The Kelly SHU™ PLUGZ™: XLR to 3.5mm TRS Balanced Converter
The Tight-Access XLR Connection Solution
The Kelly SHU PLUGZ™ helps you route XLR audio through openings as small as 1/4 inch in diameter. Whether you are passing through wall panels, isolation cabinets, or closed drum shells, our balanced 3.5mm TRS adapter system provides a reliable, solderless connection that meets the rigors of the road.
The connection engages securely with “That Satisfying CLICK,” ensuring your audio signal stays in place during performance. This system is a must-have for studio work and touring workboxes to get you out of tight spots easily.

Versatile Routing
To mount the Male XLR connector to the outside of a drum shell, simply use the rubberized bracket provided. Wrap it around the connector and pass your existing tuning lug through the bracket holes. The bracket tightens as you tension the drum, creating a secure, professional external port without drilling.
