„HolerICONdilijööh!“
That’s the motto at HICON, because the new ‘Alpine connector’ is here, an XLR connector with summit quality.
With the new ‘Alp-Line XLR series‘ HICON presents the result of its German-Austrian joint project in connection technology: professional 3-pin XLR connectors (female: HI-X3CFA-NXT / male: HI-X3CMA-NXT) with genuine gold-plated contacts in the highest quality workmanship for optimum signal transmission. The particularly robust construction in a high-quality metal housing ensures increased durability, while the elegant black silk matt finish is visually appealing and the slim, ergonomic design ensures a comfortable feel – ideal for daily use in demanding audio, lighting, and event technology applications.
The special clamping chuck design of the connectors provides a decent pull-out force and at the same time facilitates installation. At the end of the connector, a flexible plastic cap with integrated kink protection effectively protects the cable from bending stress. Special feature: Thanks to the clever rib structure, the cap can be fitted quickly and easily without any additional tools.
For easy identification in complex cabling systems, the connectors are equipped with orange-colored rings as standard; a black replacement ring for alternative markings is included in the scope of delivery. By the way, the connectors are delivered in environmentally friendly packaging that is completely free of plastic.
The connectors are suitable for cables with a diameter of 3.0 to 8.0 mm. Sommer cable has developed the perfectly matching highly flexible DMX cable SC-Binary 225 (art. no. 510-0051), which, together with our new connectors, makes the ready-to-use DMX-AES/EBU Alpine cable of the new ‘BERG’ series (3-pin). This combination is ideal for ambitious lighting riggers and event professionals who need to rely on their equipment even at lofty heights.
