3.5 Mm Mono Cable

[1] Stereo 3.5mm TRS in, balanced mono XLR out. Perfect for my purposes and passive, so no bulky power supply required. Just does what it says it will.

[2] This does more than merely adapting from 3.5mm to XLR. For most PA uses, where one needs to run output from an iPad or other portable device into a mixer, it should be mono and balanced. A splitter adapter cable that goes from XLR to stereo 3.5mm male is ONLY suitable for converting from XLR to dual channel mono out via 3.5mm. The process doesn't work in reverse unless you use a transformer like this that specifically sums the two stereo channels to create a proper mono mix (not just one stereo channel, which may be missing important parts of the mix that are in the other channel). This works perfectly, and I use it several times per year.

[0.045 lb] I needed a short 3.5mm cable and the price was right. Works as expected.

[0.525 lb] If you're looking for nice long 3.5mm cable - this one represents good quality.

[Nickel] I have no complaints about this stereo mini 3.5mm cable. It sounds great and seems to be built well.

[4-Channel] I got this today and it works great with my cell phone, it even came with a 3.5mm to 3.5 mm cable for cellular use...I was surprised..also do yourself a favor..install the gain jumpers as stated in the directions..it will give you more audio on a noisy day. HTH

[Low Cut/HPF] It's a different concept as it requires no batteries, it's powered from the camera. Why is this important. Well, for me two reasons, the first being you cannot screw-up and forget to turn it on, its on when mounted on the camera. The second reason, if this is an occasional use mic batteries are a pain, you find yourself thinking, are they fresh, maybe they're dead or will they last the recording session? No issues with this mic, if your camera's rolling then the mic is working - as it should be. It may not be the best mic you can buy, but (and its a big but) if you attach this mic to your SONY you will get very decent audio most every time, it's pretty much immune to pilot error and therefore it has its proper place in my kit (as does the auto exposure setting on my mode dial). Size-wise, it's tiny. You could leave it in your pocket for those just-in-case moments. As with all these on-camera mics (or on-camera flash) I'd say being within 6-10 feet is the optimal working distance. My only complaint, even when mounted on a SONY smart-shoe equipped camera you still have to plug-in the 3.5mm cable to access the manual audio levels feature on the camera. Without the 3.5mm cable this mic is in full-auto mode, but it does appear to do a very good job is noisy environments! So to sum it up, if I were to take one mic out on a road-trip, I'd take this one, it'll just work. Fancy mics are obviously better, but how many times have you heard a video guy say, well the audio isn't too good in the clip, I didn't have the levels set properly -- no issues here (without the 3.5mm cable), you'll be in full auto and in the ball park. KISS!

[Yes] Works great--this cable allows you to convert a male 1/4 stereo jack to a 3.5 mm--I use it to go from an audio mixer to a computer input.

[6' / 1.8 m] The Mogami Gold 3.5mm TRS Male to Dual XLR Male Y-Cable is a super high quality cable that sounds great and should last many years. It also carries a lifetime warranty. Cables are getting to ridiculous prices just like all audio equipment, but B&H always has the best prices.

[0.1 lb] These cables are high quality if you don’t know or want to make one yourself. I will say that the right angle 3.5mm cable connector used is a tiny bit bigger and when slipping the locking clamps in, I have to use more force to have it placed properly. Not a big deal.
