XLR Angle Connector ShiverPeaks BS55006 — 3-pin right-angle microphone/cable connector, black

ShiverPeaks BS55006 is a 3-pin right-angle XLR connector in black, made for terminating microphone and balanced audio cables. The compact right-angle housing positions the cable close to equipment surfaces, reduces protrusion and helps prevent excessive bending at the connection point. The connector is designed to be used where a durable male or female XLR interface is required in constrained spaces such as stages, racks and portable audio devices.

Advantages

The angled design lowers the profile of the cable exit and reduces mechanical stress on cable conductors and solder joints. A robust metal housing and secure locking mechanism ensure reliable electrical contact and repeated mating cycles. The black finish provides a discreet appearance that integrates with common stage and studio equipment. Construction suitable for balanced audio signals supports clear microphone and line-level transmission.

Suitable for

• Stage and live sound setups where low-profile connections are needed
• Studio installations with limited rack or patchbay depth
• Portable recording rigs and field microphones
• PA systems and audio appliances requiring durable XLR terminations

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3-pin XLR, right-angle configuration
• Contact gender: suitable for male or female XLR terminations depending on version
• Finish: black housing for low-visibility integration
• Signal compatibility: balanced audio for microphone and line-level signals
• Body material: metal housing for mechanical durability
• Cable strain relief: integrated design to reduce bending stress at the joint

How to use

Prepare the microphone or audio cable by stripping the outer jacket and exposing the shield and inner conductors according to the cable manufacturer’s guidance. Solder or crimp the inner conductors to the corresponding XLR pins following standard wiring (pin 1 = ground/shield, pin 2 = hot, pin 3 = cold) and assemble the connector housing to secure the termination. Insert the completed connector into the matching XLR socket until the latch engages to ensure reliable contact. To disconnect, depress the release latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid twisting the cable.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, avoid sharp bends near the right-angle exit and use additional cable support or clips when routing along stage edges or racks. Regularly inspect solder joints or crimps and the locking mechanism for wear in high-frequency use. Select the appropriate male or female version to match your equipment and confirm wiring polarity to maintain balanced audio performance.
