Seetronic SCSF3-BG 3pin XLR

I always use either Neutrik or Amphenol connectors when making my own cables. The quality is first-rate and the dealing with the hassle of bad connectors isn't worth saving a few € in my book. However, these look so much like Neutriks and are so much cheaper that I bought a few to try them out.

Cosmetically, they really are shameless clones: unless you look closely you won't notice the difference. But they aren't the quite the same. I accidentally snapped one of the plastic cable-grippers which appears to be made from quite brittle plastic. I have never done that with one of the premium brands. They also don't seem to fit quite at tightly as the more expensive ones.

That said, they are very much cheaper than the branded ones and they aren't at all bad. I probably wouldn't trust them on a cable that was going to be plugged in and out a lot or was going to be subjected to lots of movement or strain, but for fairly static applications they are more than good enough.

When I first came across the Seetronic SCSF3-BG 3-pin XLR connector, I was unfamiliar with the brand. However, after using it, I can confidently say that it does what it's supposed to do, and it does it well.

The construction of this connector is top-notch. It feels solid and well-built, which is important when you're dealing with audio equipment. The pins are well-placed and make a secure connection, ensuring that there's no signal loss or interference.

Overall, I highly recommend the Seetronic SCSF3-BG 3-pin XLR connector to anyone looking for a high-quality connector that gets the job done. It may not be a well-known brand, but it's definitely worth considering if you want a reliable and well-constructed XLR connector.
