The Sescom SES-CAMCORD-MIC is a cable designed to facilitate the connection between XLR microphones and cameras/recorders with unbalanced 3.5mm inputs. You can use this cable, for example, to connect a dynamic handheld microphone with a DSLR camera.

The cable sports a female XLR connection at one end, and a TRS 3.5mm plug at the other. Thanks to Sescom's specially designed circuitry, audio routed to the 3.5mm input should be free of distortion, giving you a clean audio capture. The cable measures 18" in length.

Q: 6. Is this cord compatible with the iPad Mini 3? I just got it in the other day and have been running tests on my mini 3. Can get audio to the headphones but cannot get the mic to work. Thought maybe I got a bad cable but now I am thinking maybe it is not compatible at all. :/

A: Andrew, I have to apologize as we have not yet tested with the iPad mini 3. We have tested with the vast majority of Apple products with great success. Most devices from apple are utilizing the same trrs pin-out and handle signals the same way.Its possible that we need to review the product with the iPad mini 3 and test further, its also possible that you received a cable that inst working properly- which is a very rare occurrence with our QC processes. Or another possibility is how garage band is handling the signal itself. Please make sure the cable itself is seated fully in the iPad, and please reach out to us to trouble shoot on the phone. We will not be able to test compatibility until we purchase receive and bench test in our R&D lab.you can reach us at 845.246.1915 or 800-543-0909 - Ask for Sescom Tech support, and or Dan. we can walk you through a few tests that may help us determine the failure point.
