Over time, the metal connections of 3 pin XLR plugs and jacks are exposed to dirt, dust, moisture and other contaminants.  In addition, these metal connections will also oxidize over time.  This accumulation of oxidation and contaminants can cause loss of signal, noise and poor audio. 

Regular cleaning of the male and female connections of 3 pin XLR connectors will assure your equipment delivers the best signal and sound quality.  The AMERICAN RECORDER XLR Jack and Plug Tool has a specially designed nylon brush and cylinder pin pad sized for exact fit and maximum contact with metal surfaces of XLR connectors.  The knurled aluminum handle delivers a sure grip and control when in use.  

This tool also Includes a tube of DeoxIT® D-Series contact/connector treatment, which removes oxides and sulfides that form on metal surfaces, restoring the contact's integrity and leaves a thin microscopic layer that protects the metal.  Special additives improve conductivity and prevent oxides from re-attaching, keeping them in suspension and allowing them to be easily dispersed by the cleaning tool
