The 3' Kramer Electronics XLR 3-Male to XLR 3-Female Quad Style Cable is designed for microphone or line level audio interconnections. The cable uses four cores of copper, wound in two parallel pairs, to reduce the amount of electromagnetically induced noise caused by environmental factors such as AC transformers and florescent light ballasts from interfering with the audio signal.

The quad-core design can reduce induction levels by up to 90% when compared to a regular two-pair balanced microphone cable. Additionally, the cable features no-shrink, back hand-soldered XLR connectors, XLPE insulation, and utilizes a large number of thin bare copper wire strands to improve cable flexibility.

Q: 1. Hello. I have the f3 zoom. Is this adapter necessary with phanton power??? because the f3 has the option to give phantom power. I don't understand very well what it would be used for

A: The RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter would be used when you have a lavalier microphone with a 3.5mm connector, and you want to connect it to an XLR input. Lavalier microphones require a certain type of power, which is different from the 48v phantom power provided by XLR audio recorders. This adapter can convert that 48v phantom power to the special plugin power the lavalier needs. Compatibility will depend on the specific model of your lavalier.

Q: 2. is this needed for zoom h6 and rode wireless go?

A: No. The adapter you want is the Rode VXLR (B&H # ROVXLR) since you only need to convert the 3.5mm plug to XLR. The VXLR+ is used when you are using a condenser style microphone like a lavalier mic with a 3.5mm connector and need to connect it to an XLR mic input on a recorder or mixer. For instance, if you have a separate lavalier mic that you use with the Wireless GO transmitter, such as the Rode Lavalier GO, it is a condenser mic that requires plug-in power, which is a low voltage. A recorder or mixer's XLR input can supply phantom power, which is typically 48V and way too much power for a lavalier mic. The VXLR+ converts the 48V to a much lower voltage and allows you to use a mic like the Lavalier GO which requires 2.7V and connect it directly to an XLR input on the H6.

Q: 3. Will this work with the Deity W lav Pro (that is, instead of the similar Deity adapter)? Thanks!

A: This adapter should work with the mini jack connection provided in the W lav kit.

Q: 4. I'd like to use the 9V battery powered Rode Videomic (VIDEOMIC-R) to connect with a Zoom PodTrak P4. Will a standard VXLR converter work with that, or do I need this VXLR+ for it? Thanks!

A: With 9V battery installed, the standard VXLR converter will work.

Q: 5. 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: 6. 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: 7. I have a pair of rode videomicros (requires plugin power) and a pair of wireless lavaliers. I will be using them interchangeably depending on the project. I want to get 2 of this item because the videomicro requires power but I need to know if it will still pass the signal without phantom power because the lavaliers don't need plugin power?

A: Yes, this will pass audio without power.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Tram TR50?

A: Hello Stan, I show the TR50 as a XLR connection and therefore it would not. If there is a TR50 available with a 3.5mm TRS connector then yes, this will work for you.

Q: 9. My guess is that you can’t, but is it possible to only buy the phantom power converter?

A: The RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter adapts an XLR input with phantom power to a 3.5mm input with plugin power. There is no consumer device that does this without any connectors, although some type of OEM circuit may be available from electronics suppliers if you are working on a custom build.

Q: 10. will it work with takstar sgc-598?

A: That adapter will work for the Takstar SGC-598 microphone, to connect to an XLR input. Since that Takstar mic is battery powered, the less costly ROVXLR adapter would also work: https://bhpho.to/3AOKIE9
