Nice one... thanks, Svart. It's Pomona, too, not some no-name junk. Those M-F XLR "barrels" are handy for pads (as you say), Pin-1 lifts, polarity inverters, terminators, etc. I think I'll order a bunch for work.
Yeah I just happened to be thumbing through the catalog for something else and saw those by accident. Without the picture the description was a little cryptic online so I doubt I would have found them otherwise.
For the price, it beats the switchcraft 20$ alternative. they seem pretty good quality.
Nice price! I've been skipping those expensive Soundcrafts so far and using some replacement-trick, but that can stop now.
I've been using the trick (as posted by SSSLtech IIRIC) of bolting together a F-XLR & M-XLR with the two screws at the cable end - those types where you can remove the small U-cable clamp.
BTW, for those in Europe www.conrad.de has some cheap shells as well that can be abused for other purposes.
Here's for instance Artikel-Nr.: 301120 - 62: ADAPTER XLR-M/XLR-F MIT PHASENDREHER
(let's assume they meant to say POLARITATSUMTAUSCHER(sp?) :twisted: )

Because these are 'now' so easy I've been considering skipping pad-switches on pre-amp-boxes.
