Conector XLR ShiverPeaks BS55002-R – 3 polos, caixa metálica vermelha

ShiverPeaks BS55002-R is a 3‑pin XLR connector housed in a red metal shell designed for professional audio cabling. It provides a balanced audio connection suitable for microphones, mixers and stage equipment, and can be used as either a plug or a socket in microphone cables, patch panels and live-sound rigs. The metal housing and three-pin configuration ensure secure mating and continuity of shielded audio signals in installations where durability and reliable grounding are required.

Advantages

The metal housing offers mechanical strength and improved electromagnetic shielding compared with plastic alternatives. The three-pin, balanced design supports low-noise audio transmission for microphone and line-level signals. A colour-coded red finish enables quick visual identification in multichannel setups. Robust contacts and a standard XLR form factor make this connector compatible with common professional audio cables and equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Microphone cables for live performance and studio recording
• Patch panels and stage box wiring
• Interconnects between mixers, DI boxes and signal processors
• Repairing or assembling balanced audio leads in live-sound rigs

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3‑pin balanced XLR
• Housing material: metal (coloured red)
• Contact configuration: three conductive pins suitable for balanced audio
• Mounting style: inline plug or socket for cable termination
• Intended signal: microphone and line-level balanced audio

How to use

Terminate a suitable microphone or audio cable by preparing the conductor cores and shield, then solder or crimp each conductor to the matching contact: pin 1 to ground (shield), pin 2 to positive (hot), and pin 3 to negative (cold). Assemble the metal housing around the connector and secure any cable clamp or strain relief to prevent movement of the conductors. When mating with equipment, align the keyed shell and push until the latch engages to ensure a stable connection.

Recommendations

Use the red metal XLR connector for clear visual channel identification in multi-cable installations, and ensure correct wiring of pin 1/2/3 to maintain balanced signal integrity. Inspect contacts periodically and tighten housing fasteners to avoid intermittent connections in high-vibration or touring environments.
