Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this cable 75ohm?

A: The Comprehensive EXF series 3-pin XLR male to RCA male cable is not 75-ohms. Depending on your application, a simple cable may not suffice. You may need a format converter.

Q: 2. What cable is used in these?

A: The Mogami Gold Male XLR to RCA Cable is a Mogami cable. A part number for the bulk cable used is not provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 3. What is the recommended AWG wire to use with this connector?

A: This is recommend for 16 AWG wire.

Q: 4. How is this wired? Does it have resistor to passively Sum the L & R Channels to the XLR? or L & R channels directly summed together without any isolation?

A: This particular cable is a mono ts connection on the 3.5mm connector. It would only see the L channel of a stereo signal. There are no resistors in this cable.

Q: 5. Are these the same as interconnect cables for connecting home audio hi-fi components (e.g. CD player, DAC, amplifier)? Thanks.

A: XLR connectors are not typically offered on home AV products. XLR connections are most often used with professional audio components.

Q: 6. Can this cable be used to run line level audio from a mixer to the camera?

A: Yes, you can use the Mogami Gold Stereo Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Microphone Cable to send line level audio from a mixer to a camera, but you must use an in-line attenuator such as the Hosa Technology ATT-448 In-Line Switchable Input Attenuator with 20, 30 or 40dB of Attenuation (B&H # HOATT448) to pad the line level signal so it does not overload the camera's mic input. The ATT-448 can connect directly to the mixer or you can use an additional XLR cable between the mixer and attenuator if you need more length.

Q: 7. Will the plug fit/thread into an ATH-M50 sleeve? Want to keep the original sleeve so I can use the screw-on adapter. Thx!

A: Specs would suggest that there should be no issues with this.

Q: 8. Roland's list for this RCC-3-TRXM cable subtitles it a "balanced interconnect cable," but the product package diagram shows one lead and one shield; no 3rd lead for balancing signal. So which is this: bal/unbal?

A: The RCC-3-TRXM is a balanced audio cable. The XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors provide a balanced signal.

Q: 9. Will this cable be good for filmmaking and exterior shooting? If not, what cable will be?

A: Yes, the Mogami Gold Stage 3-Pin XLR Male to XLR Female Mic Cable - 30' is a great, durable cable choice for many audio applications including exterior filmmaking.

Q: 10. Is there anything special about these cables? ie will a normal TRS to BNC/XLR/LEMO etc cable work the same?

A: Tentacle Sync C04 cable is built to send the signal in one direction from a Tentacle Sync device into an XLR input.
