Rode VXLR Pro

There is a new adapter in-town called the Rode VXLR Pro. All in all, this adapter is pretty simple in function, but definitely worth more than what you pay for it. XLR Adapters are simply a godsend depending on the job. Simply put, it takes any 3.5mm terminated lavalier and allows you to connect it into a full-sized XLR input either on your camera, portable field recorder, or tabletop mixer.

The Rode VXLR Pro

This female TRS mini-jack to male XLR adaptor allows you to connect RØDE microphones with a 3.5mm output to devices with an XLR input. The Rode V XLR Pro may be small, but it contains an internal transformer to convert an unbalanced signal to a balanced signal, making it ideal for connecting a microphone with an unbalanced output to a mixer or interface.

The internal transformer allows microphones such as the VideoMicro and VideoMic GO to receive power from XLR devices and it features a locking connector that will ensure your connection is always secure when recording. It makes it a perfect lavalier hardline adapter to throw in your wiring accessories kit for when you need it.

Why Use Audio Adapters?

Have you ever worked on a production where they asked you to turn off ALL RF Transmitters and to record with ONLY hard-lined lavaliers and microphones? The Rode VXLR Pro and Deity D-XLR are perfect tools for these types of jobs. Pair these audio adapters with a couple of long XLR Cables to ensure your cables reach and you are in the game.
