PROEL XLR3FVPRO - 3-Pin Female XLR Aerial Connector with Nickel-Plated Housing
The Proel XLR3FVPRO sets a new standard in connectivity for professional audio systems. Meticulously designed for sound engineers, musicians, and technicians who cannot afford signal failures, this 3-pole female aerial connector combines robust construction with a sleek and functional aesthetic. Part of Proel's acclaimed professional accessory series, this component is essential for assembling and repairing high-fidelity cabling.
Its exterior features a die-cast aluminum housing with a silver nickel finish, which not only provides a clean and professional appearance but also acts as an effective shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Unlike conventional plastic connectors, the XLR3FVPRO's metal body withstands the demands of daily use on tours, stages, and in recording studios, resisting bumps and accidental drops without compromising the integrity of the internal connection.
Inside, Proel's Italian engineering shines with a superior cable management system. It incorporates an internal nylon clamping system (clamp or chuck type) that securely grips the cable when the rear cover is screwed on, preventing external tugs from affecting the solder points. This mechanism is complemented by a flexible PVC terminal spring or sleeve, designed to absorb mechanical stress at the cable exit point, drastically reducing the risk of breakage from excessive bending. It's the ultimate choice for those seeking durability and pure, noise-free signal transmission.

Benefits for the user
Using the Proel XLR3FVPRO guarantees complete peace of mind during live performances or recording sessions. Its main benefit lies in its long-term reliability ; thanks to its double cable protection system (internal clamp + external sleeve), frequent repairs are minimized. Furthermore, its metal housing ensures perfect ground continuity, resulting in clean audio, free of hum and ground noise, essential for microphones and balanced line signals.
Use cases
- Custom manufacturing of high-quality microphone cables for studio and live use.
- Repair and replacement of damaged connectors in multipair audio hoses (snakes).
- Connection of active speakers, studio monitors and power amplifiers.
- Fixed installations in auditoriums, theaters and conference rooms where a silver and professional aesthetic is required.
- Interconnection of rack equipment, signal processors and mixing consoles.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector require soldering?
Yes, the XLR3FVPRO is a cable-mount connector that requires soldering the conductors to the internal pins to ensure a permanent and secure electrical connection.
-
Is it compatible with any microphone cable?
It is designed to accommodate most standard balanced microphone cables on the market, adapting to various diameters thanks to its flexible nylon clamp system.
-
Is the casing made of plastic or metal?
The main casing is entirely metal (nickel-plated cast aluminum), offering significantly greater durability and protection than plastic models. Only the internal retention system and rear sleeve are made of technical polymers (Nylon/PVC) for their specific function.
-
Does it work for DMX signals?
Yes, although it is an audio connector, being a 3-pin XLR it can be used to make 3-pin DMX cables, provided that the appropriate 110 ohm digital cable is used.
