View Full Version : XLR to mini jack (stereo) cable.... Brent Marks March 21st, 2005, 09:50 AM Where is the cheapest/best place to buy online? B David Ennis March 21st, 2005, 12:57 PM This one is one foot long--other lengths are avaiable. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=158476&is=REG Marco Leavitt March 21st, 2005, 01:24 PM I have the Hosa cable, and consider it to be very cheaply built. The XLR connector is very flimsy. Also, note that it will route your audio to one channel, leaving the other blank, causing interfenence. It also does not block plug in power, so it won't work on the mic input jack on some camcorders and recorders. I'm not really sure what the intended use of this thing is. Much better is the Shure A96F which has a transformer and a DC voltage blocker -- $36.50 at B&H. Francois Poitras March 21st, 2005, 02:07 PM I made two of these cables, wired exactly like the Hosa, and they work perfectly well with my Sennheiser K3U/ME80 mic and my Panasonic GS400 camcorder.

I am always careful about recommending the right one. Marco Leavitt March 21st, 2005, 04:05 PM Fred, Yup. You're right I just checked it. I did indeed order the stereo version. Doh! David Ennis March 21st, 2005, 05:02 PM (I did too, a while back....want another one so you'll have a pair?) 8>] Brent Marks March 21st, 2005, 06:17 PM I just ordered two 15foot HOSA's... Are they really cheaply made? I ordered before I read the complaints Marco Leavitt March 21st, 2005, 06:57 PM I still say the connectors are cheesy, but they do work. I wouldn't be too worried about it. What are you connecting to anyway? Buying a pair seem like an odd purchase. Brent Marks March 21st, 2005, 11:08 PM I have an HDR-FX1 cam.... with some mics... I just like having 2 of everything |
