Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this connector compatible with any female XLR cable?
Yes, the XLR3MDL follows the industry standard of 3 pins, so it is fully compatible with any microphone or balanced signal cable with a standard female XLR connector.
-
Do I need special tools to install it?
You will need a soldering iron to attach the wires to the rear terminals and standard screws (usually M3 or rivets) to attach the connector to the panel or chassis.
-
Does the nickel-plated finish conduct electricity?
