PROEL XLR3FV - 3-Pole Female XLR Aerial Connector with Nickel-Plated Housing
The PROEL XLR3FV is a professional audio connector designed for maximum reliability in critical connections. Manufactured to Proel's rigorous Italian engineering standards, this female XLR (Canon) connector is distinguished by its robustness and ability to maintain signal integrity in demanding environments, from live stages to recording studios. Its metal construction ensures not only superior durability under heavy use but also effective shielding against electromagnetic interference.
This aerial model is designed for cable mounting, making it easy to create custom microphone extensions or repair existing cabling. Its nickel-plated finish provides a professional, corrosion-resistant look, while its internal design ensures the cable stays securely in place, preventing accidental disconnections or damage from pulling. It's the ideal choice for sound engineers, installers, and musicians looking for long-lasting components without sacrificing audio quality.
Main features
-
Robust metal construction: Body made of die-cast alloy with a bright nickel-plated finish that protects against shocks and wear.
-
Secure clamping system: Incorporates an internal nylon clamp that firmly grips the cable to prevent stress on the welding points.
-
Cable protection: It has a flexible rear terminal (PVC spring) that reduces the bending radius of the cable, preventing breakage at the connector outlet.
-
Professional standard: 3-pole configuration compatible with the vast majority of balanced audio equipment on the market.
-
Easy assembly: Intuitive and detachable design that facilitates the welding and assembly process.
Benefits for the user
Using quality connectors like the XLR3FV provides invaluable peace of mind while working. Its nickel-plated housing acts as a Faraday cage, minimizing parasitic noise and hum caused by external interference—crucial for long cable runs. Furthermore, its strain relief system extends the life of your cables, saving you money on frequent replacements. The locking mechanism ensures the connector won't come loose from the microphone or mixing console mid-performance.
Use cases
-
Microphone cable manufacturing: Ideal for making custom cables for vocalists or instruments.
-
Roadside repairs: Perfect to keep in your toolbox and instantly replace damaged connectors.
-
Fixed installations: Recommended for patch bay cabling or permanent connections in auditoriums where reliability is required.
-
DMX lighting systems: Suitable for standard 3-pin DMX control cables.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector require soldering?
Yes, the wires must be soldered to the internal terminals of the connector to ensure a perfect electrical connection.
-
Is it compatible with any microphone?
It is compatible with any microphone or equipment that uses a standard 3-pin XLR (balanced) connection.
-
What material is the connector body made of?
The outer body is entirely metallic (aluminum/zinc alloy) with a nickel finish.
-
Does it work for stereo cables?
The connector has 3 poles. It is generally used for balanced mono signals, although technically it could carry an unbalanced stereo signal if the equipment allows it; its usual use is with balanced mono lines.
