Product Information

Full details

This Kondor Blue Dual Mini-XLR to 3.5mm Stereo TRS Right-Angle Cable is designed for independent filmmakers and audio recordists seeking to split stereo audio signals into separate left and right channels for camera or recorder input. Its primary benefit is enabling the use of camera-selectable safety channels and providing a clean stereo split from sources like the RODE Wireless Go II. A potential consideration is its fixed 16-inch length, which may not suit all setups.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cable?

The main purpose is to split a stereo audio signal from a 3.5mm source into two separate mono Mini-XLR outputs, typically to record left and right audio channels independently onto a camera or recorder.

Can I use this with any microphone?

You can use this cable with any audio source that has a 3.5mm stereo output. The Mini-XLR ends will then connect to devices that accept Mini-XLR inputs.

What does 'selectable safety channels' mean?

Many professional cameras allow you to record the primary audio signal on one channel and a secondary, often lower-level, copy of that signal on another channel. This cable facilitates sending separate signals to enable such features.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 16 inches long.

What is the weight of the cable?

The cable weighs 1.4 oz.

Is this cable powered?

No, this is a passive audio cable and does not require any power.

Can I use this to send two different mono signals?

No, this cable is designed to split one stereo signal into two separate channels. It does not accept two separate mono inputs.

Troubleshooting

No audio or weak audio on one channel

Ensure the Mini-XLR connectors are fully inserted into the camera/recorder. Verify that the audio source is outputting a stereo signal and that the camera/recorder is set to receive separate left and right inputs.

Crackling or static noise

Check the connection at both the 3.5mm and Mini-XLR ends for any debris or damage. Try plugging into a different port on your camera/recorder. Ensure the cable is not being subjected to strong electromagnetic interference.

Cable does not fit Mini-XLR ports

Confirm that your device has 3-pin Mini-XLR inputs, not standard XLR or other connector types. This cable is specifically for Mini-XLR.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides clean stereo signal separation for independent channels.
  • Right-angle 3.5mm connector reduces cable management issues.
  • Enables use of camera safety channels for improved audio redundancy.
  • Durable build quality suitable for professional use.
  • Lightweight at 1.4 oz for easy integration into camera rigs.

Cons

  • Fixed 16-inch length may be too short for some setups.
  • Requires devices with Mini-XLR inputs for full functionality.
  • Primarily designed for stereo splitting, not general audio extension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the 3.5mm stereo TRS end to your audio source (e.g., RODE Wireless Go II receiver, camera's headphone out for monitoring). Connect the two Mini-XLR ends to the corresponding Mini-XLR inputs on your camera or external recorder. Ensure the Mini-XLR connectors are fully seated.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for devices featuring 3.5mm stereo TRS output and dual Mini-XLR (3-pin) inputs. It is specifically noted for compatibility with Canon C70, Blackmagic 6K Pro cameras, and the RODE Wireless Go II system when utilizing its stereo output mode. Always verify your device's input specifications before use.

Care: To ensure longevity, avoid yanking the cable by the connectors. Store the cable neatly coiled to prevent kinks. Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if they become dusty. Keep away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
