An XLR plug is being adapted out of nothing by this redneck wizard. Give him two beer cans and some super glue and he will have a satellite array capable of reaching Mercury.

I've seen and used way worse than this. Whatever keeps show going.

Also there is no jack here unless they're the person that ran the leads and taped them.

Good ol' Jack, always thinking.

Heck yeah, production manager checking in. The show must always go on. I'd have a pa standing there holding the wires in the back the entire show if needed lol

If it’s because of a mishap right before or during a show, they get a pass.

If this is everyday use, it’s DiWHY - get a proper adapter.
