Hosa Technology XLR3F to Right-angle 3.5 mm TRS 2 ft camera accessory

Camera audio cable

This Hosa Technology accessory connects a microphone with an XLR3F output to a camera or recorder that uses a right-angle 3.5 mm TRS input. The two-foot length keeps the cable tidy on a rig without excess slack. It is intended for videographers and field recordists who need a short, direct link between professional microphones and compact recording devices.

Plug-and-play connection

The XLR3F end locks onto the microphone while the right-angle 3.5 mm TRS plug seats securely in the camera jack, so no tools or adapters are required. A common issue is inserting the TRS plug into a TRRS smartphone socket, which can short the ring contacts and mute the signal. Users should verify that the recording device provides plug-in power or phantom power if the microphone requires it.

Consistent signal over long takes

The shielded construction rejects handling noise and RF interference during extended recording sessions. Because the cable is passive, it adds no latency or gain change as the shoot continues. It does not supply power, so condenser microphones needing phantom power must receive it from the camera or an external supply.
