Wirepath WP-XLR-M3P Male 3-pin Xlr Connector

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-XLR-M3P is a male 3-pin XLR connector used for balanced audio signal connections in professional and commercial audio, AV integration, and low-voltage systems work. The 3-pin XLR format is the industry standard for carrying balanced mono audio signals, providing noise rejection over longer cable runs. This connector is a field-termination component, meaning it is installed at the end of a cable run by a technician to complete a balanced line connection between audio equipment, mixers, amplifiers, microphones, or signal processors.

The WP-XLR-M3P is suited for new installation and service work in commercial AV systems, conference rooms, performance venues, houses of worship, and structured wiring applications. Low-voltage installers and AV integration technicians use this connector when building custom cable assemblies or re-terminating damaged ends. The male configuration plugs into female XLR receptacles on equipment panels, wall plates, and inline couplers.

Key Features

• Standard 3-pin XLR male configuration for balanced mono audio connections
• Field-terminatable design for custom cable assembly and repair work
• Compatible with the universal XLR format used across professional audio equipment
• Sold individually, one connector per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a field-termination replacement or new-installation XLR connector compatible with standard 3-pin female XLR receptacles found on professional audio equipment, wall plates, and panel connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage AV technicians following applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. The cable jacket and individual conductors must be stripped and prepared before soldering or clamping the three pins. Ensure the connector body is fully seated and the strain relief is secured to prevent mechanical stress on the solder joints. Power down any connected audio equipment before terminating or connecting signal cables.
