Female Male XLR Audio Microphone Plug Connector Adapter

High-Quality Male and Female XLR Connectors for Professional Audio Applications

Enhance your audio setup with these precision-engineered XLR connectors, designed for both professional and DIY use. Whether you're building custom microphone cables or upgrading existing ones, these connectors deliver reliable performance, durability, and a sleek ergonomic design that feels as good as it looks. Ideal for studios, live sound environments, and broadcast applications, they ensure clean signal transmission while minimizing interference.

Key Features:

• Graceful arc-shaped body for comfortable handling and secure fit
• Die-cast metal housing with rubber insulation for superior shielding and mechanical protection
• Tool-free assembly—no clamping screws required, simplifying installation
• Compatible with standard 3-pin XLR cables used in microphones, mixers, and recording gear
• Optimized for balanced audio signals to reduce noise over long cable runs

These connectors are crafted using high-grade materials to withstand frequent use in demanding conditions. The die-cast construction ensures robustness, while the integrated rubber casing provides electrical isolation and reduces vibration-induced noise. Their streamlined design makes them ideal for retrofitting older cables or creating new ones tailored to specific needs—whether for studio vocals, instrument mics, or stage setups. With no need for additional tools during installation, they save time and effort without compromising on quality.

Perfect for integrating into professional audio systems, these XLR plugs support balanced connections—an essential feature for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintaining pristine sound clarity. Unlike unbalanced cables that rely on just two conductors (signal and ground), XLRs use three wires: hot, cold, and ground—allowing for effective noise cancellation even in electrically noisy environments. This makes them the preferred choice among engineers and musicians worldwide.

Use cases include connecting dynamic or condenser microphones to mixing consoles, linking PA systems, installing wireless mic receivers, or building custom snake cables for multi-source audio routing. They’re also suitable for connecting lighting control units and other low-voltage devices that utilize 4-pin XLR configurations. These connectors are not only functional but also built to last, offering long-term reliability for both fixed installations and mobile productions.

Customers appreciate the seamless integration of these connectors into their existing workflows. Many note how easy it is to solder or crimp them onto cable assemblies, especially when working with 20AWG or 18AWG shielded audio cables. Feedback highlights consistent signal integrity across multiple channels, minimal signal loss, and an overall upgrade in audio quality compared to generic alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can XLR connectors be used for both audio and power transmission? Yes, while primarily designed for balanced audio signals, certain variants like 4-pin XLR connectors can carry low-voltage DC power—commonly used to supply phantom power to condenser microphones or operate remote-controlled lighting systems in theater and event production.

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced connections? Balanced connections, typically found in professional setups using XLR, employ three conductors to cancel out external noise through differential signaling. Unbalanced connections, often seen in consumer gear, use only two conductors (signal and ground) and are more prone to picking up electromagnetic interference over longer distances.

How many pins does a standard Xlr Connector have? The most widely adopted version has three pins, commonly referred to as "3-pin XLR." However, specialized versions exist with 4, 5, 6, or even 7 pins for applications such as digital audio transmission, stage lighting control, or bi-directional data communication in modern audio interfaces.

What else can you purchase from us? We offer a full range of high-performance RF, DC power, UHF, audio/video, and car antenna connectors—ideal for electronics enthusiasts, audio technicians, and system integrators seeking durable, industry-standard components for a wide variety of projects.
