Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector

My gaer has the non-latching or no latch female XLR connector installed as input. This is the first time I have a machine with such connector. Usually it would have a "PUSH" botton at the 12 oclock position for you to push in to release the cable.

Now without such "PUSH" botton, how can I change the installed cable if I want to try different cable later?

Hope someone had experiences with non-latching female XLR connector can provide the proper way to release connected cable.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Otto- I do agree that those receptacles would seem an unnecessary inconvenience. If you are pleased with the unit's presentation, it's might worth converting. Not really much in the way of expense and an easy swap(if you can solder). Then again- How often will you be changing ICs? Now that you know the trick(re: disconnection); Do you really need latching connectors? Enjoy your music!

Hi Rodman99999,

I do like the sound from this gear. Unfortunately I am not good at soldering. I am thinking to put the XLR-RCA adopter as temporary solution.

Thanks!

Hi Otto, what is the manufacturer and model of the machine/device having these problems?

Thanks, G.

Hello again Otto- You may find an audible signal degradation with an adapter, if the rest of your system is very resolving. Hopefully- you won't!

Hi Guidocoroda,

I don't consider it's a problem, just inconvenience. After all, it's an European manufacturer. They just might have different design concept(s) than we have here in USA.

Hi Rodman99999,

With EDGE as amplification and Montana EPX as loadspeakers, I do hope the impact would be minimal as revealation is less critical to my personal taste.

Again, thank you both for your suggestions.

Happy Listening.

Otto
