![]() ![]() Clear the work area: Make sure that the area you are soldering around is clear and free of any debris (it is always recommended to solder in a clean and “clutter free” area).Ģ. How to Solder a Female XLR Video Clip – Click Here!ġ. This soldering example will show you how to properly solder a “Female” XLR connector (a microphone cable consists of a “Male XLR” and a “Female XLR” connector) – only the “Female” XLR will be covered in this example (see above picture). ![]() *Safety 1 st – Always use the following procedures any time you solder…Ī) Do not attempt to solder or use this information if you are a minor (get an adult to supervise you before and during any of the soldering sections).ī) Always use Safety Glasses when soldering, protect your eyes and face.Ĭ) Do not “flick” a hot iron around, use a wet sponge to clean the tip of the iron.ĭ) Use a fan (see picture) to remove the soldering smoke from your face (do not breathe in soldering smoke – solder usually contains “lead”).įor this example I will demonstrate how to solder a Female “XLR” connector (one half of a standard microphone cable). Safety must be made a priority whenever you solder – AVCSS Guitar World cannot be held responsible or liable for any injuries incurred from any soldering method or technique shown in this booklet and DVD. Just like anything else, the more you do it, the more you practice – the better off you will be at it… ![]() If you don’t know how to solder correctly, you could get a “Cold” solder joint (which looks like a good connection, but it’s not), the solder can drip and cause a short, you can burn the wires inside the cable jacket, etc. Anyone can solder, but not everyone can solder correctly. But the first thing I will stress when it comes to Soldering is to always use “Caution” and follow all “Safety” guidelines and precautions… Always!Įven though soldering looks easy, it really isn’t. Other pin counts can be used for a variety of reasons, higher pin counts can allow for a greater number of signals being transferred through the cable for applications such as controlling multi-function lighting system.This menu page will show you how to solder an XLR audio connector below. This is the industry standard and can be found in almost all audio and lighting applications. ![]() XLR connectors typically have built-in push-button locking, ensuring a secure connection which may be vital in stage audio setups, or wherever the possibility of accidental disconnection is high.įor secure, durable and quality audio connections, XLR connectors are the industry standard.Īvailable in a range of pin counts, the most common XLR format is a standard 3 pin. Female XLR connectors feature a matching layout of sockets with a stepped body that mates with the male XLR barrel sleeve to make a stable connection. The male XLR connector features pins surrounded by a barrel sleeve to protect the small pin layout when not in use. Both genders can be paired with wires which are attached to contacts on the connector. XLR connectors are available in male or female genders. The robust circular connector shape allows for reliable connection time and again. This electrical connector is popular in professional audio applications for many reasons, but mainly because of their suitability in delivering balanced microphone and line-level signals with no loss of quality over long cable distances. XLR Connectors are most commonly used in audio applications such as in studios and stage environments, along with applications in lighting and controlling machines such as fog machines. ![]()
