Frequently Asked Questions

What hole size do these XLR connectors require?

These connectors fit the standard "D" series hole pattern used by most professional audio equipment manufacturers. This is the most common mounting pattern for XLR connectors in mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and rack-mounted gear, ensuring compatibility with existing installations.

Can I use these to add inputs to my mixing board?

Yes, these are ideal for expanding mixing console capabilities or replacing damaged connectors. You'll need basic soldering skills to wire the connector pins properly, and ensure your board has available internal routing for the additional inputs you're creating.

How do these compare to plastic XLR connectors?

The nickel plating provides superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to plastic alternatives. Metal construction handles repeated cable connections better and maintains tighter tolerances over time, making these the preferred choice for permanent installations and high-use applications.

What cables work with these female connectors?

These accept any standard XLR male cable, including microphone cables, balanced line cables, and AES/EBU digital audio cables. The female connector design makes this the input side of your signal chain, perfect for mic inputs or line inputs on custom-built equipment.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Installation requires a soldering iron, solder, and basic hand tools. The connectors mount from the front of the panel with the solder terminals accessible from the rear. Having a multimeter for continuity testing after installation is recommended but not required.
