Professional 3-Pin XLR Inline Male Connector | High-Fidelity Black Shielded Audio Plug 🎤🎧

This 3-Pin XLR Inline Male Connector is a premium-grade audio component designed for professional balanced signal transmission. Featuring a sleek, non-reflective black finish and a rugged zinc-alloy chassis, this solder-type plug is the industry standard for creating or repairing high-performance microphone cables, DMX lighting leads, and balanced studio interconnects.

Key Product Features

• Universal 3-Pin Balanced Interface: Standard XLR configuration (Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Hot, Pin 3: Cold) optimized for noise-free, long-distance audio runs and professional recording setups.

• Rugged Zinc-Alloy Shell: The heavy-duty metal housing provides maximum physical protection for internal solder joints and acts as a barrier against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency (RFI) interference.

• Integrated Rubber Strain Relief: Equipped with a flexible black rubber boot at the cable entry point to prevent sharp bending and internal wire fatigue, significantly extending the life of your custom cables.

• Internal Chuck-Type Strain Relief: Features a high-grip internal plastic chuck that securely locks onto the cable jacket, ensuring the wires remain intact even if the cable is accidentally tugged.

• Precision-Machined Contacts: High-conductivity pins ensure a stable, low-resistance connection and are designed for high insertion cycles without signal degradation.

• Professional Black Finish: The matte black coating is ideal for stage use and live broadcasting, as it minimizes light reflections and maintains a low-profile aesthetic.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

⚙️ What is the difference between the Male and Female XLR? The Male connector (this model) features three exposed pins and is typically used on the "Output" end of a device, such as the bottom of a microphone or the output of a mixer. The Female connector features three sockets and is found on the "Input" side of cables and equipment.

🔌 Can I use this for 3-pin DMX lighting? Yes. While specialized DMX cables are recommended for data, this 3-pin XLR connector is fully compatible with standard 3-pin DMX lighting fixtures and controllers.

⚠️ Is it difficult to assemble? Not at all. The internal insert is removable, providing easy access to the solder buckets. Pro-tip: Remember to slide the black rubber boot and the metal housing onto your cable before you solder the wires to the pins!
