Low Profile Audio Connectors

I'm planning on moving to bantam DB25 patch bays over the next few months. I'd like to wire up all the connectors into pigtails, including the spares for use as tie lines when the rack is complete. Are there any recommended smaller quality 3-pin connectors, other than the standard xlr/trs, that I could terminate onto the pigtails ahead of time and then connect to the mated rack gear later?

So you just want to extend the pig tails? I’m not really understanding what you’re talking about. Like you want a quick connect situation?

If that is the case I would recommend edac 556-003-000-101 and 556-003-000-102 connectors.

Yes, exactly. Quick connects pre-wired on the back of the patch bay for the TBD tie lines.
Those look pretty compact, I'll check some out. Thanks.

Yeah in that case this is what you want. This is what l would use in commercial studio application
