[QUOTE="Eric Hill - USA, post: 79934, member: 2100"] Re: X32 Discussion The decision to use locking XLR's might have been taken from Midas. We don't find locking XLR's on Behringer's other mixers. However, in the Midas realm, I would fathom that doghouses and multipin snakes are more common. As for whom the X32 is marketed to, I doubt the majority are working with multipins. In the Midas realm, where you've got a doghouse and a multipin, I would want locking XLR's. The board is back-end down, bouncing around in a truck for the majority of its life. But, not at the X32 level. It's a hassle to disconnect 32-channels with locks. In 20-some-odd years, I've never had a problem with a loose Neutrik XLR. 1/4" connectors, of course. Never a Neutrik XLR. On the other side, I've only had one snake with locking XLR's at the stage end. Never again. They bend too easily. Boils down to personal preference. Eric H. [/QUOTE]
