NEUTRIK XLR AND JACK COMBINED CONNECTORS - I series - Panel type
Many pieces of equipment have two input connectors – a 3 pin XLR, low impedance balanced, often for microphones, and a 2 or 3 pole 6.35mm jack, usually high impedance unbalanced. In almost all cases only one of the inputs is used at a time, so it reduces panel space and costs to combine these into a single connector, also simplifying PCB design.
The I series “combi”, the “XLR with a hole”, are the first XLR/jack hybrid connectors. The jack plug…
