Right Angle XLR Connectors
Right Angle XLR Connectors
Hi
Can anyone recommend a good right angled XLR male to XLR female adaptor, and where to buy (in the UK)?
I don't want just the connector that I then have to wire onto the cable, it's an actual adaptor I'm after to get easier access for a standard mic cable to the back of my interface. Both connectors joined by a short cable would do it, like a patch cable.
There's plenty on Amazon but I don't recognise any of the brand names, and I don't want to risk buying some cheap junk that'll degrade the signal quality between mic and interface.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Right Angle XLR Connectors
Here's a couple of options from Ambient and Remote Audio, both made for professional use and would likely be available from a location audio equipment supplier
https://ambient.de/en/product/xlr-connectors/
and https://remoteaudio.com/low-profile-xlrs/
Colour coded too!

Sorry I didn't read your message fully. I see the connectors are available from Audio Department https://audiodept.co.uk/ but these aren't male to female just single sex

Goodmorning, maybe this one. Procab are good cables.

Studiospares have Neutrik ones in various lengths. I expect Canford do too.

Re: Right Angle XLR Connectors
Rather than dangly leads, I'd suggest fitting an XLR patchbay to the rack, and wire the rear panel connectors to that:

Makes it much easier and a lot more realiable...

Re: Right Angle XLR Connectors
But Mick will need to solder to the back of that panel, and from his first post, he doesn't seem keen on soldering.
However, I have the same Studiospares panel in my rack for connection to my rack gear and it's great.
But Mick may not have an actual rack.

Reliably fallible.
Re: Right Angle XLR Connectors
Just offering ideas for alternative (and better) solutions... some extra work may be involved for a better outcome... I'm sure Mick can voice his own opinions on the suggestion.

Re: Right Angle XLR Connectors
Thanks for your input everyone.
My application is based around having permanent connections in my home studio. It's just to get over a problem where the vertical metal stansion of my desk is too close to two inputs at the rear of the interface so I can't actually connect to them, hence the need for right angled male. All other inputs are accessible so, whilst I did think of the patch bay idea, I decided it was overspec for what I need, given that it's permanent connection I'm after and keeping all cables at the rear and out of sight too.
I think the Procab ones suggested by Janneman might be the solution. Bax music are UK so no problem there. A bit pricey, but I only need two of them
Thanks again everyone

Sorry Mick: According to the Bax website those cables are discontinued.

But I've noticed they still do do a 1' long one (it's a 10' one that's discontinued), which would suffice to extend an existing cable.
