Amphenol Australia have been manufacturing
and designing innovative XLR connectors
since 1955 and were the first to offer the cost

ideal for Original Equipment Manufacturers

to our standard solder connector. The AC
series cable connector range complies with
IEC268-12 and AES 14-1992 standards.
CSA File Number 68598.
