Audio-adapter Omnitronic 3-polig XLR-bus naar 5-polig XLR-stekker model 30226577

Omnitronic adapter 30226577 converts a 3‑pin XLR female connector to a 5‑pin XLR male connector. Designed for audio signal routing where channel expansion or pin compatibility is required, this compact adapter allows connection between devices with differing XLR pin counts. It is intended for use in live sound, studio, and fixed installation environments to adapt microphones, mixing consoles, or other professional audio equipment while preserving signal integrity.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward mechanical and electrical solution to connect a standard 3‑pin XLR cable to a 5‑pin XLR input or cable. Its robust metal housing offers mechanical protection and shielding against electromagnetic interference. The connector contacts are arranged to ensure reliable contact and low contact resistance, minimizing signal loss. The compact form factor makes it easy to use in patch bays, stage boxes, and tight rack spaces.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the 3‑pin XLR male end of the existing cable into the 3‑pin XLR female side of the adapter. Then plug the 5‑pin XLR male connector of the adapter into the corresponding 5‑pin XLR input on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and latched where applicable. Verify signal routing and test the audio path at low volume before full operation. When removing, depress any latch mechanisms and pull straight to avoid stressing contacts or cables.

Recommendations

Use the adapter only for passive signal routing and pin compatibility; it does not perform signal conversion beyond mechanical pin mapping. For balanced microphone signals, maintain proper cable shielding and avoid running audio cables parallel to power cables. Inspect contacts periodically for corrosion and replace the adapter if mechanical wear or poor contact appears.
