Q: 1. Can this cable be used to run line level audio from a mixer to the camera?

A: Yes, you can use the Mogami Gold Stereo Mini Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Microphone Cable to send line level audio from a mixer to a camera, but you must use an in-line attenuator such as the Hosa Technology ATT-448 In-Line Switchable Input Attenuator with 20, 30 or 40dB of Attenuation (B&H # HOATT448) to pad the line level signal so it does not overload the camera's mic input. The ATT-448 can connect directly to the mixer or you can use an additional XLR cable between the mixer and attenuator if you need more length.

Q: 2. I assume the device at the 1/8 end is NOT sending phantom power. So does the mic still work? With how much dB loss? Wikipedia says phantom power raises the threshold where distortion starts, ... so won't loss of phantom power make the mic more sensitive so it distorts more quickly?

A: I tried to run the XLR end from my pre-amp (with a real vocal mic plugged into it) into my computer -- and naturally it didn't work. I'm sure I'd need some sort of in-between adaptor. But I never returned the cord. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Q: 4. Will this work with talkback on Blackmagic Design Studio Cameras?

A: Yes, the Blackmagic Design Studio Cameras do have a standard 5-pin XLR input for a broadcast headset like the Eartec Max 4G Single Headset with 5-Pin XLR Male Connector. However, the levels are very low because the Blackmagic intercom connection isn't designed for loud or real-world environments. And that it should only be used with Blackmagic for a low noise environment/quiet studio etc..

Q: 8. I am planning to buy Sony ECM -77B. What is the difference between Kopul LMT100 cable this cable. LMT100 even cost more with less length. Can i use Kopul XRSM 3-pin female to 3.5 mm with the Sony Lav mic into DSLR/Field recorder? Then why Kopul LMT100 used for?

A: The Kopul LMT100 has a small matching transformer incorporated into the XLR connector to match the impedance in ohms between the two devices ( microphone to DSLR ). This will guarantee that your audio is on both tip and ring or left and right channels when connected to your DSLR. That is why it cost more than a regular Mic XLR to 3.5 mm.The regular XLR to 3.5 mm doesnt have this transformer which might work, but there is no guarantee because you dont know how your DSLR circuit is designed. So, my advice to you is to go with the Kopul LMT100 even though it is more expensive and shorter.Best Wishes,Ron
