What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3-pin
Standard balanced audio wiring: hot, cold and ground. Rejects noise over long cable runs.
Detail 03
Cable-mount
Solders onto a cable end, not into a panel. For building or repairing loose cables.
Detail 04
Latching connector
Locks onto the mating plug and needs a button press to release. Won't pull out mid-performance.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One connector only. No cable, no male counterpart, no solder.
- 02Requires soldering and a strip-and-tin step on the cable.
- 03Check your cable's outer diameter fits the strain relief before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which end does this replace?
The end that plugs into the microphone. If your broken end connects to the mixer, you need the male version instead.
02Do I need special tools?
A soldering iron, wire strippers and helping hands. No crimper needed.
03Can I use this for DMX lighting?
It is a standard 3-pin XLR, so it will physically mate with 3-pin DMX gear.
04Is one connector enough to build a cable?
No. A finished mic cable needs this female end, a male end and bulk cable. All three are separate purchases.
