Ordering by Pin Count: 3-Pin, 4-Pin, 5-Pin, 6-Pin and 7-Pin
The LBSXLR family runs from 3-pin to 7-pin. The pin count is not cosmetic — it tells the buyer which cable the connector belongs on:
| Pin count | Where buyers use it |
|---|---|
| 3-pin XLR | Balanced microphone and line-level audio; also fitted on many budget lighting fixtures |
| 4-pin XLR | Intercom and headset systems |
| 5-pin XLR | DMX512 lighting control — the connector the DMX512 standard specifies — and stereo balanced audio |
| 6-pin and 7-pin XLR | Dual-channel intercom, headsets and broadcast multi-channel use |
What the table cannot tell you is which cable has to sit behind the connector: a 5-pin XLR belongs on 120 Ω DMX512 cable, a 3-pin on low-capacitance balanced microphone cable. That construction difference, and the point where substituting one for the other stops working, is set out in DMX cable vs microphone cable; the pin-by-pin detail for every count is in XLR pin counts explained. For bulk and OEM enquiries, state the pin count, the conductor size the connector will terminate and the colour-ring scheme.
Bulk XLR Supply for Distributors and Cable Assemblers
The LBSXLR 3-Pin to 7-Pin Professional XLR Connector is available in bulk quantities for distributors, cable assemblers and OEM projects. Standard 3-pin XLR connectors are compatible with finished XLR male-to-female microphone patch cables and standard TRS connectors, which makes the connector family a practical single-source choice for balanced microphone and pro-audio assemblies.
For OEM / ODM orders, LBS reviews connector plating, colour rings, packaging and branding according to the confirmed product and project quantity. When ordering bulk XLR connectors, specify the pin count (3-pin to 7-pin), the cable conductor size you will terminate, and the target quantity.
