6 pin XLR. Can't tell from the pic what size you've got - regular or mini - but I got all of mine from Mouser. Their server runs slow sometimes but navigate to:
All Products > Connectors > Audio & Video Connectors > XLR Connectors, then use the buttons to narrow it down to 6 pin, female, 50V, choose your solder type etc.

Circular connector, but it doesn't conform to any XLR female. Looks like a variation of standard Aviation Circular connectors.

Note the different spacing between pins 1 and 2, and between 2, 3, 4, and 5. Not just missing a socket hole. Probably a custom design.

Well I'll be darned! Had to take one more look through Google Images: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shi ... 24901.html

I believe that this is a variant of a 6-Pin DIN Plug. I have a few lurking in my Plugs/Sockets Box. They were originally used in 1980s Stereo Equipment.
Could also be a DX-16 Audio Plug as used for Guitar Amplifiers around the same period.

Also look for microphone or panel connectors. Inventables has these as well as a famous auction website.
