SIGNET XLR Microphone Outreach Plate

The SIGNET XLR Microphone Outreach Plate is a professional audio interface designed to integrate standard microphones into audio systems over long distances with exceptional clarity. It accepts balanced or unbalanced microphones via a standard 3-pin XLR connector and features an on-board microphone-to-line level converter, a high-gain pre-amplifier, and 8V phantom power, providing all the essential functions for a clean, professional audio signal.

A key advantage of this outreach plate is its fully cascadable design, allowing up to ten units to be daisy-chained from a single balanced line-level input on your main audio system. This significantly simplifies installations by overcoming the need for excessively long and cumbersome individual microphone and audio leads. Plates can be strategically located at any convenient point within a venue, connected using standard two-pair audio cable, making it ideal for most applications.

Performance and Installation

The built-in pre-amplifier, mixer, and level controls on every unit ensure optimal signal strength and quality at each remote location. Network runs of up to 100 metres are easily achievable without any degradation of sound quality, thanks to the balanced line-level transmission. The plate operates on a 12-32V DC supply and features a +6dB overload capability for handling high-level signals without distortion.

For installation, the plate is surface-mountable and designed to fit onto standard 25mm UK single-gang back boxes, offering a neat and professional finish. This makes it a versatile and reliable solution for expanding microphone coverage in theatres, conference halls, churches, and other venues where flexible audio pickup is required.
