Streamline your audio interface and protect your equipment internal connections with the 6.3mm Mono & XLR Combo Chassis Socket. This specialized hybrid connector is designed to provide a secure and stable dual-link, effectively allowing for both standard 1/4" (6.3mm) mono jacks and professional 3-pin XLR plugs to be utilized within a single footprint on your device panel.

This socket is easily distinguished by its integrated dual-input design, a standard industry solution for saving space on busy mixing consoles, amplifiers, and active speaker backplates. Commonly utilized for musical instruments, microphones, and balanced line-level signals, this chassis-mounted socket allows you to maximize connectivity options without cluttering your hardware layout.

Key Performance Features:

• ✅ Dual-Purpose Hybrid Port: Accepts both standard 6.3mm (1/4") mono phone plugs and standard 3-pin XLR male connectors.

• ✅ Secure Locking Mechanism: Features a "PUSH" release tab on the XLR input to ensure cables remain firmly connected during high-vibration stage use.

• ✅ Space-Saving Chassis Mount: Designed for panel installation with integrated screw holes for a permanent, "wiggle-free" professional finish.

• ✅ High-Conductivity Gold-Plated Pins: Precision-engineered solder pins on the rear ensure stable, noise-free signal transmission for professional audio quality.

• ✅ Durable Thermoplastic Housing: Rugged black impact-resistant exterior provides excellent insulation and long-term reliability in demanding studio or live environments.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

1. ⚡ Can I use both inputs at the exact same time?

   • No. While the socket has two physical openings, they share the same internal signal path; it is designed to offer one flexible input option at a time.

2. 🛡️ Is soldering required for installation?

   • Yes. This is a chassis-mount component intended for professional assembly; you will need to solder your internal wiring to the pins on the rear of the unit.

3. 🔌 Does the 6.3mm jack support Stereo (TRS) signals?

   • This specific model is configured for Mono 6.3mm signals. For stereo applications, please ensure your wiring and equipment are compatible with the pin configuration on the rear.
