7pin XLR inserts

[MicScharf]

Does anybody know a reasnable source for 7pin m XLR inserts in the EU/Germany?

You might find it cheaper to buy a complete plug and simply remove and use the internal connector as an insert.
Something like THIS is not too expensive.

Or something like this would be even more affordable

And if the mic body you're using happened to come with a 3-pin insert, you can slip that into this shell, and use it as the output

OK, so UK is not in the EU any more but they might post to you.

... And then there's the potential hassle with customs

And seven quid a piece? Plus 12 quid(!) shipping... When TME's UPS express saver is 9,90eur and gets you the package in two business days...

Best option I found,
I already installed it and works great

Anyone know where I can get a 7pin XLR mic insert in the UK? Do I need to buy a chassis connector and cannibalise it or are they available as a separate part?

I've seen them on ebay, from UK sellers.

Although you might want to see who distributes Cliff UK connectors in the UK, or whether you can even buy from them directly.

Those chassis mounts are convenient because you can slip in the 3-pin insert that came with your mic (body), and use that for the output on the PSU.

Thanks! Very useful info.

Buy it from Aliexpress,
it will be delivered to your home, and it will be cheaper than any UK store

No you don't need to cannibalise it,
check my link

Ok thanks all, have gone the Aliexpress route. The Ebay seller I found was selling these same ones at vastly
inflated prices, and the Cliff part is out of stock in the UK.

Best,
Jim
