Step up to pro-tier connectivity with our 5-Pin XLR Male Connector. While 3-pin connectors are the norm for basic audio, the 5-pin configuration is the strict requirement for Professional DMX-512 lighting systems and high-end broadcast applications. Designed to transmit clean data and multi-channel audio without crosstalk, this connector is built to survive the rigors of the touring world.
DMX-512 Lighting Rigs: The standard output for professional lighting consoles and moving head fixtures.
Broadcast Intercoms: Frequently used in "Comms" systems for headsets and talkback stations.
Stereo & Measurement Mics: Ideal for specialized microphones that require extra pins for power or dual-balanced signals.
Industrial Control: Used in specialized medical and industrial equipment requiring secure, multi-pin connections.
Rugged Zinc Alloy Shell: Die-cast metal housing provides heavy-duty protection and superior EMI/RFI shielding.
Specialized 5-Pin Layout: Ensures precise signal separation, preventing data flicker in complex lighting setups.
Professional Strain Relief: Features a chuck-type internal clamp that grips the cable securely, protecting your solder joints from tension.
High-Temperature Insulator: Durable internal plastic resists melting during soldering, keeping pins perfectly aligned.
Silver-Plated Copper Contacts: Provides maximum conductivity for high-speed data packets and high-fidelity audio.
Tour-Grade Durability: Built to handle thousands of mating cycles—perfect for rental inventories and mobile setups.
Easy DIY Maintenance: Solder buckets are designed for precision wiring, allowing you to build or repair cables in minutes.
Type: XLR Male (Plug)
Pin Count: 5-Pin
Termination: Solder-on Buckets
Is this the same size as a 3-pin XLR?
Yes. The outer shell size is the same, so it will not take up more space on your panel. However, the pin configuration is different, so it will only plug into a 5-pin female socket.
Can I use this for 3-pin DMX with an adapter?
Yes. Many professionals use this connector to make 5-pin to 3-pin "turnaround" or adapter cables to bridge different types of lighting gear.
What wire should I use for 5-pin DMX?
For the best results, use 110-ohm shielded twisted pair cable specifically designed for DMX data to ensure your lights don't flicker over long distances.
