Anybody tried this type of connector pair for Mic PSU/Cable ?

[Rob Flinn]

Ever the cheapskate I'm trying to find something that's potentially good quality & not as expensive as using XLR's ?

Seems to tick the boxes

Use is running both power and signal for a mic ? Not inexpensive - what is cost for XLR option ?

What's wrong with Cliff UK 7-pin XLRs? Couple quid each, can be found in standard footprints / shells...

Nothing in particular. The Cliff factory is actually not that far from where I live. It's just every time I compare Cliff products to say Neutrik there's something about them that feels not so good.

Ahh... you're restricting your XLR options to Neutrik ? Understandable if so tbf.

Looks like a waterproof version of the GX20 connectors.

Looks like a waterproof version of the GX20 connectors.

There is a basic data sheet on the auction pics. It's a WS connector. Going by the dimensions on the data sheet it's somewhat more substantial than the GX series. For example that cable connector is supposed to be 26mm diameter. I ordered a pair so will report back when they arrive.
