The female XLR on the cable has the locking release mechanism on the cable itself and you should not be a issue with locking or non-locking XLR jacks . The possible problem is with the male end of the XLR cable which normally has a slot that could lock into the female plug on the amp. I hear of Audeze LCD3 users have their headphones locked into the amp and needed to take the amp apart to release the lock since the WA22 does not use locking release levers on the female XLR's on the amp. I have no idea how wide spread the problem is and if Woo made changes to their female XLR connections on the amp.

I just received my WA22 yesterday.
The 4 pin stereo plug is locked in the Jack..
Jack said I should have had a Non-Locking Plug for the Non-Locking Amp Jack?
I called Neutrick and spoke to two techs and both said they never heard of a non-locking plug
I searched the web last night for hours looking for one and all I found was non-locking jacks..
My opinion is Jack forgot to remove the lock on the jack and is now implying its may fault..
I'd have less of a problem removing the lock if he just said he made a mistake and asked than blaming it on me is now how I feel..
Anyone use the 4Pin XLR and have you ever heard of a Non-Locking XLR Plug?
