Professional panel-mount mini XLR connectors for rack systems, flight cases, and custom installations where compact 5-pin connections are essential. These SAPT22 connectors handle DMX lighting control, phantom power applications, and specialized audio gear integration.

The 5-pin mini XLR design provides the same functionality as standard XLR in a space-saving form factor. Panel-mount configuration creates secure, flush connections through equipment racks, DJ controllers, lighting consoles, and custom-built interfaces.

Built with high-quality metal contacts and durable housing that maintains reliable connections through repeated use. The compact mini profile fits tight spaces where standard XLR won't work, while the 5-pin configuration supports applications requiring additional conductors beyond basic audio signals.

Essential for lighting technicians building DMX control panels, audio engineers creating custom rack interfaces, and mobile DJs who need secure panel connections in flight cases. Perfect for churches installing permanent sound systems with built-in connection panels, and venues requiring clean, professional cable management.

Panel-mount design requires drilling a mounting hole in your equipment case or rack panel. Connects via standard mini XLR cables (sold separately). Each 2-pack includes two male panel connectors with mounting hardware.

Seismic Audio backs these connectors with a one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade components at a practical price point for installers and performers who need reliable connections without the premium markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What applications use 5-pin mini XLR connectors?

DMX lighting control is the most common application, connecting lighting consoles to fixtures and controllers. They're also used for phantom power applications, certain microphone systems, and specialized audio gear that requires more than the standard 3-pin configuration. The compact size makes them ideal for portable equipment and tight installations.

Do these work with standard XLR cables?

No, these require mini XLR cables specifically. Standard XLR plugs are too large for mini XLR jacks. You'll need 5-pin mini XLR cables to connect these panel connectors to your equipment. Mini XLR cables are readily available but sold separately from these panel connectors.

How do I install panel-mount connectors in my rack case?

You'll need to drill a mounting hole in your panel or case wall - check the connector specifications for the exact hole diameter required. The connector threads through from the front, and you secure it with the included mounting nut from the back. Ensure your panel thickness is compatible with the connector's threading depth.

Are these suitable for permanent church installations?

Yes, panel-mount connectors work well for permanent installations where you want clean, professional connections built into walls or equipment racks. They provide a more polished appearance than cable pass-throughs and create secure connections that won't accidentally disconnect during services or events.

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

Male panel connectors (like these SAPT22) have protruding pins and accept female cable ends. Female panel connectors have receptacle sockets and accept male cable ends. Your choice depends on whether your cables terminate in male or female plugs - the panel connector needs to be the opposite gender to create a proper connection.
