DMX XLR Male Connector - 3 Pin

XLR (External Line Return) Connector is synonymous of high-quality passage for sizeable electrical current to provide a robust connection for most audio devices. The most common tools are speakers, amplifiers, microphones, mixing boards, and other recording equipment with an easy assemble construction to provide excellent cable protection. XLR Connectors come either as male or female genders and you can pair both with wires attached to contacts on the Connector.



For secure, durable connections, this XLR is the industry standard recognisable balanced audio signal level applications, which is an essential part of delivering line-level signal with no loss of quality over long cable distances.

DMX refers to the lighting protocol DMX512, which is a type of digital communication. The DMX standard was created in 1986 using existing XLR connectors to adapt to products already on the market without any proprietary connection. It also introduced a 5-pin format with the intention of expanding its functions with the additional pins, however that is very infrequent so nearly every 5-pin DMX cable only has 3 soldered connection points with 2 unused pins. This makes 5-to-3 pin and 3-to-5 pin DMX conversions direct and simple depending on the equipment you’re using.
