Hi Klas!
XLR connector
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The XLR connector is an electrical connector design. XLR plugs and
sockets are used mostly in professional audio and video electronics
cabling applications, for microphones and line level signals. Home audio
and video electronics normally use RCA connectors for line
levelpreamplifier. Phone plugs are also used for microphones in home and
computer applications.
In reference to its original manufacturer, James H. Cannon, founder of
Cannon Electric in Los Angeles, California (now part of ITT
Corporation), the connector is colloquially known as a cannon plug or
cannon connector. Originally the "Cannon X" series, subsequent versions
added a Latch ("Cannon XL") and then a Rubber compound surrounding the
contacts, which led to the abbreviation XLR. Many companies now make
XLRs. The initials "XLR" have nothing to do with the pinout of the
connector. XLR connectors can have other numbers of pins besides three.
