Protect your critical audio inputs from the elements with the Pro-Audio Series. This 3-Pin XLR Female Chassis Socket comes equipped with an integrated Spring-Loaded Flip Cover (or Rubber Cap). It is the definitive solution for outdoor stages, industrial intercoms, and mobile broadcast units where dust, moisture, and debris are constant threats to signal clarity.
IP-Rated Protection: When closed, the cover shields the internal silver-plated contacts from rain, sand, and oxidation, extending the life of your equipment.
Automatic Sealing: Features a spring-loaded hinge that snaps the cover shut the moment the cable is unplugged, ensuring the port is never left exposed.
Standard D-Series Footprint: Despite the added cover, the flange maintains the universal 24mm "D-size" mounting standard, fitting perfectly into existing panels.
Secure Latching Mechanism: Includes the standard XLR push-release latch to prevent accidental cable disconnects during high-intensity performances. Where to Use It:
Outdoor Venues: Install on stage boxes or connection panels for music festivals and open-air stadiums.
Marine & Coastal Audio: Protect against salt-air corrosion on boat decks or seaside boardwalk PA systems.
Industrial Intercoms: Ideal for "dirty" environments like workshops, garages, or construction sites where sawdust and metal shavings are present.
OB Vans & Mobile Rigs: Secure the external patch panels of broadcast vehicles against road grime and weather.
Internal Gasket: Many models include a rear rubber gasket to create a tight seal between the connector flange and the mounting panel.
High-Visibility Cover: Often available in black or silver to match your panel, or with a textured surface for easy opening even while wearing gloves.
Silver-Plated Contacts: Ensures the lowest possible contact resistance for balanced, low-noise audio signals.
Rugged Hinge Design: Built to withstand thousands of open-close cycles without losing spring tension.
Product Type: XLR Female Chassis Socket with Protective Cover
Included: 1x XLR Female Socket, 1x Integrated Cover
1. Is it fully "Waterproof"? It is generally weather-resistant or splash-proof (suitable for rain). It is not designed for submersion. For extreme underwater use, specialized "IP67" threaded connectors are required.
2. Does the cover get in the way of the cable? No. The hinge is designed to swing open 180 degrees, allowing standard XLR cable boots to fit snugly without interference.
3. Can I buy just the cover to add to my existing sockets? While some snap-on covers exist, the Integrated Version is much more durable because the hinge is physically part of the metal chassis, preventing it from falling off.
