The Comprehensive Cables XLRJ-3N Premium 3 Pin XLR Jack is a high-quality, professional-grade panel-mount connector designed for durable and reliable audio connections in demanding studio and live sound environments. Crafted with a robust, nickel-plated die-cast metal housing, this female 3-pin XLR jack is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and installation into audio equipment chassis or patch bays. Its design focuses on long-term performance, featuring corrosion-resistant, gold-plated contacts that ensure optimal signal integrity and minimal noise transmission, critical for maintaining high-fidelity audio signals over balanced lines. The secure, rugged construction and panel-mount design make it a staple for fixed installations, offering a secure connection point that resists accidental disconnection when paired with a compatible male XLR plug.

The jack's three-pin configuration adheres to the industry standard for balanced audio signals, providing superior noise rejection capabilities crucial in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. This balanced design utilizes one pin for ground (shield), one for the positive signal (hot), and one for the negative signal (cold), a configuration that effectively cancels out induced noise, thereby allowing for clean audio transmission over extended cable runs. The XLRJ-3N is widely compatible with a vast array of professional audio gear, including microphones, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and speaker systems. Its integration ensures a reliable and standardized connection point that meets international standards (IEC 61076-2-103), making it a versatile component in any professional audio setup.

The reliability of the Comprehensive Cables XLRJ-3N is further enhanced by its construction and features that ensure a stable physical and electrical connection. The chassis-mount design allows for permanent installation into equipment panels, ensuring a stable foundation for connections. When a male XLR plug is inserted, a latching mechanism engages, preventing accidental pulls from interrupting the signal flow, a vital feature during live performances or busy recording sessions. This focus on durability and secure connectivity minimizes maintenance needs and maximizes uptime for audio systems. The connector is also RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and safety standards for electronic components, making it a responsible choice for modern AV installations.
