Cracking the "XLR connector CODE" (A4M? D6F? Huh???)
* The first letter is the TYPE of XLR connector: A=line cord, B=bulkhead connector, D=panel mount (see photos below).
* The number is the number of pins for the number of individual wires within your cable: 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
* Next letter is M or F (male or female).
* You may sometimes see other designations in the "code". They're used for connectors made of special materials, etc., for particular purposes. For 95% of users, the standard Satin Nickel cases fill the bill nicely without getting too pricey.
* You can safely go to our Shopping Cart (green button) for a photo of each type of XLR connector we carry. Use your BACK button to return to this page.

How to do it instructions:
Installing XLR connectors on your wire is easy enough for any do-it-yourselfer. Tools you'll need: small soldering iron, some electrical solder, and a small flat-blade screwdriver.
1 - Slip the metal housing and the clear plastic shield onto the wire before any soldering.
2 - Solder your wire onto the connector terminals as appropriate.
3 - Check your work. Make sure there are no stray wire strands that could make contact with a neighboring terminal.
4 - Slide the shield and housing into place and tighten the three screws (the notch inside the housing assures that parts align properly).

NOTE: The screw that holds the actual connector (the piece that you solder wires to) uses a "reverse-thread" screw. To disassemble, turn that screw DOWN (IN) below the level of the metal case. When assembling, turn that screw UP to hold it firmly in place
