Product Information

Full details

The Electrovision 4 Pin XLR Male Chassis Plug is designed for professional audio technicians and DIY AV enthusiasts who require a durable, metal-bodied connector for custom equipment racks or patch panels. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, stable signal path through reliable solder terminals, ensuring long-term connectivity for complex audio rigs. A primary caveat is that this component requires soldering skills and chassis-mounting hardware to install, making it less suitable for users looking for plug-and-play cable solutions.

FAQs

Is this a male or female plug?

This is a 4-pin XLR male chassis plug.

Does it include screws for mounting?

No, this item does not include mounting screws.

Can I use this for lighting DMX control?

While it features 4 pins, please ensure your specific equipment pinout matches before soldering.

Is this connector shielded?

Yes, the metal body provides basic shielding properties when mounted to a conductive or grounded panel.

What is the diameter of the hole needed for mounting?

You should check the specific panel cutout requirements for standard XLR chassis mounts, typically around 24mm.

Can I solder this with a standard soldering iron?

Yes, standard electronic solder and a temperature-controlled iron are sufficient for these terminals.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent audio signal

Check your solder joints for cold-soldering; ensure wires are firmly attached to the terminals and are not touching the metallic housing.

Connector feels loose in the panel

Verify that the mounting screws are tightened to the correct torque and check if a backing washer or locking nut is required for your specific panel thickness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable metal body provides long-lasting reliability
  • Standard 4-pin configuration ensures broad compatibility
  • Compact dimensions ideal for dense rack panels
  • Solder terminals create a permanent, vibration-resistant connection

Cons

  • Requires professional soldering skills for installation
  • Not intended for field-replaceable cable splicing
  • Mounting hardware (screws) not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard soldering iron, rosin-core solder, and a drill/punch tool for chassis preparation. Ensure you follow standard pinout conventions for your specific application—typically ground, hot, and cold leads.

Compatibility: This plug is compatible with standard female XLR cables. Before installation, ensure your chassis panel thickness does not exceed the threading depth of the plug.

Care: To maintain performance, avoid exposing the solder joints to extreme heat or physical tension. If the outer metallic finish becomes dirty, wipe it with a lint-free cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove dust or conductive residue.
