Cable Techniques CTAX3 Reviews

Great quality, super low profile, finicky assembly

By Chandler

I’ve assembled a few of these so far for spots where I need a low profile plug but where strain relief is not the top priority. They work great for that with no complaints!  The only caveat is the assembly process is a bit finicky, specifically with sliding the soldered plug into the housing. It can easily become misaligned even after tightening the grub screws. What I’ve found helps is to mate the connector to another XLR before tightening down the screws. Overall, highly recommended! If I need another low-profile XLR, I will not hesitate to get these again.

Perfect for many audio interfaces

I use this to plug my microphones into a MOTU UltraLite Mk5. The mic connectors in the front are the only thing I don't like about it, it makes a mess on my desk. This connector helps a lot to run the cable so it doesn't take up much space in front of the interface at all.
