Title: XLR Caps
Post by: Phil Zone on January 19, 2014, 12:33:48 PM
Anyone know where to get some of the caps that go over xlr connectors for when in transport? I know some people use them, and they are a great idea. All I want are the rubber one that are cheap. Everything I have found is metal and way to expensive. If anyone knows if they are on amazon.com that would be the best.

Thank you

Anything without a chain, like a Caplug?

Louie aka Nolafishwater used to make/sell them. Maybe hit him up. Theyre yellow and do NOT have a chain! Nother reason why my whole rig is always plugged in and ready to go! Just add batteries and hit record 8) But if I were still running XLR cables, Id probably own them too!
