2. Re: Microphone cabling

["John Tudor" jtudor2005]

I just want to clarify the male/female thing here. I know what my
parents told me as a kid (and I've seen those magazines with pictures)
BUT.....

The male pinned XLR has a female socket style casing and the female
pinholed XLR has a male plug style casing.

When we talk about male/female XLR we are talking about the PINS not
the CASING aren't we??
