Obsolete Patterns
Many other types of connectors using the XLR type shell exist, with various pin configurations. Most notable are two now obsolete three-pin patterns manufactured by ITT Cannon.
The power Cannon (also called the XLR-LNE connector) had shrouded pins and red insulation, it was intended as a mains power connector, but has been superseded by the IEC 60320 series of connectors and increasingly, more recently, the PowerCon connector developed by Neutrik.
