Product description
This panel-mount XLR connector brings a compact and professional interface to mixers, amplifiers and stage equipment, combining a metal housing with solder-type terminals for secure cable management. It is suitable for installing microphone and DMX signal points on racks, wall plates or instrument panels and gives a neat, black-finish endpoint for balanced audio lines.
Key Points
The connector features a zinc alloy body with nickel-plated contacts aimed at improving corrosion resistance and contact reliability. According to the manufacturer, the internal conductors are pure copper to support clearer signal transfer and reduced data loss, which helps maintain audio fidelity across short runs. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with panel cut-outs, and the design includes an M22×1 nut so the socket can be fixed from the front after cutting a 22.5 mm hole in the panel. Consider that the mounting plate should be no thicker than 8 mm to allow proper securing.

The Best of This Model
The anodised black finish with sand-blasted texture gives this connector a unified look with modern audio racks and stage gear, making cable runs appear tidier. It is a simple way to convert through-panel wiring into standard XLR male connections without needing a chassis-mounted jack or additional housing. For studio racks where multiple connectors are mounted side by side, the compact footprint helps preserve space while keeping connections accessible.
Usage Recommendations
When fitting the socket, mark the hole position carefully and use the appropriate drill or punch to achieve a clean φ22.5 mm opening. Solder the cable leads to the terminals with good technique to avoid cold joints, and test continuity before final assembly. This adapter may not be the best option if you need tool-free quick-disconnects or watertight connectors because it is intended for indoor use and tidy panel installations. For DMX lighting runs, keep cable lengths within recommended distances and use balanced, shielded cable to reduce interference and preserve signal integrity.
⚙️ For straightforward panel upgrades, these sockets help maintain a professional front panel appearance while providing reliable connections for microphones and line-level signals. 🎛️ The two-pack format is convenient for serial installations or to keep a spare on hand.
