Audio adapter ShiverPeaks XLR (female) to 6.3 mm stereo jack 55050

The ShiverPeaks XLR (female) to 6.3 mm stereo jack adapter 55050 converts a three-pin XLR connection into a 6.3 mm TRS stereo jack. It is intended to connect microphones, mixers or audio interfaces with XLR outputs to equipment that accepts a 6.3 mm stereo input. The adapter facilitates routing of balanced or unbalanced signals and is suitable for live sound patching, studio monitoring and instrument-to-line connections where a quick mechanical conversion between XLR and TRS is required.

Advantages

This adapter provides a compact, single-piece solution for interfacing XLR-equipped devices with 6.3 mm TRS jacks while preserving the physical pinout required for balanced or unbalanced wiring. Its simple mechanical design allows fast connection and disconnection without tools. The adapter is compatible with standard XLR female connectors and standard 6.3 mm stereo jacks, enabling flexible use across a range of audio equipment and setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting XLR microphone outputs to instruments, amplifiers or mixers with 6.3 mm TRS inputs
• Temporary patching in live sound and rehearsal environments
• Studio monitoring and routing between consoles and outboard gear
• Instrument and line-level connections where a mechanical XLR-to-TRS conversion is needed

Key specifications

• Connector A: XLR female, 3-pin
• Connector B: 6.3 mm (1/4") stereo TRS jack
• Signal compatibility: balanced or unbalanced audio signals
• Housing type: compact inline adapter body
• Intended use: audio signal conversion between XLR and TRS formats

How to use

Insert the XLR female end onto the corresponding XLR male output of the microphone, mixer or interface, ensuring the pins align and the connector seats securely. Plug the 6.3 mm stereo jack into the input of the receiving device such as an amplifier, mixer channel or instrument input. Verify signal routing and, if necessary, check whether the connected equipment requires balanced or unbalanced wiring and adjust gain or input sensitivity on connected devices accordingly.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for temporary or semi-permanent patching; for long cable runs or permanent installations, use purpose-built balanced XLR-to-TRS cables or appropriately wired connectors to maintain shielding and optimal signal integrity.
