Product Information

Full details

The Electrovision 3-pin right-angled XLR line plug is designed for audio engineers, event technicians, and musicians who require reliable signal connectivity in restricted spaces. Its primary benefit is the low-profile, angled orientation that prevents cable strain and clutter in tight equipment racks or cramped stage setups. Users should note that this connector requires soldering skills for installation, making it less suitable for those who prefer tool-free or pre-terminated cable solutions.

FAQs

Is this plug compatible with all standard 3-pin XLR sockets?

Yes, this connector follows industry-standard 3-pin XLR dimensions and is compatible with all standard XLR male/female connectors.

Does this plug lock into place?

As a line plug, it relies on the locking mechanism of the mating chassis connector to keep the connection secure.

Can I use this for DMX lighting cables?

Yes, the 3-pin XLR configuration is standard for many DMX lighting setups and this connector is suitable for such applications.

What is the maximum cable diameter this connector can accommodate?

The connector is designed to fit standard microphone and signal cables. Most standard audio cables up to 6mm in diameter fit well within the strain relief boot.

Is the housing electrically grounded?

The nickel-coloured metal housing provides shielding and is typically connected to the ground (Pin 1) internally depending on your specific wiring preference.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent audio or crackling noise

Check the solder points for a 'cold' joint or potential shorts; inspect the cable for internal wire fatigue near the strain relief.

Connector feels loose when plugged in

Inspect the socket you are plugging into for worn locking mechanisms; ensure the XLR plug housing is fully tightened.

Difficult to solder

Ensure your soldering iron is at the appropriate temperature (usually 350-370 degrees Celsius) and use high-quality leaded or lead-free solder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact right-angled form factor reduces cable protrusion
  • Sturdy metal housing ensures long-term durability
  • Integrated strain relief extends the life of the cable
  • Professional-grade contact reliability for audio signals

Cons

  • Requires professional soldering equipment and skill
  • Non-locking mechanism compared to some chassis-mount variants
  • Silver nickel finish may show fingerprints or scuffs over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this plug, slide the housing and the strain relief boot onto the cable before soldering. Ensure that the pins are wired according to standard XLR protocol (Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Hot/Positive, Pin 3: Cold/Negative). Once soldered, screw the metal housing tightly to ensure proper grounding. Periodically check that the housing remains tight, as vibrations in live performance settings can loosen threaded components. Keep the contact pins clean and free of oxidation using high-quality contact cleaner if you notice intermittent signal dropouts.
