adjustable right angle xlr adaptors

Very cool! Did you get the large or small caps for the cable matters connectors?
Pictures? Would love to see the zip tie strain relief...

I ordered a bunch of the Cable Techniques end caps in red and black (I got the 6mm to use with Mogami cable). I couldn't justify the $10 each per connector so I just ordered the caps at $1 each then ordered male Neutrik XLR connectors without the strain relief boot from Markertek at ~2 each and made my own connectors using hot glue and gorilla glue to seal them up.
They aren't adjustable - once you glue them in place they are obviously set that way - but in all the years I've been using cables I have never once adjusted the angle of an output connector.
Was thinking about making up some pairs and putting them in the YS. I'll probably have some cable left over from the spool I bought a while back to make up a bunch of cables for the home studio.

Likely to have better luck using a short interconnect with a male right angle XLR on one end and a straight female XLR on the other. Cable will bend in any direction, reduce stress on the chassis input jack, and the assembled chain can be much more compact.

i can help with this route if you're interested Chris

I ended up with a pair of adjustable connections and also have some short interconnects so I'm all set but thanks. I was hoping it was a matter of simply turning the xlr but involves a small set screw to adjust. not a big deal. Thanks Justin & all who replied.

I got the large caps. Strain relief is quite well illustrated in the installation instructions here: https://www.cabletechniques.com/loprodiy

Nice. As for adjusting in the future: duly noted. It it is possible that I never adjust the exit angles on these, but at least i have the option if/when that need arises.
