Many, many broadcast studio consoles use the smaller Molex (and the similar
AMP series of connectors) for audio and low voltage control connections. I
have experienced very little problem with the Molex connectors in these sort
of applications. The few times I've had trouble, it was due to faulty
crimping, not the male-to-female pin contact. I've been very pleased with
Molex connectors... but don't get me talking about the old Cinch-Jones
plugs! Now *they* did have trouble with low-level signals...
