Yah, that's why they call them "Ningbo Neutrik" :roll:.

Google is your friend ;)

I stand corrected.... :-( thanx. It is logical for Nuetrik to make connectors in China... not logical for the factory to be listed ahead of the Neutrik name as if that is a feature, but know knows?

I really have been out of the trenches for a while (decade)... I recall back in the good old days meeting with the guy who ran Neutrik at the Frankfurt trade show. He was a very inventive guy always looking for ways to do connectors better. More flexible and creative than the other old line connector companies.

Word on the street is they are so named because they are "economy" versions not the same as their "regular" connectors - but still of good quality.

I don't think even the cheap Neutrik connectors sold in the USA normally have "YONGSHENG" imprinted on the shell.

I just read this:
Yongsheng and Neutrik - Harmony Central

It's pretty confusing, but it seems like the Yongsheng connectors are either grey market (made by a Neutrik subsidiary, but not intended for US import and sale) or counterfeit. Hard to tell which...
 
Re: Insert snake ?

Manufacturing components in China is always a double edged sword... You enjoy lower costs, but teach them how to compete with you, and culturally they are not shy about copying.

I can imagine a lower feature (less robust) "china" version of Neutrik connectors, offered to satisfy value customers. I do not know if there is relevant IP protecting neutrik, from other similar connectors, while brand and trademark should be defended..

PM Sent. I don't have room for the Square One stuff in the rack at this point, but I did give the Rev 500 and the D2 a good home.
