The 25' XRSM 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm RA Stereo Mini-Plug from Kopul is a studio-quality cable that can be used for converting a mono-microphone or a line-level signal to a 3.5mm stereo signal for devices such as camcorders, DSLR cameras, recorders, and more. It can be utilized with dynamic mics and self-powered XLR condenser microphones.

The XRSM cable is engineered to provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise, offering a gold-plated 3.5mm (1/8") right-angle stereo mini-plug connector with molded strain relief, as well as a 3-pin XLR-F connector with a chuck-style strain relief by REAN. The XRSM cable is built with 24-gauge OFC (oxygen-free copper) conductors, spiral shielding, and has PE insulation, which produces a quiet cable with good conductivity ensuring a clean transfer of the audio signals.

24-gauge oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and polyethylene insulation offer excellent conductivity for a good transfer of audio signal

Studio-quality gold-plated 1/8" (3.5mm) right-angle stereo mini-plug connector and a female XLR connector provide clear signal transfer

The REAN XLR connector with chuck-style strain relief and the molded strain relief of the mini-plug connector create a durable cable

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Would this work with the Rode VideoMic NTG TRRS output (allowing you to record the signal in addition to the safety track separately) with any mixer with XLR inputs?

A: The adapter has a female 3.5mm TRS connector, so to avoid the possibility of any issues with compatibility, it would be better to use a TRS cable instead of the TRRS cable since the auto-sensing feature may not work properly when connecting to an adapter rather than directly to a mic input. For a standard TRS cable, you could use the Rode SC2 Right-Angle 3.5mm TRS Coiled Patch Cable (B&H # ROSC2). As an easier solution, you can use a single Y-cable with 3.5mm TRS and left/right XLR connectors like the Kopul Y-Cable with 1/8" TRS Stereo Mini to 2 XLR Male Connectors - 3' (B&H # KOSMYCM2XM03) or Hosa Technology Pro Stereo Breakout Cable - 3.5mm Stereo Mini to Dual 3-Pin XLR Male - 3' (B&H # HOHMX003Y) or Hosa Technology Stereo Mini-Phone (3.5mm) Male to 2 XLR Male Y-Cable - 6.6' (B&H # HOYCSMM2XM6). All of the Y-cables are available in longer lengths. The single Y-cable ensures a proper left/right split and helps to avoid introducing noise into the signal.

Q: 3. 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: 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. What is the plastic clip it comes with used for?

A: That clip allows the user to attach the VXLR+ to a belt if using a lav with it.

Q: 6. 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: 7. I'd like to connect my on cam cold-shoe shotgun mic (sennheiser, takes AAA) to audio mixer (zoom F4). Is this what I'm looking for?

A: You can use that but it isn't necessary. You can use a simpler adapter like B&H # KOAXMMF or B&H # ROVXLRB&H # ROVXLR

Q: 8. If it is stereo mini plug, if I use an Sony fv420 to pcm m10, would it be one channel or two channel?

A: The Sony EC-1.5BX is designed to work with the Sony UWP wireless transmitters which have a mono input. This is not a stereo cable. An XLR microphone connection is not stereo. A similar cable may be used with a portable recorder and will transmit dual mono . This is simply the same signal on both left and right side.

Q: 9. 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: 10. 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.
