There may be some confusion to exactly what an XLR plug looks like. The XLR plug is generally used in the broadcast industry. It can also be found on high quality microphones. It has three prongs and usually snaps into place. You have to push down on a little button in order to unlock it. The plug is very big in size. Personally I don't know of a sound card that has one unless there is a smaller version of the XLR plug for sound card use.
