Where do you need male to female connector ?
If one cable has male and other has female connectors, you 
can just plug them after each other. No special adapters needed.

If ypu happen to need male to male or female to female adaoter, then
any good pro audio shop should be able to sell or order you such
adapters. I live in Finland I I can buy them at Yleiselektroniikka
(www.yeoy.fi) shop or order them from RS-components 
(http://www.rs-components.com/) or or from Farnell 
(http://www.farnell.co.uk/).

Or if you can use a soldering iron just get pair of XLR connectors
and 10 cm of wire and make your own adapters.

This kind of adapter does not effect the sound quality at all.
