XLR
— in audio equipment, three-pin XLR connectors are most often used. Theoretically, they can have different purposes, but in fact, when they say "XLR input", they usually mean an analogue audio input — either linear or microphone / instrumental (in the latter case, this connector can be combined with a 6.35 mm Jack — see the relevant paragraph). This connector is popular in professional audio equipment, and there are two main reasons for that. Firstly, XLR provides a reliable and tight connection; locks are often provided in the sockets to secure the plugs. Secondly, the connection through this connector is carried out by the so-called. in a balanced way, on three wires instead of two. The peculiarity of such signal transmission is that external interference is filtered, in fact, by the wire itself, which allows you to transmit a high-quality audio signal even with long cable lengths.
