The AV:Link Steel Wallplate with Twin XLR Sockets is a practical installed audio connection plate designed to provide two professional XLR connection points in a clean, wall-mounted format. Built into a standard 1-gang brushed steel faceplate, it is ideal for AV installers, electricians, audio contractors and facilities teams who need a robust and tidy way to connect XLR audio equipment between different locations without relying on loose trailing cables.
This wallplate is suitable for domestic, commercial and educational applications, making it a versatile option for a wide range of audio installations. Typical uses include classrooms, school halls, lecture rooms, meeting rooms, conference spaces, churches, performance areas, studios, rehearsal rooms, hospitality venues, community centres and installed PA systems. It can be used wherever microphone or balanced audio connections need to be presented neatly at a wall position, stage area, lectern, AV rack location or equipment point.
The twin XLR socket layout gives users two audio connection points on a single faceplate. This can be useful for microphone inputs, line-level audio feeds, installed tie lines, wall-mounted audio access points or connection points between a room and a central AV rack. In education and presentation environments, the plate can provide a simple way to connect wired microphones or audio sources to an amplifier, mixer, DSP or wider sound system. In performance or worship spaces, it can support cleaner stage or room wiring by moving XLR connectivity away from loose floor cables and onto a fixed wallplate.
The brushed steel finish provides a more durable and professional appearance than many plastic wallplate alternatives. This makes it well suited to commercial and public-facing spaces where the installation needs to look permanent, tidy and resilient. The standard 1-gang format allows the wallplate to fit a standard single mains back box, helping simplify specification and installation in many UK building environments. Fixing screws are supplied, allowing the plate to be installed neatly into a suitable back box or compatible mounting location.
At the rear, the wallplate uses solder terminal connections. This allows installers to terminate suitable audio cabling directly to the plate, creating a secure and permanent connection. Soldered rear termination can be useful in fixed installation work where reliability and a clean internal cable path are important. As with any balanced audio installation, appropriate cable type, correct pin wiring and good termination practice should be followed to maintain signal quality and reduce the risk of hum, interference or connection issues.
In a school hall or drama space, this wallplate could be installed at the front of the room to provide microphone inputs back to a mixer or amplifier position. In a meeting room, it could be used as a fixed audio input point for lectern microphones, presentation audio or local source connections. In a church or community venue, it could form part of a simple installed tie-line system between a stage position and control area. For AV racks, it can also be used to create a neat patch point where XLR connections need to be brought onto a wall or cabinet-facing position.
The wallplate dimensions are 86 x 86 x 27mm, with a product weight of 82g. These compact dimensions make it suitable for standard single gang applications, although back box depth and cable bend space should still be considered during installation. This is particularly important when using thicker balanced audio cable or when multiple cables are entering the same back box.
For AV installers and contractors looking for a straightforward professional audio connection point, the AV:Link Steel Wallplate with Twin XLR Sockets provides a clean and durable solution. With two XLR sockets, solder terminal rear connections, a brushed steel finish and standard 1-gang sizing, it is well suited to permanent audio installations where reliable connectivity and a tidy finish are required.
