Hosa Technology XVM-110F XLR3F to Right-angle 3.5 mm TRS 10 ft camera accessory

Microphone cable for camera audio

This Hosa XVM-110F cable connects a professional microphone with an XLR output to a camera or recorder with a 3.5 mm stereo input. It serves videographers and field recordists who need to route balanced mic signals into consumer mini-jack sockets. The 10 ft length gives enough reach for typical on-camera or boom-mounted setups.

Unbalanced input limits signal integrity

The 3.5 mm TRS jack on the receiving device is an unbalanced stereo connection, so the balanced XLR signal is converted to unbalanced at the cable end. This makes the link more susceptible to noise over long runs and prevents phantom power from reaching the microphone. Users needing true balanced audio or phantom power must use a dedicated adapter or recorder with XLR inputs.

Right-angle plug eases camera mounting

The right-angle 3.5 mm connector sits flush against the camera body, reducing strain on the input jack during handheld or rigged operation. An internal strain relief on the XLR3F side reinforces the solder joints against repeated plugging and cable tugs. Oxygen-free copper conductors and a spiral shield maintain flexibility while rejecting EMI and RFI in electrically noisy environments.
