Neotech NC-06612 Gold-Plated 3-Pin XLR Connectors – Set of 4

Neotech NC-06612 Cryo-Treated OFC Copper Gold-Plated XLR Connectors – Set of 4 High-quality 3-pin XLR connectors with cryogenically treated OFC copper contacts and gold plating. Designed for premium balanced analogue interconnects, the Neotech NC-06612 accepts cables up to 12mm in diameter and includes two male and two female connectors. The Neotech NC-06612 is designed for high-quality balanced XLR cable construction, combining OFC copper contacts, cryogenic treatment and gold plating with a robust connector body capable of accommodating substantially larger audiophile cables. Rather than using conventional brass as the primary contact material, the NC-06612 uses OFC copper contacts, providing a high-conductivity signal path that makes these connectors particularly well suited to premium copper and UP-OCC analogue interconnects. Each set contains two male and two female 3-pin XLR connectors, providing the four connectors required to terminate a complete stereo pair of balanced interconnect cables. OFC Copper Contacts At the heart of the NC-06612 are OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) contacts. Copper offers substantially higher electrical conductivity than the brass commonly used for the contacts in many standard audio connectors. For high-quality analogue interconnects, this allows the connector material to better complement the high-conductivity copper conductors used throughout the cable rather than introducing a conventional brass contact into the signal path. Cryogenically Treated The OFC copper contacts are also cryogenically treated as part of Neotech's approach to producing high-quality audio connectors. Combined with the OFC copper contact material and gold-plated contact surfaces, the NC-06612 is designed as a premium termination option for audiophile balanced interconnects rather than a general-purpose XLR connector. Gold-Plated Contact Surface The OFC copper contacts feature a gold-plated contact surface, providing excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion while maintaining a reliable electrical connection over repeated use. This combination of OFC copper, cryogenic treatment and gold plating makes the NC-06612 particularly suitable for high-quality analogue signal cables where both conductivity and long-term contact reliability are important. Designed for Larger Audiophile Cables A major advantage of the NC-06612 Ø12mm version is its generous cable entry. The connector is designed to accommodate cables with an outer diameter of approximately 6mm to 12mm. This makes it particularly useful for larger audiophile interconnects incorporating substantial insulation, shielding, outer sleeving or larger conductor assemblies that may not fit comfortably into conventional XLR connectors. It is an excellent termination choice for many Neotech high-end analogue interconnect cables and other premium balanced cable constructions. Built for High-Quality Balanced Interconnects The NC-06612 is a 3-pin XLR connector suitable for balanced analogue connections between DACs, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, power amplifiers, active speakers and other balanced audio equipment. Solder termination allows the cable conductors to be connected directly to the OFC copper contacts, making the NC-06612 suitable for both experienced DIY builders and professionally assembled custom cables. For builders already investing in high-quality Neotech copper or UP-OCC cable, the NC-06612 provides a connector designed to complement the quality of the cable rather than relying on conventional brass signal contacts.
