What it is
A short microphone cable with a 3-pin XLR female plug for the microphone and a 3.5 mm TRS male plug for the mic input of a camera, portable recorder or other device with a 3.5 mm input. Our standard wiring sends the microphone signal to both the tip and the ring, so the recording appears on both channels. It is a plain cable with no attenuator or other components inside, and it does not pass phantom power.
The 3.5 mm plug comes straight or right-angle; the right-angle version sits flat against a camera body or rig.

FAQ
Does this cable power a condenser microphone?
No. A 3.5 mm camera or recorder input cannot supply +48 V phantom power, and this cable does not pass phantom power. Use it with dynamic microphones or self-powered microphones that have their own battery or power supply.
Why is the 3.5 mm plug TRS rather than TS?
Most cameras and recorders have a stereo 3.5 mm mic input. With our standard wiring, the microphone signal goes to both the tip and the ring, so you hear it on both the left and right channels instead of only one.
Does it work with phones?
Not directly. Most phones and their headsets use a 4-pole TRRS socket, which needs a different plug and wiring. A TRRS version for phones can be quoted as a separate custom design.
