Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the XLR male plug and the XLR female jack?
A: The XLR male plug has three protruding pins and is typically used on the cable end that connects to a microphone or audio source output. The XLR female jack has three recessed sockets and is typically used on the end that connects to a mixer, audio interface, or recording equipment input. Both are included as separate selectable options.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install these XLR connectors?
A: Yes — these are solder-type connectors, so you will need a soldering iron, solder wire, and a wire stripper. The tail-hole diameter of approximately 5 mm accommodates most standard microphone and audio cable outer diameters. No crimping tool is required.
Q: Are these 3-pin XLR connectors compatible with standard balanced audio cables?
A: Absolutely. These 3-pole XLR connectors follow the standard XLR-3 pinout used universally in professional balanced audio applications, making them compatible with microphones, mixers, amplifiers, stage boxes, and other balanced audio gear that uses the XLR standard.
Q: What materials are these connectors made from, and how durable are they?
A: The connectors are constructed from iron, zinc alloy, and plastic. The metal shell provides structural rigidity and shielding, while the plastic housing offers insulation and a comfortable grip during plugging and unplugging. They are rated for low-voltage use (below 50V AC / 75V DC).
