The SAPT28 4-pack delivers four professional-grade 4-pin XLR male connectors for sound engineers, lighting technicians, and mobile performers who need reliable connections for DMX lighting, intercom systems, and specialized audio applications. These connectors handle the demanding requirements of live production where signal integrity can't be compromised.

Each connector features a robust 4-pin XLR male configuration that locks securely into place, preventing accidental disconnections during performances or installations. The solid metal construction and precision-molded housings ensure consistent contact resistance and long-term durability under frequent use.

Built for professional applications, these connectors accommodate standard 4-conductor cable configurations commonly used in DMX512 lighting control, Clear-Com intercom systems, and power-over-Ethernet audio applications. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low-resistance connections even in challenging environmental conditions.

Perfect for lighting designers building custom DMX runs, sound engineers maintaining intercom networks, and installation technicians working on churches, theaters, and conference facilities. Mobile DJs and band techs also rely on these connectors for backup repairs and custom cable builds during critical shows.

Each connector accepts standard 4-conductor shielded cable and requires basic soldering skills for termination. The pack includes four male connectors with clear pin identification for proper wiring.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and same-day shipping on in-stock orders, these connectors deliver the reliability professionals demand at a price that makes sense for bulk purchases and emergency repairs.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What applications use 4-pin XLR connectors?

4-pin XLR connectors are primarily used for DMX512 lighting control systems, Clear-Com and other professional intercom networks, and some specialized audio applications requiring 4-conductor signals. They're essential for lighting designers, theater technicians, and installation crews working with professional lighting rigs and communication systems.

Can I use these for regular audio instead of 3-pin XLR?

While physically possible, 4-pin XLR connectors are not standard for audio applications and won't be compatible with typical microphones, mixers, or PA systems that use 3-pin XLR. Use these specifically for 4-conductor applications like DMX lighting or intercom systems where the extra pin is required.

How many venues typically need DMX connector repairs?

Most professional lighting installations in theaters, churches, conference centers, and touring productions require regular DMX cable maintenance. Having spare 4-pin XLR connectors on hand prevents show-stopping failures, especially for venues running 50+ lighting fixtures or mobile productions with frequent setup and teardown.

What gauge wire works with these connectors?

These 4-pin XLR connectors accommodate standard DMX-rated cable, typically 18-22 AWG 4-conductor shielded cable with 120-ohm characteristic impedance. The solder cups are sized for professional DMX cable termination, ensuring proper signal integrity for lighting control applications.

Do these connectors include any cables or tools?

This pack includes only the four 4-pin XLR male connector housings. You'll need appropriate 4-conductor shielded cable, a soldering iron, solder, and basic hand tools to complete cable assemblies. Each connector requires soldering the four conductors plus shield connection for proper termination.
