Professional XLR female panel mount connectors designed for studio builders, venue installers, and audio technicians who need to add microphone inputs to mixing consoles, patch bays, or custom audio panels. Each connector features a black metal housing that matches professional rack equipment and provides long-term durability in high-use environments.

These connectors handle standard balanced microphone signals and line-level audio, delivering clean signal transfer through solder cup terminations that ensure solid electrical connections. The metal construction provides superior shielding compared to plastic alternatives, reducing electromagnetic interference in dense equipment racks.

Built to Series D hole pattern specifications, these connectors fit standard 24mm panel cutouts found on most professional audio equipment. The solder cup design accommodates 22-24 AWG wire, while the metal housing provides proper grounding through the mounting nut. Each connector includes all necessary hardware for secure panel mounting.

Use these for expanding input channels on mixing boards, building custom DI boxes, or retrofitting older equipment with additional microphone inputs. They're equally suited for permanent installations in churches, schools, and recording studios where reliable long-term performance matters more than quick connections.

Installation requires basic soldering skills and a 24mm hole saw or step bit for panel preparation. Each pack includes five complete connectors with mounting hardware.

Seismic Audio backs these connectors with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to install. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point for projects requiring multiple connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hole size do I need to cut for these XLR connectors?

These connectors follow the standard Series D hole pattern, which requires a 24mm (approximately 15/16 inch) diameter hole. Most professional audio equipment uses this same standard, so these will fit existing panel cutouts or new holes cut with a standard chassis punch or step bit.

Do these connectors work for both microphone and line level signals?

Yes, these XLR female connectors handle any balanced audio signal including microphone level, line level, and AES digital audio. The connector itself doesn't affect signal level – that's determined by the equipment you're connecting and any preamps or processing in your signal chain.

What wire gauge works best with the solder cup terminals?

The solder cups accommodate 22-24 AWG wire, which covers standard microphone cable and most audio installation wire. Use stranded wire rather than solid core for better flexibility and vibration resistance in audio applications.

Can I mount these in plastic equipment panels or do they need metal?

While these work in both metal and plastic panels, metal panels provide better shielding and grounding. If using plastic panels, ensure you run a separate ground wire from the connector shell to your equipment's ground reference for proper shielding.

How do these compare to Neutrik connectors for studio use?

These provide similar electrical performance to name-brand connectors at a lower cost per unit, making them ideal for multi-connector projects where budget matters. The metal housing and solder cup design deliver professional reliability for permanent installations.
