PROEL XLR3FDL - Female XLR Panel Connector with Clip and Aluminum Body
The PROEL XLR3FDL represents excellence in professional connectivity, designed specifically for system integrators, audio engineers, and technicians who cannot afford any signal chain failures. This 3-pole female XLR chassis connector stands out for its robust construction and reliability in demanding environments, from high-end recording studios to international tour stages.
Constructed with a durable aluminum body and finished in a sleek nickel-plated color, this connector not only offers a clean, professional aesthetic but also ensures superior mechanical durability and excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Its standard panel design facilitates installation in racks, stage boxes, and wall plates, making it an essential component for any serious audio infrastructure.
Connection security is a priority for the XLR3FDL. It incorporates a high-precision latching mechanism that secures the male connector once inserted, preventing accidental disconnections caused by pulling or vibration during live use. The rear terminals are designed for clean and solid soldering , with solder cups to facilitate tinning and ensure optimal signal transfer free of unwanted noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the connector include mounting screws?
Chassis connectors are generally supplied without screws, as the type of screw (M3, rivet, etc.) depends on the thickness and material of the panel where it will be installed.
Is it compatible with XLR connectors from other brands?
Yes, the PROEL XLR3FDL complies with the 3-pin XLR industry standard, so it is fully compatible with male connectors from any professional brand (Neutrik, Switchcraft, Amphenol, etc.).
What difficulty does the welding process present?
The soldering cups are designed to be accessible. With a fine-tipped soldering iron and good-quality solder, installation is straightforward even for technicians with intermediate experience.
