The Pearstone PM Series TRS Male to XLR Female Cable 25ftis ideal for audio applications in which a device with an XLR output needs to be connected to a device with a balanced 1/4" input. Typical scenarios include connecting a microphone preamp to a line input on a mixer or connecting an outboard effects processor to an aux return.

The cable is equipped with 24-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and spiral shielding to protect against EMI and RFI noise. The professional-grade cast-zinc Rean XLR connector is field serviceable and features silver-plated contacts, while the Rean 1/4" TRS connector features a molded design for maximum strain relief. The twin conductive PVC shield reduces electrostatic noise and distinguishes the PM series as the best value in its class.

Q: 1. Can I use this on my sinhieser xwd wireless lav to connect to my c100 mark 2 with the top handle attacged

A: Hello Ben. The VXLR Plus is a 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male adapter and converts phantom power of P48 down to plug in power (2-5v). If that's what you need to do and you have the proper connections then, yes, it should work. If you don't need power then the Rode VXLR would work just as well.

Q: 2. If I want to connect my Røde videomicro to a recorder or mixer with an XLR input should I use this and switch on phantom power or will a dummy 3.5mm to XLR suffice without phantom power?

A: The VideoMicro does require plugin power. So yes, you will use the VXLR Plus to convert Phantom to Plugin.

Q: 3. Is this adapter fully compatible with Sennheiser ME2 lapel mics?

A: Yes, it works with the ME2. The VXLR-Plus is the perfect alternative to going wireless. So I nstead of connecting the ME2 to the G3 wireless transmitter, simply connect your ME2 (or most other 3.5mm lapels) to the Rode VXLR-Plus and you have a hard-wired connection. Just make sure that the device you are connecting the VXLR-Plus to (i.e. your camera or recorder), has 48 volt phantom power enabled and you should be good to go.

Q: 4. Would it work for SmartLav+ to Zoom H6 XLR inputs?

A: Yes it will but you will need to get an adapter for your SmartLav as the connector on the SmartLav is a TRRS. In order for you to use the XLR Power Converter you will need an adapter to change the lav connector from TRRS to TRS. This is the B&H part number for the adapter B&H#ROSC3. Once your TRRS becomes a TRS them you can use the XLR power converter with the H6.

Q: 5. Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Mic With a Sennheiser 3.5 EW connector work properly with this adapter please?

A: My previous answer may be inaccurate. Some COS-11D microphones are 48V Phantom and some are +3V to +10V. You will need to determine the power requirements of your microphone. The VXLR Plus provides 5 Volts.

Q: 6. If I plug a stereo mic to the VXLR+, does it mix both channels into one mono? Or this just uses one of both stereo channels?

A: When using the Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter with a stereo microphone, the output will be summed to dual mono. Please note that most microphones with a 3.5mm TRS connector provide dual mono output signal and not true stereo output. An actual stereo microphone will have two mic elements instead of one.

Q: 7. Will this work with VC1 3.5mm 10' Extension cable that requires a plugin power or do I need VXLR Pro ?

A: Yes the Rode VC1 extension cable will work with the Rode VXLR+ adapter.

Q: 8. Hi, Does this adapter come with the clip that goes around the middle? I don't see it on the pics...

A: From what I see on Rode's site, this does not come with any belt clip. For an adapter that does, I would recommend the Deity #DEDXLR, which also does the same job.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with balanced or unbalanced XLR?

A: The VXLR+ is designed to convert high voltage phantom power used with pro balanced XLR mic inputs into much lower bias voltage (plug-in power) that is needed by many unbalanced electret condenser mics like lavalier mics and shotgun style camera mics.

Q: 10. Can this convert unbalanced TRS to balanced XLR?

A: This adapter will not balance the microphone signal. You can use it to connect stereo 3.5mm wired microphones to XLR inputs. This version does have a transformer balanced output: https://bhpho.to/2WQbqxK
