The SA-PLATE17 is built for permanent audio installations where you need four balanced microphone or line outputs in a single, professional wall mount. Studios, churches, conference rooms, and live venues rely on this 2-gang XLR male wall plate to create clean, permanent connections for microphone splits, monitor feeds, or multi-zone audio distribution.

This gold-finished stainless steel plate houses four XLR male connectors in a standard 2-gang electrical box footprint, eliminating cable clutter while providing reliable balanced audio connections. The robust stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains signal integrity in demanding environments.

Each XLR connector mounts with screws rather than rivets, making field service and connector replacement straightforward when needed. The 4⅝" × 4½" plate fits standard electrical boxes and includes mounting hardware for immediate installation. Gold plating on both the plate finish and connector contacts ensures long-term reliability and professional appearance.

Install this wall plate in recording studios for microphone tie lines, houses of worship for pulpit and altar microphone feeds, or conference facilities for presentation audio distribution. It's equally effective in live venues for permanent monitor sends or broadcast facilities for microphone routing.

The plate connects directly to your existing XLR infrastructure — simply run balanced cables from your mixing console, audio interface, or distribution amplifier to the rear terminals. All mounting screws come included for standard electrical box installation.

Seismic Audio backs the SA-PLATE17 with a one-year warranty and ships ready to install, delivering professional-grade connectivity at a practical price point.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

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

XLR male wall plates like the SA-PLATE17 have pins that connect to XLR female cables, making them ideal for outputs from mixing consoles, audio interfaces, or amplifiers. Female wall plates accept XLR male cables and work better for microphone inputs or device connections.

Can I install this in a standard electrical box?

Yes, the SA-PLATE17 fits any standard 2-gang electrical box with the included mounting screws. The 4⅝" × 4½" dimensions match standard electrical box spacing, and you can use existing low-voltage or audio boxes in walls or equipment racks.

What cables do I need to connect this wall plate?

You'll need XLR female-to-male cables to connect from your audio source to the wall plate's rear terminals, then XLR female cables from the front connectors to your destination equipment. Standard balanced audio cables work with any microphone, mixing console, or audio interface.

Is this suitable for live sound reinforcement systems?

Absolutely. Install the SA-PLATE17 for permanent monitor feeds in venues up to 500 people, microphone splits for recording, or distribution to multiple zones. The screw-mounted connectors handle frequent plugging and unplugging better than cheaper riveted designs.

Why choose stainless steel over plastic wall plates?

Stainless steel construction provides superior durability in high-traffic installations, resists impact damage, and maintains professional appearance over time. The gold finish adds corrosion resistance and matches high-end studio aesthetics while ensuring reliable signal transfer.
