    "A DIN connector" isn't quite black and white like other connectors are. It looks vaguey like # 4637 on this linked page but even that's a stretch : http://www.universal-radio.com/CATAL...s/dinconn.html

    Cinch Connector

    Cinch is a connector company. I believe it is a DIN connector.
    I think you'll find the male connector here.

    http://www.cinch.com/view_item.cinch...ion_title=Misc. Commercial&item_id=165#

    Go to "products" (far left tab) then click on "Misc Commercial"

    You may have to take that part# and buy it from a distributor, (Newark Electronics, and Allied Electronics are a few), but I would just google Cinch and the part# and take it from there.

    It looks like an XLR balanced connection used for high-end inputs and outputs. It's also used for microphones. They're usually "keyed" as the notch indicates in the photo and have a locking mechanism. Here's a male and female Canare XLR.

    Female inline plug.

    Looks like I gave you some bad info, sorry. I think it's made by Switchcraft. The photo shows a 5 pin, (just because it's from the same family I assume) but the part number is actually a 3 pin. (female panel mount)

    You can verify by clicking on the catalog link (pg 171) towards the bottom of the page.

    This is the corresponding male connector:
