Description
The XLR connector is a type of electrical connector primarily found on professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. The connectors are circular in design and have between three and seven pins. They are most commonly associated with balanced audio interconnection, including AES3 digital audio, but are also used for lighting control, low-voltage power supplies, and other applications. XLR connectors are available from a number of manufacturers and are covered by an international standard for dimensions, IEC 61076-2-103. The XLR connector is superficially similar to the smaller DIN connector range, but not physically compatible. A smaller version, the mini XLR connector, is sometimes used on smaller equipment.

Which XLR Mic Cables would you buy?

anonymous 25 November 2004

hi All,

I've been digging around and around trying to answer this question by web researching on my own, but I'd much rather hear from you.

What mic cables do you like the most?

My equipment is an Apogee AD/DA MiniMe (two channel), a pair of RODE s NT5 condensor mics primarily for acoustic guitar, and a Studio Projects T3 large condensor mic for vocals.

XLR Patchbay?

anonymous 1 November 2004

Does anyone know of an available XLR patchbay?

I'd prefer to purchase one before resorting to building it.

I'd like to maximise my work flow and connect my pci audio interface to the patchbay, making the swapping of instruments/vocal inputs a little easier.

Any wisdom is appreciated.

Problems with a SansAmp Bass Driver DI - XLR output weak

Jeemy 19 September 2003

The subject sums it up - the XLR output is about 20% the volume of the unbalanced output. Surely a faulty unit? As a newbie, I may be missing something. I mailed Tech21, still awaiting a response.

If it is faulty the trouble is, I bought it from America, and have a demo deadline to meet. So I am not particularly keen on sending it back for replacement.

Making an XLR cable

Doublehelix 22 November 2002

The local Mars Music store is going out of business here locally, and found this a prefect opportunity to pick up some stuff at a big discount. One of the things I got was a couple of large sections of Quad mic cable. I also picked up some Neutrik gold XLR connectors (another store, unfortunately) and will be making a few DIY quad mic cables for pretty cheap.
