[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 67160, member: 158"] Re: Floor Box Connectors i never use my thumb to release locking tabs. It's always my index finger. Thant way I can rotate my hand in any orientation to release it except for maybe upside down... frankly I think locking tabs are overrated. Back a few years ago we built our new splitters and subs snakes with switchcraft female XLRS, but without ANY locking tabs. I honestly cannot think of a single time it presented a problem in literally over a thousand shows and many thousands of connections. I CAN think of quite a few times when broken tabs caused me to have to disassemble an entire stage box in order to remove a trapped XLR cable. while we're on the subject of floor pockets and XLRS. If the connector is never going to be seen, Please don't use a black connector on a black plate in a black floor pocket. Yes, it looks clean and nice. It's also a devil of a thing on a dark stage. The good old fashioned switchcraft green with the chrome surround works great. Ugly, yes. But much easier to see in the dark. [/QUOTE]
