Rode VXLR Pro Features:
- TRUE BALANCED OUTPUT: An internal transformer converts the unbalanced 3.5mm signal to a balanced one for clean, low-noise long cable runs.
- POWERS SMALL MICS OVER XLR: Converts 12-48V phantom power down to 4V plug-in power so on-camera mics run from XLR inputs.
- QUIET OVER DISTANCE: Premium componentry keeps noise extremely low even when a long cable run is unavoidable.
- ROCK-SOLID CONNECTION: A locking XLR connector keeps the link secure through movement and cable tension.
- DOES TWO JOBS AT ONCE: Balances the signal and converts the power in a single compact adaptor.
Rode VXLR Pro: Balanced, Powered 3.5mm-to-XLR in One Adaptor
The Rode VXLR Pro is a female 3.5mm TRS mini-jack to male XLR adaptor that adds a transformer-balanced output, combining two jobs professionals need in a single piece. It not only lets a 3.5mm microphone connect to an XLR input, it converts the unbalanced signal to a true balanced one and converts phantom power down to plug-in power at the same time. For anyone running long cables or folding small mics into a serious rig, it is the adaptor that does it all correctly.
Why a Balanced Output Matters
An unbalanced signal, the kind a 3.5mm microphone produces, is vulnerable to picking up hum and interference along a cable, and the longer the run, the worse it gets. A balanced connection carries the audio on two conductors of opposite polarity so that any noise picked up equally on both is cancelled out at the input, which is why professional XLR gear is balanced. The VXLR Pro uses an internal transformer to convert the microphone's unbalanced signal into a true balanced output, and premium componentry keeps its own noise extremely low. The payoff is clean, quiet audio even when a long cable run is unavoidable, something a simple passive adaptor cannot deliver.
Phantom-to-Plug-in Power Conversion Built In
Like the VXLR+, the VXLR Pro also solves the power problem. Professional XLR inputs supply 12 to 48 volts of phantom power, while small 3.5mm microphones need a much lower plug-in power of around 4 volts. The VXLR Pro converts the 12-48V phantom power from the XLR input down to 4V plug-in power, so microphones such as the VideoMicro and VideoMic GO can be powered directly from a mixer, recorder, or camera. You get both the balancing transformer and the power conversion in one adaptor, which is what separates the Pro from the standard VXLR+.
A Locking Connector for Professional Reliability
The VXLR Pro carries a locking XLR connector that clicks firmly into the input and will not shake loose. On location and on set, where cables get tugged and rigs get moved, that positive lock keeps the signal path intact and protects against the dropout of a connection working itself free mid-take. It is the kind of detail that matters most when the recording cannot be repeated.
Who the VXLR Pro Is For
This is the adaptor for the recordist who needs both balanced signal and mic power from a 3.5mm-to-XLR connection. Location sound professionals and event shooters use it when cable runs are long and noise is unacceptable; anyone running plug-in-power Rode mics into a mixer or recorder gains a quiet, balanced, correctly powered connection in a single piece. When a passive adaptor is not enough and the signal has to stay clean over distance, the VXLR Pro is the professional's choice.
