Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable gauge works with the SAPT14 XLR connector?

The SAPT14 accommodates standard 20-24 AWG audio cable, which covers most professional microphone and line-level applications. The rubber grommet provides strain relief for cables in this range, ensuring secure connections that won't pull apart during transport or performance.

Can I use this connector to repair damaged microphone cables?

Yes, the SAPT14 is ideal for repairing damaged XLR cables in the field. You'll need basic soldering skills to attach the cable conductors to the connector's terminals - pin 1 for ground/shield, pin 2 for positive, and pin 3 for negative in standard balanced wiring configurations.

How does this compare to plastic XLR connectors?

The SAPT14's metal housing provides superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, especially important for touring applications where connectors experience regular handling and transport stress. The threaded locking mechanism also offers more secure connections than basic plastic latches.

What's the difference between male and female XLR connectors?

XLR male connectors like the SAPT14 feature protruding pins and typically terminate the source end of cables - such as microphone outputs or mixer sends. Female connectors have recessed sockets and usually terminate the destination end, like mixer inputs or powered speaker inputs.

Do I need special tools to assemble this connector?

You'll need a soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, and a small screwdriver to properly assemble the SAPT14. The connector includes all internal hardware, but professional assembly requires basic electronics skills to ensure proper signal wiring and strain relief installation.
