Neutrik Question
« on: October 08, 2004, 12:10:10 PM »
Ok....Naks came on Wednesday. Cable parts came today. I ordered the Neutrik right angle female XLR's....however, there is one piece that I am not sure where it goes. It is plastic, half circle with one end closed off. Make sense? What is it? where does it go?

Look up the Neutrik website - they have good diagrams for assembly.

It covers the connections to keep any bare wire from making contact with the back housing that screws on. Open side goes toward the cable. Only fits in one way that I'm aware of.

with the right angle ones - I always feel like a 3rd hand would be useful - if you have a soldering vice, i would use it.

Didn't have one for the first cable. Used some creativity and some binder clips to hold things in place, still a bitch, especially the RA's. Will be getting a "third hand" tomorrow to finish up the second cable!

Also recommend as an added measure using shrink wrap over your solder joints....the heat melts them perfect, and also prevents the pins from shorting together from liquid or drunken dumb ass stepping on your rig.....This mostly applies to power cable applications though...I use ONLY Nuetrik building my battery cables

If you have very little room to work with shrink tubing inside the connector shell, you can also use teflon plumbers tape as an insulator.  Just wrap each joint by repeatedly threading the tape between the junctions and wired and pull the tape tight.
