Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this pull one channel, or take both? I believe you need an extra resistor in there to take both channels. Thanks!

A: Most adaptors of this sort will take two channels from the 3.5 stereo end and mono it out (combine to 1 channel) into the Xlr end.

Q: 2. Can I use the VXLR Pro to connect a Roland CS-10EM Binaural Mic to XLR connectors capable of supplying phantom power?

A: Yes you can use the Roland CS-10EM with the Rode VXLR Pro.

Q: 3. Since this is passive, it's bidirectional, right? So I can take the signal from XLR line level to an 1/8" video capture input.

A: The Sescom AUD-TRS-BAL 3.5mm Stereo Unbalanced Audio to Dual XLR Balanced Converter Cable has male connectors on the XLR ends (which are used for connection to XLR inputs) and converts an unbalanced 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo output signal to a balanced XLR input signal, so it would not work. As an option for connecting dual XLR line output to an 1/8" (3.5mm) line input, you can use a standard Y-cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to Two 3-Pin XLR Female Y-Cable - 1' (B&H # HOYCSMMR2XF1). If the 1/8" (3.5mm) input is a mic-level input, you can use a level-matching cable like the Sescom Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - TRS Male to Female XLR, 18" (B&H # SES43DBMZ2XJ), which will convert the line-level signal to mic level.

Q: 4. Will this work to connect a Deity V.Lav mic to the XLR input on a Zoom H6?

A: Yes it wll.

Q: 5. Can the RODE VXLR Pro also be used to connect an unbalanced 3.5mm mic to the Phantom-Powered XLR connector?

A: No. It would need to be a 3.5mm TRS connection microphone that requires mic plugin power to be able to work with phantom power and the Rode VXLR Pro.

Q: 6. Can I use a Sanken COS-11D with a Zoom FX3 using this adapter?

A: Yes, a Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Microphone that has a 3.5mm TRS connector can be used with the Zoom F3 Portable Field Recorder when connected with an adapter like the RODE VXLR Pro Transformer-Balanced 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom-Power Converter or the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP). You will need to turn on phantom power on F3 to power the mic.

Q: 7. Does this product come in black?

A: No, Neutrik does not offer this adapter in black finish.

Q: 8. Will the Lav mic came with the "Sennheiser G3" work with the "Rode VXLR PRO" when connecting to a mixer-recorder such as the MixPre ? Does it accept the screw lock from the "G3's lav" TRS connector? Thank you for the answers.

A: Yes, the Rode VXLR PRO adapter can be used with a Sennheiser lavalier microphone to enable connection to an XLR mic input on a mixer/recorder such as a Sound Devices MixPre model. The VXLR PRO has a threaded female 3.5mm TRS connector on one side to attach the mic and a male XLR connector on the other end allows the mic to be plugged into an XLR input. Additionally, the adapter converts 48V phantom power into plug-in power so you can safely provide power to the mic.

Q: 9. What happens to the -20 safety channel when the Rode VideoMic NTG is used with this "balanced" adapter?

A: When used with a standard unbalanced 3.5mm microphone cable, the Rode VXLR Pro's extra pin (used for inverted polarity audio signal in balanced devices) would be inert, but unbalanced audio is still passed through the balanced connection.

Q: 10. Does B&H sell a locking make 3.5trs to non-locking 3.5trs short cable, as this will be ideal for connecting this adapter to my preferred mic and maximizing connection integrity, at least on the adapter side. Thank you.

A: No. A locking 3.5mm male TRS to a "non-locking" 3.5mm female TRS would be as special order, made to order from a specialty shop, such as Whirlwind. B&H could order for you$$.....
