I'm completely frustrated by the re-classification of voltage ratings
in the EU. XLR plugs previously rated for hundreds of volts in

** Been the rule for a very long time already.


Even the Neutrik " PowerCon " connector (similar to a Speakon but
intended for mains power) is not approved for domestic use.


This is not to do with voltage rating but that it locks in place - not
allowed for domestic use.
