Ibiza Light & Sound XLR-M - Professional 3-pin male XLR plug

Ibiza Light & Sound XLR-M – Professional 3-pin male XLR plug

The Ibiza Light & Sound XLR-M plug is a high-quality 3-pin male connector that complies with IEC 61076-2-103, designed for balanced audio and DMX512 signals. Its die-cast zinc body with a nickel-plated finish guarantees robustness and durability in live and studio environments, while the latch-type lock prevents accidental disconnections during use. It includes a chuck-type cable retention system that holds sections up to 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) and external diameters of 3.5–8 mm, facilitating assembly. The silver-plated brass contacts (2 µm Ag) offer low electrical resistance (≤ 3 mΩ) and high signal integrity. Perfect for microphones, mixing consoles, power stages, and DMX equipment.
