I am replacing my audio system from single-end to balanced.
I need to DIY xlr cables.
However, when I look at the Neutrik website,
I am confused by the huge numbers of models available.
Which model is the "standard" model?
Also, is the EMC version really improve HF noise screening?

Neutrik X series and Switchcraft AA series are my go-to XLR cable connectors.
Unless you're stringing XLR cables between equipment racks at a radio broadcast site or other stupidly-high-RF environment, you probably don't need the EMC series. And even if you do, snapping some ferrites on the cable ends works just as well.

Thank you.
Bicefalo, I will order some XX-HE series next time.
I will also try EMC series and Switchcraft next time.
At the moment, I have little idea about how different series work.
I need PCB mount connectors.
I ordered a few D-series connectors for my PCB work.
Also, I ordered some XX-series connectors.

I use the NC3MXX-B and NC4MXX-B in all my projects, I think they're great.
I've used the NC3MXX-14 for a higher current project too (battery charger).
I use the NC4FBH for my board mount jacks.
If you're looking for board mount 3 pin female, I would go with the NC3FBH2. The separate pin 1 and chassis ground gives you more options, including tying them together if you want.

Yup.
I ordered some NC3MXX-B, NC3FXX-B as well as BAG version. As I am switching from single-ended system to balanced. I have no prior experience with these connectors. So, I ordered more models and see which one fit my personal preference.
For PCB mount connectors, I ordered some NC3FD-H-B and NC3MD-H-B.
Redshift, thank you for your input.
I was confused when I found some models have an additional pin but some model don't.
