This faceplate is designed to fit a standard UK 85mm x 85mm electrical back box.
Yes, this socket features solder terminal connections, which require soldering for a secure and permanent connection.
While primarily designed for line-level or microphone signals, it can be used for speaker-level signals if the amplifier's output impedance is low and the current draw is within the safe limits of the socket's wiring. However, dedicated speaker terminals are usually recommended for high-power speaker outputs.
This is an XLR socket, meaning it is the female receptacle designed to accept a male XLR plug.
Typically, Pin 1 is for ground/shield, Pin 2 is for the positive signal (+), and Pin 3 is for the negative signal (-).
This XLR socket is specifically designed for audio signals. It is not suitable for video transmission.
Verify that all wires are correctly soldered to the corresponding pins (1, 2, 3) on the XLR socket and the source/destination equipment. Check for any short circuits or broken connections. Ensure the XLR cable plug is fully inserted.
Re-check solder joints for a clean and solid connection. Ensure proper shielding is connected to the ground pin (Pin 1). Inspect the XLR cable for damage.
Ensure the underlying back box is securely mounted to the wall. Tighten the screws holding the faceplate to the back box.
Setup: This XLR socket is designed for in-wall installation and requires connection via solder terminals. Ensure the power is isolated before attempting any wiring. Mount the faceplate into a standard 85mm x 85mm UK back box, then carefully solder the appropriate audio signal wires (typically Pin 1 for ground, Pin 2 for positive signal, Pin 3 for negative signal) to the corresponding terminals on the socket. Consult your audio equipment's documentation for specific wiring diagrams.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard 3-pin XLR plugs used for microphones, audio interfaces, mixers, PAs, and other pro-audio equipment. It is designed to fit standard UK electrical back boxes.
Care: Clean the stainless steel faceplate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Ensure connections remain secure and free from dust or debris.
