FAQs

What type of microphone can I connect?

You can connect microphones with a standard 3.5mm TRS plug, such as most lavalier or lapel microphones.

Does this adapter convert the microphone's signal?

No, this is a passive adapter cable. It simply adapts the physical connector type from Mini XLR to 3.5mm TRS, allowing a microphone with a 3.5mm output to connect to a camera's Mini XLR input.

Will this work with cameras that have a standard XLR input?

No, this cable is specifically designed for cameras with a Mini XLR (3-pin) input, not a standard XLR input.

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 0.3 meters, which is approximately 12 inches.

How do I secure the 3.5mm connection?

The 3.5mm connector features a screw-on locking mechanism. Simply screw the collar onto the threaded plug of your microphone cable to secure it.

Is this cable powered?

No, this is a non-powered, passive adapter cable. It does not require any batteries or external power.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal from the microphone.

Ensure the Mini XLR connector is fully seated in the camera's input. Verify the 3.5mm connector is securely locked. Check that the microphone itself is functioning and properly connected to the adapter.

Audio has intermittent dropouts.

Confirm the 3.5mm locking screw is tightened. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Test with a different microphone to rule out a microphone issue.

Microphone is detected, but audio quality is poor (e.g., hum, static).

Ensure the Mini XLR connection is firm and clean. Try connecting to a different Mini XLR input if available, or test the microphone and adapter with a different camera to isolate the source of interference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Connect the Mini XLR male end to the Mini XLR input port on your camera or audio device.
Connect your lavalier microphone's 3.5mm TRS plug to the female 3.5mm TRS locking screw socket on the adapter cable.
Gently tighten the locking screw on the 3.5mm connector to secure the microphone cable.

Compatibility:

Input: Mini XLR (3-pin) Male connector.
Output: 3.5mm TRS Female Locking Screw connector. This is compatible with most standard lavalier microphones that use a 3.5mm TRS plug.
Camera Examples: Canon C70, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K, Blackmagic Video Assist 4K, and other cameras with a Mini XLR audio input.

Care:

Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
Gently clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dirty.
Store the cable by coiling it loosely to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wires.
