Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with my Zoom H5 and Saramonic WM2100 Lav mics?

A: Yes, the Rode VXLR Pro Transformer-Balanced 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom-Power Converter can be used to make a hardwired connection between the lavalier microphones included in the Saramonic SR-WM2100 2-Person Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System and the Zoom H5 Portable Handy Recorder. The VXLR Pro will properly convert phantom power from the H5's XLR inputs down to the plug-in power voltage required by the lavaliers.

Q: 2. 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: 3. 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: 4. 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: 5. Will NA3FDM fit Audio-Technica AT8646QM Microphone Shock-mount Plate?

A: The Neutrik NA3FDM should fit into the Audio-Technica AT8646QM shock mount plate, but the original connector on the plate is much different from the NA3FDM. Just be aware of the extra clearance needed behind the plate to accommodate the barrel of the male connector on the back.

Q: 6. Am I correct, when assuming that one could use a y-splitter and 2 of these to “symmetrize” the Sound Devices Mixpre 3/6 unbalanced trs outputs?

A: No, the VXLR Pro is not intended for use with a line level audio signal. It is intended for use with a microphone that has a 3.5mm TRS connector that requires plug-in power and enables connection to an XLR mic input that supplies phantom power and it will convert phantom power to plug-in power. It would certainly help to have more information about what type of device or input you will be connecting the line output from the MixPre-3 or 6 to. Since you are sending line level audio from a single 3.5mm TRS output and want to split it to two balanced XLR male connections, it sounds like what you need is a direct box like the Kopul SDI-PPC Stereo Multimedia Passive Direct Box (B&H # KOSDIPPC). This direct box has a stereo 3.5mm input and will allow you to split the output from the MixPre-3 or 6 to left and right balanced XLR outputs.

Q: 7. Will this work to connect a Deity V.Lav mic to the XLR input on a Zoom H6?

A: Yes it wll.

Q: 8. which contacts are positive and negative , will this work for bridge amp application to xlr. speaker ?

A: Pins 1 and 2 of the XLR connection are connected to the -1 and +1 speakON connections. All other pins and connections are unused. For more details regarding wiring and compatibility, please contact Neutrik. Their US office is located in Charlotte, NC. You can reach them by phone at 704-972-3050.

Q: 9. Will it work with my Rode Rodelink filmmaker kit and my Zoom H6?

A: Yes it. will.

Q: 10. Will this fit into a Switchcraft E/EH rack panel?

A: Yes, the Neutrik NA3MDF will fit in a Switchcraft E/EH rack panel.
