not include XLR output, only input, so I'm looking for a good clean<br>

TRS, so electrically it isn't anything spectacular, but I'm looking to<br>
punch the enclosure in a nice way and then install the plug. I was<br>
wondering if anyone had experience with this, and can recommend a good<br>
combination of panel mount XLR jack and a punch that makes holes that<br>
fit it well. I know Neutrik do panel mount XLR, so that would be my<br>
go-to, but I don't know how best to go about doing the hole punching,<br>
so I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences. Thanks.<br>
