What is this connector called?

[Guest]

I need to know what is audio ground and whats plus(as i like tot call it:) it's from an old record player

Is it by any chance a Bang & Olufsen turntable?

Anyway, it's a DIN 41529 connector. It was a very common connector in German and Northern European HiFi gear.

The flat, long pin is the neutral and the short round pin is positive.

In that case it's not a Bang and Olufsen, but was was a very common connector in Germany. so that would make sense.

Bang & Olufsen was a very popular brand in the '60s, '70s and '80s and they used DIN 41529 connectors for the longest time, so I was just curious to see if it was a Bang & Olufsen. 

It was nothing more than curiosity.

Still a pretty popular brand today too. They're a Danish company that make high-end designer media stuff. Mainly audio, but also TV. It's pretty nice stuff, but you can find better sound quality at that price point, just maybe not as nice looking.
