City Theatrical XLR5M Turnaround | XLT3M

Built for lighting technicians, electricians, and production teams who run into connector mismatches between fixtures, cable runs, and test gear. City Theatrical develops its lighting tools with theatrical and studio professionals in mind, including the people responsible for planning, installing, operating, and maintaining a rig. A turnaround adapter fits that workflow by letting you change the connection type at the point of need instead of replacing a cable or reterminating a run.

The family covers two output connector choices, so you can match the adapter to the gear at the far end of the connection. That makes it a sensible spare for road cases, a quick fix during focus and load-in, and a standing item in a shop's cable stock for rental and installed work. Choosing a dedicated adapter from a lighting specialist keeps the connection purpose-built for the job rather than improvised from generic parts.

For venues, rental houses, and touring crews, keeping both output versions on hand covers the common situations where a male XLR source meets different downstream hardware. Check the output connector on your fixture or cable before ordering so the adapter matches the equipment it will connect to.
