Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the RODE VXLR Pro also be used to connect an unbalanced 3.5mm mic to the Phantom-Powered XLR connector?

A: No. It would need to be a 3.5mm TRS connection microphone that requires mic plugin power to be able to work with phantom power and the Rode VXLR Pro.

Q: 2. Does B&H sell a locking make 3.5trs to non-locking 3.5trs short cable, as this will be ideal for connecting this adapter to my preferred mic and maximizing connection integrity, at least on the adapter side. Thank you.

A: No. A locking 3.5mm male TRS to a "non-locking" 3.5mm female TRS would be as special order, made to order from a specialty shop, such as Whirlwind. B&H could order for you$$.....

Q: 3. 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. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website if you would like further assistance.

Q: 4. Will this be all that is needed for a regular 3.5mm PC mic to work with an audio mixer with XLR mic input?

A: It would be helpful to know which microphone you will be using to be able to confirm exactly what is needed. If your microphone requires plug-in power to function, the Saramonic C-XLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter will not work. Instead, you can use the Saramonic C-XLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # SACXLRPLUS) which will convert the 3.5mm TRS plug to XLR and will also allow you to use phantom power (usually 48V) from the mixer to power the mic. The C-XLR+ has a built-in phantom power converter that converts phantom power to the proper amount of plug-in power that the mic requires.

Q: 5. Will this work with my Zoom H5 and Saramonic WM2100 Lav mics?

A: Yes, the Rode VXLR Pro Transformer-Balanced 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom-Power Converter can be used to make a hardwired connection between the lavalier microphones included in the Saramonic SR-WM2100 2-Person Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System and the Zoom H5 Portable Handy Recorder. The VXLR Pro will properly convert phantom power from the H5's XLR inputs down to the plug-in power voltage required by the lavaliers.

Q: 6. is this a true TRS? meaning the tip is wired to pin 2, ring is wired to ping 3 and sleeve is pin 1 ? Or is this a pre-summed TRS?

A: This cable is wired straight through. Standard TRS. Pin 2 to Tip, Pin 3 to Ring, Pin 1 - Ground/Shield.

Q: 7. 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: 8. Will this work to connect a Deity V.Lav mic to the XLR input on a Zoom H6?

A: Yes it wll.

Q: 9. To be certain I need extension cable with 1.4" male connector to Denon receiver and 1/8" female connector ro headset-correct?

A: Yes that is correct this cable is exactly how you described it. 1/8 female to 1/4 male im assuming your connecting the 1/4 inch male to the headpone output on your Denon Receiver if so this is what you need.

Q: 10. Can this adapter be used to connect a Lavignes Mic with the XLR connection directly to the G4 transmitter?

A: This cable is not appropriate for your needs, is for outputting from a wireless receiver to a camera or mixer. If you desire to connect a dynamic mic to a Sennheiser wireless transmitter, i would recommend using a Remote Audio CASENSK100XMC48 XLR Female to Locking 3.5mm TRS Male Adapter Cable (4'), BH #RECASEK100M.
