18-inch TRS-to-XLR adapter cable
This 18-inch (0.5 m) cable connects a 3.5 mm male TRS plug to a female XLR socket. Three conductors carry the tip, ring and sleeve signals. The left and right channels are soldered together, so the output is an unbalanced mono feed.
Suits mono microphone or line feeds; not for stereo
Use it to plug a lavalier microphone, portable recorder or stereo line output into a mixing console, amplifier or powered speaker with XLR input. Buyers who need a balanced signal path or separate left and right channels should look at a different cable type.
Unbalanced wiring merges both channels into one
Because the tip and ring are joined internally, the cable delivers a single combined signal rather than discrete left and right audio. This design choice determines whether the adapter matches your source and destination equipment.

Questions about this item
What is the exact length of the cable so I know if it reaches my desk mixer?
The cable measures 18in (0.5m) from the 3.5mm TRS plug to the female XLR connector.
How do I connect this unbalanced cable correctly so the stereo signal sums to mono?
Plug the 3.5mm TRS end into the stereo source; the tip and ring are already soldered together inside the plug, so both channels feed the single XLR pin 2.
Will the female XLR jack wear out if I plug and unplug microphones daily?
The XLR connector uses a standard latch design rated for repeated mating cycles; keep the contacts clean and avoid side strain on the 3.5mm plug to maximise life.
