About XLR to 1/4" / 3.5 mm Cables
These cables connect an XLR source to a jack input. An XLR female to 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cable keeps the signal balanced from a microphone or XLR output into a mixer, interface, or recorder with TRS inputs, wired Pin 2 to Tip, Pin 3 to Ring, and Pin 1 to Sleeve. An XLR female to 3.5 mm TRS cable feeds a dynamic or self-powered microphone into the mic input of a camera or portable recorder; it does not pass phantom power. Typical builds use oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, a copper shield, and a PVC jacket.
