Partyline: What is the correct Neutrik 6-pin XLR for RS-702 and RS-602 Encore party-line beltpacks?
Question: We are trying to retro-fit a school with your RS-602 beltpacks on a PL system and the 6 pin XLR male panel mount outputs (Neutrik) and beltpack PL cable 6-pin male / female inline XLR (Neutrik) are a different pin-out. I need the correct connectors ASAP so we can get this finished off.
Answer: Currently there are two configurations of conventional 6 pin XLRs. NEUTRIK offers both types of 6-pin configurations. The standard or "S" series NEUTRIK 6-pin XLR is Clear-Com compatible for use with RS-602 and RS-702 series beltpacks and the AB-100.
The Euro version NEUTRIK 6-pin XLR has pins that are offset slightly from the "S" version and not compatible with Clear-Com products.
To build 6-pin XLR patch cables for use with RS-602 / RS-702 beltpacks use the following Neutrik parts:
NC6FSXX - 6-pin female XLR
NC6MSXX - 6pin male XLR
To build 6-pin XLR wall plates use the following Neutrik part:
NC6MSD-1
