Short 16 inch cable with XLR male and 3.5mm male plugs

Kondor Blue

Kondor Blue 16" XLR Male to 3.5mm Male Mini TRS Cable

SKU CH-3FF3-JRKNV

A 16-inch professional audio cable connects a 3.5mm mini-plug microphone to a 3-pin XLR input on cinema or broadcast cameras

  • Connect 3.5mm microphones to professional XLR inputs
  • 16-inch length keeps rigs tidy on set
  • Straight 3.5mm plug fits tight camera ports
  • 3-pin XLR male ensures balanced audio signal
  • Professional cable for cinema and broadcast cameras

Compact On-Camera Audio Link

This 16-inch cable connects a 3.5mm mini-plug microphone directly to a standard 3-pin XLR input on cinema or broadcast cameras. It lets operators mount small lavalier or on-camera mics without a separate wireless system or bulky adapter box. The short length keeps the cable run tidy on a rig or gimbal.

Fixed-Length Signal Path

The 16-inch run is short enough to avoid excess slack but long enough to reach from a shoe-mounted mic to a side-panel XLR port. Because it is a passive, unbalanced-to-balanced connection, signal level and noise performance depend on the microphone output and camera preamp gain structure. No active circuitry or phantom-power conversion is built into the cable itself.

Replaces Wireless Kits and Long Adapter Chains

It substitutes for a wireless transmitter-receiver pair when the talent stays close to the camera, saving battery management and frequency coordination. It also removes the need for a 3.5mm-to-XLR barrel adapter plus a separate XLR cable, reducing connection points that can loosen. The jump is worth it for solo shooters, documentary crews, or gimbal operators who want a single, lightweight cable instead of a multi-piece chain.

Questions about this item

Does the 16" length add any noise or interference when the cable runs all day on set?

The short 16" run keeps the unbalanced 3.5 mm section minimal, reducing the chance of hum or RF pickup during extended use.

What equipment must I already own to use this 3-pin XLR male to 3.5 mm male cable?

You need a microphone or wireless receiver with a 3.5 mm TRS output and a camera, recorder or mixer with a standard 3-pin XLR input.

Will this cable work with my older broadcast camera that only has 3-pin XLR inputs?

Yes, the 3-pin XLR male plugs directly into legacy XLR inputs while the 3.5 mm end connects modern mini-plug microphones.
