What does the XLR stand for?

Short for "Cannon X Series Latch Rubber", the original XLR cable was developed by Cannon Electric in Los Angeles. Initially, the cable did not have a latching mechanism or synthetic rubber insulation, so it was known as the Cannon X Series. In 1950, Cannon Electric added the latch ("Cannon XL"), and by 1955, the female connectors were updated with rubber ("Cannon XLR"). Most XLR cables are designed with a 3-pin connector, but four- to seven- pin designs also exist for specialty applications.
