3-Pin XLR Male Connector

This Cmple connector provides a compact 3-pin XLR male plug for microphone and audio cable termination. It accepts cable up to 18AWG and suits 6mm outside diameter microphone cable. Nickel-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer. The four-piece design assembles quickly without screws.

Audio installers needing screwless termination

Installers who want the shortest XLR plug with tool-free assembly will appreciate the all-metal insert and quick four-piece build. Users requiring a female XLR socket or a pre-assembled cable with moulded strain relief should look at a different connector type. This part is a raw plug only.

Handles 18AWG wire and 6mm cable

The connector comfortably terminates standard microphone cable up to 6mm outer diameter using conductors up to 18AWG. It runs out of headroom with thicker multi-core cables or larger jacket diameters that exceed the stated cable acceptance.

Questions about this item

What cable gauge do I need to use with the 3-pin XLR male connector?

The connector accepts cables up to 18AWG, so any stranded or solid wire of 18AWG or thinner will fit the solder cups.

Will this XLR plug mate with the female XLR jack on my vintage microphone?

Yes, it follows the standard 3-pin XLR pinout, so it connects securely to any compliant female XLR receptacle on older microphones or mixers.

How can I confirm the connector is wired correctly after soldering?

Use a multimeter to check continuity between each pin and its corresponding wire, then plug it in and verify clean audio with no hum or intermittent contact.
