🎧 Rode Mini-Jack Female to XLR Male Adapter: Enhance Audio Quality with VideoMic (VXLR)" Review

Just what I needed for work. A much cheaper alternative to buying separate cables and cords to just connect my mics to XLR inputs, this adapter makes it effortless. Properly hooked up to the Zoom h4n, Sony EX3 and Panasonic H150 everything worked great before I wrote this review. It will surely bail you out and is now a necessary 'just in case' backup adapter. There are no cons as it is a simple product with an exceptional result.

If your microphone only has tip-to-sleeve connectors (not tip-to-ring-to-sleeve), the Rode…

Works well but has mechanical problems.

It's a shame Rode lowered the price on the connector mechanics, otherwise it's a VERY well made, compact product that will work with mic systems that may or may not require phantom power. . Holding the mic/cable firmly on the table always worked well, but I got static with…
