- Heavy-Duty Signal Termination: The Kentech SX026 is a premium solder-type 3-pin female XLR inline cable connector engineered for assembling or repairing balanced audio cables, microphone lines, and studio interconnects.
- Rugged Zinc Die-Cast Shell: Encased in a high-strength metal housing designed to withstand intense mechanical pressure, frequent plugging cycles, and the physical demands of live touring environments.
- Flexible Black Strain Relief Tail: Features a ribbed, black synthetic rubber boot (tail) that prevents sharp cable bending at the exit point, shielding internal solder connections from strain and fatigue.
- Secure Push-Latch Mechanism: Integrated with a spring-loaded metal locking latch that clicks firmly into place when connected to male XLR sockets, preventing accidental signal disconnects during live tracking.
- High-Conductivity Contact Points: Equipped with silver- or nickel-plated female terminal sockets that minimize electrical contact resistance and maintain clean, transparent audio transmission over extended periods.
Features
- Easy-Solder Wire Wells: Built with oversized, solid solder cups inside the plastic core insertion block, making it easy for technicians to cleanly attach balanced core wires.
- Internal Chuck-Type Chuck Clamp: Incorporates a plastic internal strain-relief insert that firmly grabs the outer cable jacket when the back boot is screwed on, preventing wire pull-outs.
- Universal Cable Compatibility: Designed to accept a wide variety of standard round microphone and balanced line cables up to 6mm or 7mm in diameter.
- Low Noise Shielding: The metal outer casing grounds effortlessly to the ground tab when assembled, reducing external RF interference and electromagnetic hum.
- Clean Industrial Aesthetics: The classic polished metal shell combined with the black rubber boot creates a professional look that complements existing pro-audio stage gear.
