## Description

The VXLR+ is a 3.5mm female TRS to male XLR adaptor, which will convert 12-48V phantom power down to 3-5V plug-in power, allowing RØDE on-camera microphones such as the VideoMicro and VideoMic GO, as well as self-worn microphones like the HS2, to receive power from an XLR input. It also features a locking connector for added security.

Review: Seamlessly turns your wireless lavs into wired xlr mics. - I picked up the VXLR+ to adapt a pretty standard lav mic (3.5mm TRS connection) to my XLR interface for recording some ADR for a film produced locally, that was on a super tight budget. I didn't really know what to expect, as I was using this device rather than a more expensive adapter made by the microphone manufacturer, but boy, was I pleasantly surprised. The lav connected to the NXLR easily, and screwed in just as it should, although it did have a tendency to work its way loose, so keeping it tightened up between talent was necessary, but this was a small price to pay for the amount of money it saved me, not having to buy a wireless pack and receiver station. The adapter then easily connected to my interface via XLR, and once the phantom power was turned on, I had a crisp clear, and unwavering signal from the lav mic without any of the expensive wireless gear. It worked seamlessly, with no ground hum, no his, and no phantom fry... The active circuitry that converts the 48V phantom power down to the ~4V plug-in power is brilliantly designed, and keeps your lav from being cooked... It's actual regulation, not just dropping voltage, so you get a clean signal and your mics are safe. It gave me a full, clean signal with no coloration or RF weirdness. There's no added gain or noticeable impedance mismatch. It's basically invisible, which is what you want. The metal housing makes the dongle feel rugged, and like it's not going to shatter if you drop it. The TRS jack is snug with no wobble, no signal drop-outs even with older lavs that have seen their long days of use. Especially at the price, this is not just for pro-audio people, but if you're using lav mics for interviews or shoots and want better than DSLR preamps, the VXLR+ lets you route your lavs into Zoom devices, MixPres, or full-sized interfaces easily and quickly, and it's light enough to clip on the belt of your talent without stacking adapters like Jenga blocks. Whether you're doing location ADR on a budget, or you run a first-class recording studio, the VXLR+ is an absolute must-have (and at the price, you could probably stand to have 3-4 on hand, just in case)! I highly recommend this little power-house.
Review: Works great for all my trs connections. So much i own 3 of them. - I cannot express how thrilled I am with the Rode VXLR Plus XLR to 3.5mm Transforming Adapter. This little device has completely transformed my audio setup and made my recording process so much smoother. The build quality of this adapter is top-notch. It feels sturdy and durable, which gives me the confidence that it will last for a long time. When I received it, I noticed the absence of any annoying 60-cycle hum or hiss that I experienced with cheaper adapters. What surprised me the most was how transparent the audio quality remained. My microphone sounded just as pristine as when connected directly to the interface. The VXLR Plus provided the necessary voltage conversion for my unpowered mics and I didn't experience any issues with audio levels or distortion. It's an active adapter with internal circuitry that does its job superbly. Even though the price is slightly higher than some alternatives, I can confidently say that it's worth every penny. The peace of mind and reliable performance it offers are unmatched, making it a worthy investment. Overall, the Rode VXLR Plus XLR to 3.5mm Transforming Adapter has exceeded my expectations in every way. It has solved all my connectivity challenges and allowed me to use my favorite microphones with ease. If you want a reliable and high-quality solution for your audio needs, I highly recommend this fantastic adapter. Bravo, Rode!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and play, great sound.
*by T***S on July 28, 2025*

I wanted to use my Rhode VideoMic Pro as a boom mic and an adjustable arm. The arm came with a build in XLR and this worked perfectly to convert my TRS to XLR. The sound quality is excellent, I have not observed any increase in floor noise with using the converter. Rhode makes a cheaper converter that does not support phantom power however for the price it is worth having the extra flexibility for future use. They also have a more expensive converter that also converts to a balanced signal. However this is really only needed if your cables runs are over 20 feet. If your cable runs are below that then you likely would not hear any perceivable difference. If it is over 20 feet, get the Rode VXLR Pro.
