Q: 1. Will the Lav mic came with the "Sennheiser G3" work with the "Rode VXLR PRO" when connecting to a mixer-recorder such as the MixPre ? Does it accept the screw lock from the "G3's lav" TRS connector? Thank you for the answers.

A: Yes, the Rode VXLR PRO adapter can be used with a Sennheiser lavalier microphone to enable connection to an XLR mic input on a mixer/recorder such as a Sound Devices MixPre model. The VXLR PRO has a threaded female 3.5mm TRS connector on one side to attach the mic and a male XLR connector on the other end allows the mic to be plugged into an XLR input. Additionally, the adapter converts 48V phantom power into plug-in power so you can safely provide power to the mic.

Q: 2. I need to connect a Rode Go ll to a mixer board. What do I need cables or adapters

A: You can use a standard cable with 3.5mm TRS male and XLR male connectors such as the Kopul Stereo Right-Angle 1/8" Male Mini-Jack to XLR Male Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KORSMXM015) to connect the Rode Wireless GO II Receiver to the input on a mixer. Another option is to use an XLR adapter with the 3.5mm TRS cable that is included with the Wireless GO II System. For the XLR adapter, you can use the Rode VXLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter (B&H # ROVXLR).

Q: 3. If I am wanting to connect a Sennheiser Lavalier 3.5mm directly to my Zoom F3, should I get the VXLR or VXLR+?

A: Since the Sennheiser lavalier mic requires a small amount of voltage, you can either use the RODE VXLR Pro Transformer-Balanced 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom-Power Converter or the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP), which both have a built-in phantom power converter that allows you to use phantom power from an XLR mic input and converts it to the proper amount of plug-in power that the mic requires. The RODE VXLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter (B&H # ROVXLR) does not work in the same manner and will only converts the plug for the microphone from 3.5mm to XLR, but it will not convert phantom power to plug-in power.

Q: 4. Am I correct, when assuming that one could use a y-splitter and 2 of these to “symmetrize” the Sound Devices Mixpre 3/6 unbalanced trs outputs?

A: No, the VXLR Pro is not intended for use with a line level audio signal. It is intended for use with a microphone that has a 3.5mm TRS connector that requires plug-in power and enables connection to an XLR mic input that supplies phantom power and it will convert phantom power to plug-in power. It would certainly help to have more information about what type of device or input you will be connecting the line output from the MixPre-3 or 6 to. Since you are sending line level audio from a single 3.5mm TRS output and want to split it to two balanced XLR male connections, it sounds like what you need is a direct box like the Kopul SDI-PPC Stereo Multimedia Passive Direct Box (B&H # KOSDIPPC). This direct box has a stereo 3.5mm input and will allow you to split the output from the MixPre-3 or 6 to left and right balanced XLR outputs.

Q: 6. Can I use 3.5mm male mono connections? Reason is I am connecting two radios and the output speakers are mono

A: Yes this will work fine for that purpose.

Q: 7. will this let me connect stereo mini headphones to optical audio output. If not, which device will let me do that?

A: The Sescom SES-DAC1 Audio Converter has TOSLink Optical S/PDIF input and RCA coaxial S/PDIF input with analog stereo RCA output. As is, you can't connect headphones, but it should work if you use a dual RCA male to 3.5mm TRS female Y-adapter like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini (3.5mm) Female to 2 RCA Male Y-Cable (B&H # HOYCSMF2RM).

Q: 8. Can I use a Sanken COS-11D with a Zoom FX3 using this adapter?

A: Yes, a Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Microphone that has a 3.5mm TRS connector can be used with the Zoom F3 Portable Field Recorder when connected with an adapter like the RODE VXLR Pro Transformer-Balanced 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom-Power Converter or the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP). You will need to turn on phantom power on F3 to power the mic.

Q: 9. what cables do i need connect to pc's?

Q: 10. Will it work with my Rode Rodelink filmmaker kit and my Zoom H6?
