XLR Connector ShiverPeaks BS55022-G green — 3-pin male audio connector

The ShiverPeaks BS55022-G green 3-pin male XLR connector is a compact audio connector designed for professional signal connections. It mates with standard female XLR sockets and provides a reliable pin-based contact for balanced audio lines. Its green finish enables colour-coded wiring and panel identification, making it suitable for installations where clear visual organisation is required. The connector is intended for use with microphones, mixers, speakers and studio equipment that accept 3-pin XLR terminations.

Advantages

The connector offers a standard 3-pin configuration compatible with common balanced audio devices and stage equipment. Its metal housing ensures stable mechanical support and consistent mating with female XLR sockets. The green finish supports quick visual identification in patch bays and multi-channel installations. The male pin layout provides straightforward pin-based signal transfer and secure electrical contact when properly mounted or cable-terminated.

Suitable for

• Microphone and instrument connections requiring 3-pin XLR male terminations
• Studio patch bays and mixer channel wiring where colour coding is helpful
• Panel mounting and cable assembly in live sound and broadcast installations
• Repair or replacement of worn XLR male connectors on cables or fixtures

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3-pin male XLR
• Finish: green coloured housing
• Contact arrangement: three-pin balanced audio configuration
• Suitable mating: standard female XLR sockets
• Typical applications: microphone, mixer, speaker and studio signal lines

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket and individual conductor insulation to expose the three conductors and shield. Securely solder or crimp each conductor to the corresponding male pin according to the system wiring convention (typically pin 1: shield/ground, pin 2: hot/positive, pin 3: cold/negative). Assemble the connector housing and tighten any retaining screws or strain relief components to prevent cable movement. Verify correct polarity and continuity with a multimeter before final installation into the patch bay, panel or equipment.

Recommendations

For dependable audio performance, use appropriate soldering or crimping tools and maintain correct pin wiring. Use the green finish for organised channel identification, and ensure strain relief is properly engaged to reduce mechanical stress on the contacts during frequent connections and disconnections.
