SquarePlug SPXA-FBK Low-Profile 90° Heavy-Duty 3-Pin Female XLR Connector
SquarePlug SPXA-FBK Low-Profile 90° Heavy-Duty 3-Pin Female XLR Connector — Black
The SquarePlug SPXA-FBK is a compact, professional-grade right-angle female XLR connector built for demanding audio applications where space, durability, and clean cable routing are critical. It delivers the same heavy-duty construction found across the SquarePlug XLR line, packaged in a low-profile 90° design that’s significantly shorter than traditional XLR connectors.
Designed for real-world use on stage, in studios, racks, broadcast rigs, and portable systems, the SPXA-FBK features SquarePlug’s proprietary cable clamping system. This chuck-style strain relief provides secure mechanical support for cables ranging from 2.5 mm to 6.5 mm OD, keeping solder joints stress-free even in high-movement environments.
A key advantage of the SPXA series is its radial cable exit flexibility. The connector can be assembled with the cable exiting in eight different directions (every 45°), allowing precise routing in tight pedalboard I/O panels, stage boxes, portable IEM rigs, and rack-mounted interfaces.
This is the female counterpart to the SPXA-MBK and pairs perfectly when you need a compact, rugged XLR solution without sacrificing serviceability.
