German Speakers: "Machine Plug?"

[bishopthomas]

Hey, folks. I'm working out details of a gig via email with someone from Germany and he has asked me to provide "8 x machine plug." He said he'd email me a photo tomorrow, but curiosity (and a timeline) is killing this cat. Any ideas?

Bühne Stift und Maschinenstecker (stage pin and machine plug) Im going to go out on a limb and say its a water or outdoor rated stage pin.

Would it be a power plug? - Germans would tend to use IEC60309 aka CeeForm

Note that it will probably be blue cee and thus expecting to see 230V not 115V (which would use a yellow cee)...

Chris, you were right. Ended up being an IEC cable. The gigs are now over, gear back in the shop, and (most importantly) money in my back account! Thanks for your help, folks!

Was it ceeform or an IEC a la the back of a PC?

IEC, like the back of a computer. He had the IEC's that came with the unit, but they were all terminated in the European plug (the two round ones, set further apart than ours).

At least it was something easy to get a hold of.
