Its not as short as yours at 22mm, but it still is shorter than the profiles of the xlrs around it.
I could have gone shorter, but I wanted a base as large as possible to apply the "warm melt glue finish" for cable strain rellief.
I went shorter than necessary - a couple mm longer would be better, I think. Not as messy a hack job. I like your glue idea, I'm gonna give that one a go one of these days.
Now I need to rework the mic connects and create an aes cable.
At least you're not having to hose around with the MMe!!
