The ones I have lock (Ted's), and I assume yours do, but I've read here on the board and seen photos of some that just push in without a locking tab.  It could be those were all homebrewed DIY stubbies, but I can't remember.   You're a cable expert though, maybe I'm crazy.

Gutbucket, it was kinda dark in The Green Room, but in my strictly ameteur opinion, you didn't look crazy that day...I can't speak about other days though.   ;)

Years of Pavlovian self-conditioning have honed to perfection my impersonation of brief moments of what normal people consider sanity, which I've found socially useful in snowing-over lay psychologists of both sexes whenever it suits my agenda.  :-*

Shortened XLR connectors. Some straight, some right angled; pictures are worth more than my verbal skills so http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=133186.0

XLR Connectors that have been modified to remove the rubber boot and often notched for side entry of the cable.  They fit better in bags and tight spaces. They also are smaller on the mic end.

Thanks. Translations provided by the dictionary may not be explicit sometimes because of technical context.
I have seen those connectors but didn't realize that metal xlr connectors have been cut, just saw an example with a plastic connector of that kind of work.
It should not be easy to cut those metal connectors, what tool do you use, if it's not a secret?

I used a Dremel rotary tool with cutting disc. Went through a few discs, but doable.
