| Re: What solution do folks use for the dreaded BFD hum?
Typically XLR’s have built-in strain relief. Some have a pair of screws 180 degrees apart at the end of the barrel that you can tighten down. Neutrik XLRs (the ones in the pictures I posted before) have a built-in collar that clamps down on the cable when you screw the barrel on.
The soldered connection is very robust – it’s not going to break free. The wires will break before the solder gives up.
