Rode VXLR Pro Female 3.5mm to Male XLR Adapter Power Converter

The Rode VXLR Pro is a professional audio adapter designed to bridge the connection between microphones with 3.5mm TRS outputs and equipment featuring XLR inputs. This compact device serves as both a connector and signal converter, enabling users to integrate consumer-grade microphone outputs into professional audio systems commonly found in recording studios, broadcast environments, and field recording setups. By facilitating this connection, it expands the compatibility of various Rode microphones with a wider range of audio interfaces, mixers, and recording devices. At its core, the VXLR Pro utilises an internal transformer to convert unbalanced signals from 3.5mm sources into balanced XLR outputs, significantly reducing noise interference during long cable runs—a common issue in professional audio applications. The adapter also performs phantom power conversion, transforming the 12-48V phantom power supplied by XLR equipment into the 4V plug-in power required by many compact microphones. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate power sources when using microphones like the VideoMicro or VideoMic GO with professional audio gear. The locking connector mechanism ensures secure physical connections that won't dislodge during movement or transport. This adapter is particularly valuable for content creators, videographers, podcasters, and musicians who use Rode microphones in hybrid setups combining consumer and professional equipment. It enables seamless integration of portable recording gear with studio-quality interfaces, making it practical for field recordings that require later studio processing. The robust construction and premium components ensure reliable performance in various environments, from controlled studio settings to demanding outdoor locations. By solving compatibility and power issues in a single compact unit, it streamlines audio workflows for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
