Description
The Rode VXLR+ adapts a professional XLR microphone to any camera or device with a standard 3.5mm TRS input — and crucially, it converts 48V phantom power into plug-in-power for condenser microphones. A small but essential piece of kit for run-and-gun shooters connecting pro mics to mirrorless cameras.

Rental Tips
Run signal through every cable and channel the night before. Intermittent connections and bad cables are the most common live audio failures — catching them in advance saves the gig.
Use tape and a marker to label both ends of every cable and the corresponding mixer channel. When troubleshooting under pressure, labels are the difference between a quick fix and a 10-minute scramble.
Bring at least one extra cable, adapter, and battery for every critical connection in your signal chain. Redundancy is cheap — downtime is not.
Tape down cable runs across walkways and keep them away from power cables to reduce trip hazards and electrical interference. A clean cable path is safer and sounds better.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What cables or adapters do I need?
Check the connector type in the specifications. We rent XLR cables, 3.5mm cables, and common adapters — let us know your setup and we will make sure you have everything.
Can I use this with my camera?
Most pro audio gear outputs line level or mic level via XLR. Cameras with XLR inputs work directly; for 3.5mm camera inputs, you may need an adapter and a level attenuator.
Is phantom power required?
Check the specifications above for power requirements. Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power. Dynamic mics and devices with internal batteries do not.
