Is this an Input or an Output?
In standard pro-audio convention, Female XLR sockets (like this one) are almost always used for Inputs (e.g., the input of a mixer, a preamp, or a stage wall plate).
Does it include the mounting screws?
These are typically sold as the connector unit only. You will usually need M3 machine screws or pop-rivets to secure it to your panel or chassis.
Can I use this for 3-pin DMX lighting?
Yes. This socket is fully compatible with 3-pin DMX data signals, making it ideal for custom DMX controllers or lighting distribution boxes.
