Neutrik NC4MXX-BAG Male 4-Pin XLR Cable Connector (Black/Silver)

Black/Silver Neutrik NC4MXX-BAG male four-pin XLR cable connector

Black/Silver Neutrik NC4MXX-BAG combines a Black chromium-plated metal housing with silver-plated contacts. This XX-Series male four-pin XLR cable-end connector uses solder contacts and chuck-type strain relief for custom cable assembly. It is a connector component, not a finished cable or panel-mount receptacle.

Other single-connector finishes: Black/Gold NC4MXX-B and Nickel/Silver NC4MXX.

Check mating connector, pinout and cable fit

This is a four-pin XLR, not a standard three-pin microphone connector. Confirm that the equipment requires a mating female four-pin XLR and verify every pin assignment. Matching pin count and physical fit do not establish electrical compatibility.

Fits cable jackets from 3.5 to 8.0 mm outside diameter. The listed maximum wire size is 1.5 mm² / 16 AWG. Check actual conductor construction, contact fit and strain-relief grip before assembly.

For powered connections, verify polarity and the complete system's voltage/current requirements before wiring. Connector ratings do not establish the current capacity of the cable or equipment. Disconnect power before assembly or testing and follow the equipment manufacturer's connection instructions.

Assembly guidance

Fit the boot and housing parts onto the cable before soldering. Follow Neutrik's preparation and assembly instructions, identify pins from the correct viewing side, and prevent solder bridges or loose strands. Secure the chuck to the cable jacket, not the individual wires. Test continuity, shorts and any required polarity before connecting equipment.
