BST XLR-MHQ - Metal Male XLR Connector

BST XLR-MHQ – Metal male XLR connector for cable

The BST XLR-MHQ connector is a professional 3-pin male XLR cable-mount adapter, constructed entirely of metal to ensure mechanical strength and durability in harsh environments. It follows the IEC standard for XLR3M, with balanced pins (pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold) and a twist-lock mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection. The cable-mount design allows conductors and braided shielding to be soldered inside the body, accommodating cables with an outer diameter of 4–8 mm and ensuring a reliable connection to microphones, consoles, and stage cabinets.
