Professional audio installations demand clean, reliable connections at every connection point. The SA-PLATE38 delivers exactly that with four XLR male connectors mounted in a robust stainless steel wall plate designed for permanent installations in studios, venues, and houses of worship.

This 2-gang wall plate eliminates cable clutter and provides secure, professional connections for microphones, direct boxes, and other balanced audio sources. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains its appearance in high-traffic environments where plastic plates would crack or discolor.

The plate measures 4 5/8" x 4 1/2" and fits standard 2-gang electrical boxes, making installation straightforward for any electrician or audio technician. Each XLR connector is secured with screws rather than rivets, allowing for field servicing if needed. The silver finish complements both modern and traditional installation aesthetics.

Studios use these plates for permanent mic inputs in live rooms and isolation booths. Churches install them at pulpits and choir positions for consistent microphone placement. Conference rooms benefit from the clean, built-in connections for presentation audio. The four-connector configuration handles multiple sources without requiring additional wall space.

Installation requires only basic electrical skills and a standard 2-gang box. Mounting screws are included with the plate. Connect your XLR cables directly to the rear of the connectors for a permanent, professional installation.

Each SA-PLATE38 includes a one-year warranty and ships ready to install with all necessary hardware included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of electrical box do I need for this wall plate?

This wall plate fits any standard 2-gang electrical box. The 4 5/8" x 4 1/2" dimensions are designed to cover the box completely while providing proper clearance for the XLR connectors. Make sure your box has sufficient depth to accommodate the connector bodies and your wiring connections.

Can I service or replace the XLR connectors if one fails?

Yes, the XLR connectors are secured with screws rather than rivets, making them fully serviceable. You can remove individual connectors for repair or replacement without damaging the wall plate. This screw-mount design is a significant advantage over cheaper plates that use permanent rivets.

How many microphones can I connect to this single wall plate?

This plate provides four XLR male inputs, so you can connect up to four microphones, direct boxes, or other balanced audio sources simultaneously. This makes it ideal for choir areas, conference tables, or studio tracking rooms where multiple inputs are needed in one location.

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

XLR male connectors (like this plate) receive inputs from microphones and other sources with XLR female outputs. XLR female wall plates send outputs to amplifiers and mixers. This SA-PLATE38 is designed for input applications where you're bringing audio signals into your system.

Is stainless steel construction worth the extra cost over plastic plates?

Stainless steel provides superior durability and maintains its appearance in high-use environments. Plastic plates can crack from mounting stress or discolor over time, especially in venues with stage lighting. The stainless steel construction also provides better electromagnetic shielding for your audio signals.
