CUSTOM 3.5mm TRS to XLR(f) - Stereo to Mono Cable - 5m
This cable has been constructed by our local cable technician in Canberra, due to low stock or lack of stock for other similar models we usually have stocked. Due to the custom nature of the cable and being built with Australia, our costs are higher than for standard pre-made cables we produce in bulk in our overseas factory.

XLR(mono) to 3.5mm Stereo
A microphone outputs a "balanced" signal, which is also "mono" (1 audio channel). If you need to connect a mic to a 3.5mm "stereo" input, such as on an iPod, PC sound card or HD camera, a cable like this is required to SPLIT the "mono" signal into a "stereo" signal, so it reaches both the LEFT and RIGHT side of the 3.5mm stereo input.

Perfect for Balanced Mic to HD Video Camera Connection
Smaller HD Video Cameras often have a Stereo mic input, and if you need to connect a balanced microphone signal to the camera, a mono to stereo cable is handy so the audio is recorded to the LEFT and RIGHT audio channels.

What happens to the Balanced signal?
As you are connecting to a stereo 3.5mm input (which if stereo, cannot be balanced), you cannot gain a balanced connection. The balanced (inverted polarity signal) just gets shorted with the ground and not used.
