RØDE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS to XLR Adaptor,Black

If you want to connect your Rode lav mic or wireless mic to a making desk with phantom power you need this device. I tried to make a lead to block phantom power reaching the output of the wireless go receiver. It worked but did introduce some noise.This device is compact and effective. it comes with a plastic clip attached to you can plug an XLR cable into the adapter and clip it to your belt. This means that there is no weight put on the lav mic. If you are plugging this device indirect into a mixing desk then you need to remove the clip.On the packaging there is a circuit diagram of the device. It does not show that magic happens inside but for a technical person it provides enough information.The XLR output is mono unbalanced. so keep cable runs short or use a DI box to create a balanced out put for longer runs.The input uss a TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) 3.5mm jack plug. Only the Tip and Sleeve are connected.This is fine for the rode wireless go (single transmitter version) as the output of the receiver is present on moth tip and ring.If you are using the Wireless go 2 (dual transmitter version) you will either need to set output to mixed and have both transmitters on the one output. If you want to have each transmitter to have its own output then you will need two VXLR+ adapters and a SC11 TRS Splitter Cable. The receiver would then have to be switched to dual output mode.The photo above show how you would connect a Rode wireless go 2 to a mixing desk using a SC11 TRS Splitter Cable and two VXLR+ adapters.*The receiver used in the photo above is a Rode wireless receiver. It is for illustrative purposes only.

Yep seems to work 100% as intended. Solid build quality.I used it to get some gaming headphones to work with my XLR audio interface. The headphones need to have a splitter to separate the audio from the mic. This item just enables you to connect the 3.5mm mic lead (of the headphones) to an XLR input (and the audio lead of the headphone just goes in the normal audio output).So far it has worked flawlessly.

Bought these as I have used Rode equipment in the past and things have gone well. These are no exception and are very useful for converting from XLR to 3.5mm to use a lapel mic that requires phantom power. They also work as a basic convertor to allow you to connect your phone to a mixing desk

Bought for my GH5 XLR attachment (so i can take a XLR input from the soundboard and take a 3.5mm input from mic for ambient/audience sound on the other channel).Bottom line it seems to do the job and doesn't fry your mic with phantom power - I'm NOT a audiophile so won't comment on noise floors and the like, the fussier lot will probably want the pro version but for me this does the job for a fair price.

For what this does, allowing you to phantom power a 3.5mm microphone, this is extremely effective.The results you get will depend entirely on what preamps you have in your camera or audio recorder as to the results you get.I get a noise floor of about -55db and while I'd like it to be under -60db (with the Panasonic Eva1), noise reduction plugins take care of this.I keep two in my kit bag for the dreaded day that both analog and digital wireless microphones go down during a shoot (it happened once at a trade show in London) and I was very glad I had these as the backup of the backups!

Well made and works with my Rode Video Micro and my tascam DR60Dmk2Still need to try some of my professional condenser mics but I think it should work OK

Firstly, I must commend RØDE on the build quality of this adaptor. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, giving me confidence that it will last for a long time. The gold-plated connectors not only enhance the durability but also provide excellent signal transfer, resulting in crisp and clear audio reproduction.

Works perfectly, great quality and no issues running this using a Rode Wireless Go kit into an audio recorder.

I had originally purchased the VXLR Pro instead of the VXLR+ to interface my unbalanced in-ear electret condenser microphones with my MOTU M2 audio interface per said microphones expecting plug-in power to produce a usable signal. I had favoured the balanced version over the VXLR+ both due to its having had a better USD to CAD conversion price at the time, and my supposing that it would have better noise performance even when plugged directly into the MOTU M2, which it measurably did. Unfortunately, the balanced version introduces third-order harmonics below 2 kHz, hence I would rather recommend this unbalanced version for distortion measurements.Attached are 4M-length measurements through Room EQ Wizard (REW) of my Meze Elite's left driver at around 100 dB SPL. The upper curve is the magnitude versus frequency response. The brown trace below is the noise floor. The black trace is the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). The red trace is the second-order harmonic distortion while the orange trace is the third-order harmonic distortion, all plotted at the frequency at which they occur. The first image was taken using the VXLR Pro, whereby though the noise floor around 900 Hz is around 10 dB lower than for the VXLR+ shown in the second image, there are quite elevated third-order harmonics starting below 2 kHz, likely due to the use of a transformer to convert the unbalanced signal into a balanced signal; since my application was to use this adapter with the MOTU M2 to facilitate averaged headphone distortion measurements with a lower noise floor, this is unacceptable. The unbalanced VXLR+ as seen in the second measurement image does not have this distortion issue, this being traded off with increased noise around 900 Hz at least when coupled with the MOTU M2. My measurements seem to show minor low-Q differences in frequency response between these two adapters if such were not merely due to my headphone earpads moving.Hence, if ever you need to take accurate distortion measurements using unbalanced plug-in-power microphones, favour the unbalanced VXLR+, else if you are not concerned for such third-order harmonic distortion and need superior noise rejection for longer XLR runs, favour the VXLR Pro.

I cannot express how thrilled I am with the Rode VXLR Plus XLR to 3.5mm Transforming Adapter. This little device has completely transformed my audio setup and made my recording process so much smoother.The build quality of this adapter is top-notch. It feels sturdy and durable, which gives me the confidence that it will last for a long time. When I received it, I noticed the absence of any annoying 60-cycle hum or hiss that I experienced with cheaper adapters.What surprised me the most was how transparent the audio quality remained. My microphone sounded just as pristine as when connected directly to the interface.The VXLR Plus provided the necessary voltage conversion for my unpowered mics and I didn't experience any issues with audio levels or distortion. It's an active adapter with internal circuitry that does its job superbly.Even though the price is slightly higher than some alternatives, I can confidently say that it's worth every penny. The peace of mind and reliable performance it offers are unmatched, making it a worthy investment.Overall, the Rode VXLR Plus XLR to 3.5mm Transforming Adapter has exceeded my expectations in every way. It has solved all my connectivity challenges and allowed me to use my favorite microphones with ease. If you want a reliable and high-quality solution for your audio needs, I highly recommend this fantastic adapter. Bravo, Rode!

Este adaptador hace que funcionen los micrófonos que no tiene fuente de poder propia, como es el caso de la mayoría con jack trs 3.5mm en una grabadora que alimenta con fuente phantom de 12-48v, en mi caso la zoom F3.

With voltage step-down to protect your mics. Superb quality, solid built, extremely reliable. Work beautifully with my Zoom h8 and Podtrack P4 recorders.
