REAN 5 Pole XLR Plug, IP65, Black, Tin-Plated Contacts

The REAN 5 Pole XLR Plug is a robust and weatherproof connector engineered for professional audio and lighting applications. Constructed with a durable black housing, it achieves an IP65 rating, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it the ideal choice for outdoor events, touring rigs, and installations where equipment is exposed to the elements.

Equipped with five tin-plated contacts, this plug offers reliable, low-resistance connections for both balanced audio signals and DMX512 lighting control protocols. The tin plating resists corrosion, maintaining signal integrity over time and repeated use. The secure, positive-locking mechanism of the XLR design prevents accidental disconnection, a critical feature in live performance environments.

Its compact design, with a modest footprint, allows for high-density patching in flight cases and rack panels without sacrificing durability. The plug is built to withstand the physical demands of touring, from constant plugging and unplugging to being stepped on or caught in cable runs.

Key Applications

• Professional Audio: For connecting microphones, line-level signals, and loudspeakers in balanced configurations to minimise noise.
• Stage Lighting: The standard connector for DMX512 control cables, enabling precise communication between lighting desks and fixtures.
• Outdoor & Touring: Its IP65 rating provides essential protection for connections in rain, humidity, and dusty festival environments.
• Fixed Installations: Suitable for permanent installs in theatres, houses of worship, and conference venues where reliability is paramount.

This connector represents a fusion of electrical reliability and mechanical resilience, delivering a professional-grade solution for any scenario demanding a secure, five-pole signal path.
