Overview
The RØDE VXLR is a passive TRS (3.5mm) female to XLR male adapter used to connect self-powered microphones or line-level TRS outputs to XLR inputs. It does not convert or regulate phantom power, and should not be used with microphones that require plug-in power. The adapter routes an unbalanced TRS signal into a balanced XLR connection, helping reduce interference over longer cable runs. Built with a solid metal housing and secure 3.5mm input, it provides a straightforward interface between consumer audio gear and professional XLR-based systems.
