Neutrik ConvertCON: Don't Look Back Or Be Turned To Salt

June 10, 2008
Neutrik ConvertCON

Thanks to the desensitizing effects of the liberal media, Neutrik has released the first ever unisex XLR cable connector, the convertCON, with little uproar from America's slowly unraveling moral compass. Perhaps the most reprehensible part of this story is that they credit the development of this connector to response to the demands of the foaming, frothing masses. What am I supposed to tell my children?

The Neutrik convertCON is a three-pin male and female cable connector in a single housing. It can change between male and female simply by sliding the housing back and forth. Now, you can plug any side of any XLR cable into one connector instead of using the proper and separate connectors or your conscience.

ConvertCON's sexual ambiguity isn't its only feature, It also features an improved chuck type strain relief that provides higher pull-out force and expedites the assembly process. Its heavy-duty zinc die cast shell promotes longevity and reliability while maintaining good looks that might deceive you into sinfully using this piece.

Neutrik USA president Jim Cowan adamantly refused that designing a unisex XLR connector was an abomination of nature:

"Designing and manufacturing a unisex XLR connector was the natural next step for Neutrik. ConvertCon was specifically designed to offer the ultimate in convenience to our consumers. We really try to listen to our consumers' feedback -- from the top integrators in the industry to each individual user -- a unisex XLR connector was a consistent request that we have brought to reality."
