Pro Audio Stage Recessed Floor Box with 110v Electric and 12 XLR

Our review examines the Pro Audio Stage Recessed Floor Box with 110v Electric and 12 XLR connections, a solution aimed at stage hands, venue techs and touring acts who need a tidy, durable patch point at stage level. The bottom line: this floor box removes bulky cable runs and messy snakes by offering a prewired set of color coded XLR pigtails and a robust metal housing, making it ideal for live sound setups where quick, reliable mic hookups and a low-profile footprint matter most.

Key Features

• Prewired 12 XLR Female: Twelve color coded XLR pigtails let techs plug regular mic cables straight into the box without soldering or crimping, saving setup time.
• 110v Electric Pass-Through: Built-in 110v access keeps power and audio exits consolidated at one floor location for stage equipment convenience.
• 14ga Steel Construction: Heavy gauge steel housing resists damage from foot traffic and stage gear to protect connectors and wiring over repeated shows.
• Hinged Lid With Cable Grooves: A hinged cover with cable access grooves lets crews leave cables routed while keeping the opening protected and low profile during performance.
• Standard Insert Size: The removable metal plate insert measures 8.25 in x 6 in, fitting a common cutout and simplifying replacement or customization.
• Simple Installation: A labeled metal plate mounted with screws and a defined hole cutout dimension streamlines installation into platforms or stages.

Who It's For

This floor box is best for live sound engineers, house techs and venue owners who need a neat, permanent mic patch point on stage. The prewired XLR pigtails are especially helpful for crews that rotate volunteers or want to minimize skilled soldering tasks, and the sturdy 14ga steel housing suits busy stages with heavy foot traffic.

It is less appropriate for users who need custom jack types beyond XLR or require recessed boxes smaller than the listed cutout, and those who need integrated snake multicore runs should consider alternate solutions; this product is focused on simple XLR patching and power access rather than full multicore distribution.
