I've heard these referred to as aviation connectors before now - as I understand it they are used for the headphones on radios. So, yes, they fly, but let's not oversell them. My main concern with them is these (and they are in common use for these machines) is that they aren't really rated for the currents that you might expect. For example

You can see these are rated unto 1A. Probably not much of an issue for a small machine - your switching currents are going to be around 1.5-3A, but clearly out of spec for the connectors. My last iteration of <strike>upgrading</strike> updating my controller I replaced all with XLRs.Last edited by Doddy; 15-12-2017 at 11:22 AM.
