Product Information

Full details

This 16-inch Kondor Blue XLR to 3.5mm cable is designed for videographers and audio professionals who need to connect smaller, mini-plug microphones to professional cinema and broadcast cameras with standard XLR inputs. Its key benefit is enabling the use of pro-quality microphones with devices like the URSA Mini, C200, and F5, offering a durable and reliable audio connection. A potential caveat is its fixed 16-inch length, which may be too short for certain setups requiring more cable flexibility.

FAQs

What type of microphone can I connect with this cable?

You can connect microphones that have a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) mini TRS output. This is common for many small form-factor microphones, including some lavalier and on-camera shotgun mics.

Can I connect an XLR microphone to a device with a 3.5mm input using this cable?

No, this cable is designed for the opposite connection: 3.5mm output to XLR input.

What is the maximum length of this cable?

The cable is 16 inches in length.

Is this cable suitable for phantom power?

This cable itself does not provide phantom power. If your microphone requires phantom power, ensure your camera provides it through the XLR input or use an external phantom power supply if needed.

Will this cable work with any camera that has an XLR input?

It is designed for professional cinema and broadcast cameras. While it will physically connect to any XLR input, ensure your camera is set up to receive an unbalanced 3.5mm mic-level signal through its XLR input.

How durable is the plastic construction?

The solid plastic construction is designed to be durable and prevent wear on the wire from regular use, offering a robust solution for field use.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal detected

Ensure the 3.5mm plug is fully inserted into the microphone and the XLR connector is securely seated in the camera. Verify that the camera's audio input is selected and that the microphone is powered on and functioning correctly.

Audio distortion or hum

Check for loose connections at both ends. Ensure the microphone is compatible and providing a clean signal. Try a different microphone if possible to rule out a microphone issue. Keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference.

Cable feels stiff or difficult to bend

This is normal for new, durable cables. Gently work the cable to a desired position. Avoid forcing it or creating tight kinks, which can damage the internal wiring over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Enables connecting versatile 3.5mm microphones to professional cameras.
  • Durable build quality ensures longevity.
  • Compact 16-inch length reduces cable management complexity.
  • Facilitates pro-quality audio capture for critical shoots.

Cons

  • Fixed 16-inch length may not suit all camera setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the XLR male connector into the XLR audio input on your camera and the 3.5mm male connector into the microphone's output. Ensure both connections are secure.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for connecting 3.5mm mini-plug microphones to cameras with standard XLR inputs. It is tested for compatibility with cameras such as Blackmagic URSA Mini, Canon C200, and Sony F5, among other cinema and broadcast models. Always verify your camera's input specifications and your microphone's output connector type.

Care: Store the cable in a cool, dry place. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the connectors. Clean the connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not expose the cable to moisture or extreme temperatures.
