Hi Max,
There is a possibility that you have come across a 'counterfeit' Neutrik, t=
hey do exist,
this is why they started to put holographic marks on each connector. I have=
both the black
and nickel versions are they are interchangeable.

ntation. When I came to connect up to test it, I made an odd discovery. A '=

5-1.0mm. This struck me as being odd and was quite a surprise. I imagine th=

, has anybody else ever had similar problems, either with Neutrik or other =
connectors?
