[BC] Right Angle XLR

[Mike McCarthy]

Typically, the Switchcraft XLR will have the tab on top and the grove/pin 
on the lower left.  Which means the shell/cable aims down more often than not.

The reason is simply clearance to the locking tab.  the locking tab is 
always opposite the cable end unless the cable barrel is longer than 
usual.  Otherwise, you would never get your finger in there to unlock the 
connector.
