18-inch TRS-to-XLR output cable

This 18-inch cable connects Sennheiser G4/G3 and RodeLink camera-mount receivers to professional audio equipment. A moulded 3.5 mm TRS plug with a locking collar mates securely with the receiver output. A Neutrik XLR-3M connector terminates the other end for mixer or recorder input. The ultra-flexible PVC jacket keeps the cable light and low-profile for field use.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive unbalanced audio interconnect the cable generates no heat and draws no power. No active electronics or fans are present so operation is completely silent. The flexible jacket resists kinking during handheld or bag-mounted recording. Signal integrity depends on the connected devices rather than the cable itself.

Locking 3.5 mm TRS connector for Sennheiser

The right-angle mini TRS plug includes a locking collar that prevents accidental disconnection on Sennheiser EK 100 G4/G3 and RodeLink receivers. Builders needing a straight plug or a different receiver pinout should choose another cable. The 18-inch length suits belt-pack to camera-top runs without excess slack.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 3.5 mm TRS locking plug to a Sennheiser G4 receiver without damaging the collar?

Align the right-angle plug with the receiver jack, push straight in until the collar clicks, then tighten the knurled ring by hand only; forcing it sideways strips the threads.

What part of this cable wears out first and how do I replace it?

The moulded strain relief at the 3.5 mm end fatigues after repeated bending; the whole 18 inch assembly is replaced as a single unit.

At what length does signal loss become noticeable on this unbalanced run?

The 18 inch length stays well below the 10 metre threshold where unbalanced lines typically pick up hum, so loss is not the limiting factor.
