FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cable?

This cable is designed to connect a standard XLR audio source (like a microphone or mixer) to the mini-XLR audio input found on specific cameras, such as the Canon C70 and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K/6K.

What are the connector types on this cable?

It features a 3-pin mini-XLR male connector on one end and a standard 3-pin XLR female connector on the other.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 16 inches long, which is approximately 0.4 meters.

Is this cable suitable for all cameras?

No, this cable is specifically designed for cameras that have a 3-pin mini-XLR audio input port. It will not work with cameras that only have standard 1/4" or 3.5mm microphone jacks.

Can I use this cable to connect my camera to external speakers?

While this cable connects to your camera's audio input, it is intended for audio *sources* like microphones to be connected to the camera, not for outputting audio from the camera to external speakers. For speaker output, you would typically need a different type of cable.

Does the blue color serve any functional purpose?

The blue color is primarily for aesthetic identification and organization, making it easier to distinguish this cable from others in your equipment bag.

What is the warranty on Kondor Blue cables?

Kondor Blue typically stands behind their premium quality cables with a lifetime warranty.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal received

Ensure the mini-XLR connector is fully seated in the camera input and the XLR connector is securely plugged into your audio source. Verify that the correct audio input is selected on your camera and that your microphone or mixer is powered on and functioning.

Intermittent audio dropouts or static

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not being subjected to excessive strain or being pulled. Try a different cable to rule out an issue with the cable itself.

Audio has low volume

Confirm that the gain settings on both your microphone/mixer and your camera are set appropriately. Ensure you are using the correct input channel on your camera and that the cable is fully connected.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality construction associated with the Kondor Blue brand.

Cons

  • The 16-inch length may be too short for setups requiring more cable distance.
  • Specific connector types limit direct use with devices lacking mini-XLR inputs.
  • Limited color options if a specific aesthetic is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 3-pin mini-XLR male connector into the corresponding mini-XLR input on your camera. Then, connect your microphone, wireless receiver, or audio mixer to the standard 3-pin XLR female connector on the other end.

Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for cameras featuring a 3-pin mini-XLR audio input, such as the Canon C70 and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K. The output is a standard 3-pin XLR, compatible with most microphones and audio equipment.

Care: To ensure longevity, avoid sharply bending or kinking the cable. Store the cable loosely coiled. Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
