SAPT28 - 4 Pin XLR Male Connector
Professional audio engineers and technicians rely on quality XLR connectors for dependable signal transmission in live sound systems. The SAPT28 4-pin XLR male connector pack delivers the reliability you need for lighting control, intercom systems, and specialized audio applications requiring 4-conductor connections.
These male XLR connectors handle multi-channel signal routing and power distribution in professional installations. The 4-pin configuration supports applications that standard 3-pin XLR cannot, making them essential for digital lighting protocols, powered microphone systems, and intercom networks.
Each connector features robust construction with secure locking mechanisms and corrosion-resistant contacts. The metal housing provides electromagnetic shielding while the strain relief protects against cable stress at connection points. Gold-plated pins ensure consistent signal transfer and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Use these connectors for DMX lighting control in concert venues, intercom systems in theaters and broadcast facilities, or powered microphone installations in conference centers and houses of worship. They're also essential for custom cable fabrication when standard cables don't meet your specific routing requirements.
The 4-pack format ensures you have spares on hand for field repairs or multiple installations. Each connector requires soldering for permanent cable attachment, making them ideal for custom cable builds or replacing damaged connectors on existing cables.
Seismic Audio backs these professional-grade connectors with a one-year warranty and fast shipping to keep your projects on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications require 4-pin XLR connectors instead of standard 3-pin?
4-pin XLR connectors are essential for DMX lighting control systems, powered condenser microphones that need phantom power plus signal, intercom systems with talk-back capability, and some digital audio protocols. The extra pin allows for additional power distribution or signal channels that 3-pin XLR cannot accommodate.
Do I need special tools to install these connectors?
Yes, these connectors require soldering for proper installation. You'll need a soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, and basic electrical skills to attach them to cables. The secure connection created by soldering ensures reliable signal transmission in professional applications where push-on connectors might fail.
Can these connectors be used for standard microphone applications?
While physically compatible, 4-pin XLR connectors are not recommended for standard dynamic microphones or line-level audio signals that only need 3 conductors. Use 3-pin XLR for standard audio applications to avoid confusion and ensure proper connections with standard audio equipment.
How many connectors do I need for a typical DMX lighting setup?
A basic DMX chain requires one male connector per fixture connection and female connectors for the controller output and any daisy-chain points. For a 10-fixture setup, you'd typically need 10-12 male connectors plus corresponding female connectors, making this 4-pack suitable for smaller installations or repairs.
Are these connectors compatible with all 4-pin XLR equipment?
Yes, these follow standard 4-pin XLR specifications and work with any equipment designed for 4-pin XLR connections. However, always verify pin assignments and voltage requirements for your specific application, as different manufacturers may use the 4 pins for different purposes in specialized equipment.
