XLR cable connector ShiverPeaks BS55070 3-pin male to female, balanced audio connection

ShiverPeaks BS55070 is a 3‑pin XLR male-to-female connector intended for balanced audio connections. It supports conventional three‑pin wiring for microphone and line‑level signals and is built to provide secure mechanical coupling and reliable electrical contact. The connector is suitable for studio, live sound and broadcast environments where a standard XLR interconnection is required.

Advantages

The connector offers robust mechanical retention between male and female halves and consistent pin alignment to minimize contact noise. Its balanced three‑pin design reduces interference and hum in audio transmission. Constructed for repeated mating cycles, the connector maintains stable electrical continuity and predictable impedance for professional audio systems.

Suitable for

• Microphone connections in studio and live performance setups
• Line‑level balanced signal routing between audio equipment
• Broadcast signal paths requiring secure XLR interconnections
• Stage snake and patchbay connections

Key specifications

• Configuration: 3‑pin balanced audio (male to female)
• Contact arrangement: standard XLR pinout for microphone and line signals
• Connection type: detachable male-to-female XLR coupling
• Intended use: balanced analog audio transmission
• Durability: designed for repeated mating cycles and professional use

How to use

Insert the male XLR into the female counterpart until the latch clicks to ensure secure mechanical coupling. Follow standard wiring conventions when assembling or terminating cable ends: pin 1 for ground/shield, pin 2 for positive (hot) signal, and pin 3 for negative (cold) signal. When disconnecting, depress the latch release before pulling the connector apart to avoid stressing the cable or contacts. Regularly inspect contacts for corrosion and ensure strain relief is used on cable assemblies to prolong service life.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use the connector in properly assembled shielded cables and avoid exposing contacts to moisture or corrosive environments. When integrating into critical audio paths, verify wiring continuity and polarity with a cable tester before deployment.
