Ruth's sister XLR 3-pin female to right-angle 3.5 mm TRS stereo jack mic cable

XLR 3-pin female to right-angle 3.5 mm TRS cable

This cable connects a microphone with a standard XLR 3-pin male output to a DV camera or recorder that uses a 3.5 mm stereo jack input. The right-angle plug fits tight spaces on camera bodies. It is built for location sound and video production where a secure, balanced-to-unbalanced link is required.

Practical limits of the analogue audio interface

The connection carries an unbalanced stereo signal after the XLR-to-TRS conversion, so cable runs should be kept short to avoid noise pickup. Phantom power cannot pass through the 3.5 mm jack, so condenser microphones needing external power must be self-powered or use a separate supply. The right-angle plug may not clear deeply recessed ports on some recorders.
