MX XLR 3-Pin MIC Connector, Female, Panel Mounting (MX-1890)

The 3-pin XLR connector is the long-standing standard for balanced microphone and professional audio connections, chosen specifically because its balanced signal path resists the electrical noise that unbalanced connectors like a standard 3.5mm jack can pick up over longer cable runs. This panel-mount female version lets a builder add a proper XLR input socket to a custom audio interface box, mixer panel, or recording equipment enclosure, giving the finished project a professional-grade audio connection point rather than relying on a consumer-level jack.
