    Thank you so much for the video, very helpful. My Phoenix connector going into my Genelec speakers only has two connecting terminals the positive and negative. Can I just not connect the ground from the XLR cable?

    The conductors/wires would benefit with having ferrules crimped onto the end of them before screwing into those phoenix connectors to mitigate the risk of ‘whisker shorting’. Tinning the conductor wires could also work. Doing both would be even better!

      What are you trying to connect specifically?

    Phoenix-style connections are extremely inconvenient! Why not just have a standard XLR jack on the unit?

      They offer great flexibility and are often very convenient for technicians and manufacturers. You don't need to worry about placing an XLR jack and RCA jacks and 3.5mm jacks on every unit for those who need it. Likewise there's always options if you bring the wrong sort of connector on-site, or if you want to adjust the length of the cable.
      Sure it's inconvenient sometimes but that's only if you don't have the tools at hand. Typically phoenix connectors are used more in fixed installations and you don't see them on consumer-grade stuff, or at least I'd be surprised to. If need be you could wire a female XLR connector to the phoenix connector so you're able to plug stuff in easier.

    Would anyone really plug that into a microphone? Aren't phoenix connectors typically used at a line level and not for a mic level signal?

      XLR to Phoenix is actually a pretty common inquiry.

    Please stop using "there is/there's" were it's appropriate to use "there are".
    You did it a few time in just this video.
    Thank you.
