XLR is definitely on my list of possibles, actually have a few on my
desk at the moment. I'm especially liking the XLR shell that Neutrik
makes for the RJ45. Doesn't quite meet my current spec, but I may be
able to parallel up several of the conductors to get there. (and I may
be over-specing my current...)
And XLR gets a big +1 for availability.

I seem to have overlooked the Speak-on series - or at least missed the
4 and 8 pole versions, definitely worth considering.

Thanks for the pointer
