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the XLR-LNE connector) had shrouded pins and red insulation, it was intended as a mains power connector, but has been superseded by the IEC 60320 series of connectors and increasingly, more recently, the PowerCon connector developed by Neutrik.

Famous quotes containing the words obsolete and/or patterns:
“So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
