Kelly SHU PLUGZ™: XLR to 3.5mm TRS Balanced Converter

Description

The Kelly SHU PLUGZ™ system is a Female XLR to Female 3.5mm trs reducer and Male XLR balanced audio cable that plugs into the reducer. The converter cable provides a solderless and simple solution for routing any XLR audio cable through an opening that is 1/4 inch in diameter or larger. Perhaps it’s an isolation cabinet, or an XLR needs to pass around a cover or grill on an amp cabinet. Maybe it’s to route an XLR cable under a wall or partition that you can’t pass a standard XLR connector under.  Or, maybe it’s a closed drum shell with an internal microphone supported by The Kelly SHU™ System that you need a internal microphone cable to make an audio connection with. Whatever the case may be, routing an XLR cable through a tight-access opening is now easier thanks to Kelly SHU PLUGZ™. This simple XLR to 3.5 mm converter system is great to have around the studio or in your touring work box to get you out of that tight spot! Kelly SHU PLUGZ™ also work on the male end of ANY XLR cable to change it to a 3.5mm shielded audio cable, then back again. There are tons of uses for this handy xlr to 3.5mm trs balanced audio cable adapter; if a female XLR plugs into it, the the PLUGZ will work for you.

The Kelly SHU PLUGZ™ Audio Connection System includes:

• 1 Male XLR to 3.5mm Male TRS Balanced Audio Cable (choose length).
• 1 Female XLR to 3.5 mm Female TRS Converter.
• 1 Rubberized Male XLR Connector Bracket.
• Complete Installation Instructions.
• 30-day Money Back Guarantee.

BEFORE ORDERING! Be sure of the length of cable that you need. For example, most 20 to 24 inch kick drums will require the 42-inch cable, especially if the air vent is located on the top of the drum shell.  The 24-inch cable will just barely get your XLR signal out of the center of a 14 inch drum shell and around the side to the tension rod where the XLR bracket will be located.  The 16-inch cables are produced more in mind for a standard audio application. It is better to have too much cable than it be too short. You can take a loop of the extra cable inside the drum shell or along the cable path and secure it using one of the provided cable ties, however it is impossible to add one inch to the length.
Always order longer rather than shorter. 

Below is a brief video demonstrating how you can use The Kelly SHU PLUGZ™ to conveniently connect an internal drum microphone to your audio system. The 3.5 mm TRS Balanced Audio Cable simply plugs into the reducer and passes out of the drum to convert back to a standard 3-pin XLR connection. One Cable, One Plug, One and Done. It’s SO EASY!

FOR USE WITH CLOSED DRUM SHELLS HAVING INTERNAL TOM DRUM MICROPHONES:
To locate the Male XLR connector to the outside of the drum shell, first determine which tuning lug you would like the connector to be positioned at. Remove the chosen tension rod from the drum. Wrap the rubberized bracket around the Male XLR as shown here and pass the tension rod through the holes in the bracket, then replace and tension rod back into the tuning lug. The bracket will tighten down around the connector as you tension the drum to the desired pitch. NOTE: This bracket is designed for use with standard triple-flange hoops and/or hoop claws that have a Non-recessed tension rod design.
