4 pin xlr is also standard for pro audio/video. So you might want to use the
same pin configuration as the ‘standard’ so you can use the large variety of
accessories available.

Glad I read all the replies since I was also going to suggest Canon
connectors. I have used the 3 pin canon because they are easy to find
and I am not going to plug a microphone into a power supply. The
breakout box is unique enough to not get it confused with anything
else. (Not suitable for the general public!!!)
That said, the 4 pin canon is a good idea. It is a power supply
standard. You can find cables online.
Mine is designed for battery use. I put reverse biased diodes across
the supply and use a fuse. I never hooked it up backwards but you never
know.
4 pin is pin 1 is gnd, pin 4 is +12V
BTW there is a weird 4 pin configuration with 3 in a triangle and 1 pin
in the middle. I've seen it in a catalog, but never in the wild.
The 5 pin XLR is used for DMX lighting controllers, so you want to
either be compatible pinout (i.e. not blow things up) or avoid it. Pin 1
is ground, don't recall how the rest is laid out, other than it's a pair
The 6 pin XLR is a bit unusual, and the pins are significantly smaller, too.
