XLR panel build ( How to secure the connection with shrink tube)
Here I show you a cool way of securing your soldered XLR cable to the XLR female connector without having the weight of the cable cause any crimping or damage to the connection by using shrink tubing. and of corse this method would work for any connection you are making be it XLR, TRS..etc

    I found a supplier that offers 1U D Series punched panels with a 2 inch flange with zip tie holes for cable strain relief. There's surprisingly few out there. Google for all or some of the following "PROCRAFT TSP1U-12X-BK 1U Aluminum Rack Panel w/ Tie-Down Shelf 12 "D" punches" Shrink tubing is a great idea if you don't have a cable management tie-down flange, but my panel will be sitting in a small open frame rack on the floor near where the musicians will be in my mixing / tracking combo room, so I need a bit more positive strain relief in addition.

    why did you not connect pin 1 (ground) to the connector shell tag??

      @@jaspermelly google the item Markerbar Panel Mount Connector Strain Relief Bracket. It goes on the backside of the panel and allows you to zip tie the cable down to it.

      Every xlr connecter was labeled with 1, 2, or 3. 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative

      there's a 4th tab on his connector panel that he didn't touch in this video. that is for "chassis ground".. you can solder a small lead from that tab (there's a hole you can feed a small wire through) to the ground pin on the XLR jack.--that's what it's meant for.. but in doing that, heat shrinking the ground right to the solder point wouldn't work. you'd have to leave some of the metal exposed in order to ground the chassis..

  • @christopherphillips4481
    @christopherphillips4481 4 года назад

    Also, to make the panel, did you just use a 1U blank panel and rivet the XLR connectors in or were they already punched for XLR connections?

    • @admaudioproductions4972
      @admaudioproductions4972 4 года назад

      No the one i’m using here was pre cut, just some generic panel I took a gamble on with amazon, worked out well though.

    Great Video. Thank you. May you please tell me the size/shrink rate of the tubing over the actual connections and also the one that goes over all three smaller tubing. I have just started repairing alot of microphone wall jacks and using heat shrink in this way would not only look great, it will make sure these new repairs last a long long time.

    • @admaudioproductions4972
      @admaudioproductions4972 4 года назад

      What I ended up doing was just buying a pack that had 12 sizes and just gaged what would fit buy just sizing up different pieces until I found one that was appropriate for the two respectively. Not honestly sure about the shrink rate I’m just eye balling it by looking to make sure it’s snug around the cable. But yeah this stuff is great for multiple applications and looks clean ( of corse my work isn’t the cleanest lol )

    You’re small torch is a good choice for applying the shrink tubing but if you do a lot of electrical connections in you’re audio work you might want to pickup a heat gun from Harbor Freight. I have one and it works great for shrink tubing. Nice video.

    • @CoroaEntertainment

      Just head to the $ store and pick up a 6" hand held BBQ lighter. It's far easier to use and way cheaper than a heat gun. The flex neck version is great for heating/reaching the backside of the shrink tubing.
