Radio Design Labs DS-XLR3F Xlr 3-pin Female Jack

Product Description

The RADIO DESIGN LABS DS-XLR3F is an XLR 3-pin female jack mounted on a D-style plate, designed for permanent installation in structured wiring panels, rack enclosures, wall plates, and stage boxes. It provides a secure, chassis-mounted termination point for balanced audio signal runs. The female XLR receptacle accepts a standard 3-pin male XLR connector, maintaining a balanced low-impedance connection suited to professional audio routing. Audio technicians, systems integrators, and electricians working on commercial A/V installations or performance venues are the primary installers for this type of component.

This D-plate jack is used wherever a fixed XLR female port is needed at a panel or enclosure cutout. Typical applications include stage audio snakes, broadcast facility patch bays, house-of-worship sound systems, conference room A/V infrastructure, and recording studio wall plates. The D-style mounting format allows it to drop into standard D-series faceplate cutouts and compatible rack panel blanks. It is sold as a single unit.
