instruments such as the [[:Category:11800 series sampling plugins|SD-xx]] series sampling heads.
 
For yet higher frequencies, connectors similar to and partially compatible with SMA are used, such as the [[3.5 mm connector]]s and [[2.92 mm connector]]s found e.g. on some [[:Category:11800 series sampling plugins|SD-xx]] series sampling heads.
