SquarePlug SPXA-MBK Low-Profile 90° Heavy-Duty 3-Pin Male XLR Connector
SquarePlug SPXA-MBK Low-Profile 90° (Right Angle) Heavy-Duty 3-Pin Male XLR Connector — Black
The SquarePlug SPXA-MBK is a true heavy-duty, low-profile right-angle male XLR connector designed for professional audio builds where space, durability, and flexibility all matter. It brings SquarePlug’s proven rugged construction into a compact 90° XLR format that works just as well on stage as it does in studio, broadcast, or install environments.
What makes the SPXA series stand out is its proprietary cable clamping mechanism, which provides real strain relief across an unusually wide range of cable diameters. From slim balanced lines to thicker mic cables, this connector keeps stress off the solder joints while maintaining a compact footprint.
The angled exit can be oriented in eight different radial positions (every 45°), giving you precise control over cable routing in tight racks, pedalboard I/O panels, portable IEM rigs, and stage boxes. It’s currently the only low-profile angled XLR connector designed to handle such a broad range of professional audio applications.
This is a connector we recommend at StompDocs when you need a compact XLR that doesn’t compromise on strength or serviceability.
