The Korena take

An 18-inch adapter cable with a 3.5mm mini TRS on one end and XLR on the other, for tying small devices into pro audio gear.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Feeding a phone, laptop or recorder output into an XLR input
  • Short connections inside a rack or on a camera rig
  • Keeping a mini-jack connection tidy without a dangling adapter barrel

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Runs of more than a foot and a half — it's very short
  • Anyone needing a plain 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cable
  • Stereo transfer over the XLR end

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

1/8" (3.5mm) TRS end

The mini-jack found on phones, laptops, cameras and field recorders.

Detail 02

XLR end

The three-pin pro audio connector used on mixers, interfaces and preamps.

Detail 03

18 in. length

Adapter-length. Designed to sit between two nearby jacks, not to span any real distance.

Detail 04

Patch cable, not an adapter plug

Flexes instead of putting a rigid barrel's weight on the jack, which matters on thin device sockets.

Detail 05

Format change at each end

Consumer mini-jack levels and pro XLR levels aren't the same. Set gain at the receiving device carefully.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check whether your XLR jack needs a male or female connector before ordering
  2. 02Eighteen inches total — plan for an extension if the gear isn't adjacent
  3. 03Levels differ between mini-jack and pro gear; expect to adjust input gain

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Which direction does this run?

It bridges a 3.5mm mini TRS connection and an XLR connection. Confirm the XLR gender matches your gear before ordering.

02How long is it?

Eighteen inches. It's an adapter-length cable meant for gear sitting close together.

03Will it carry stereo?

No. A single XLR connection carries one channel, so treat this as a mono link.

04Can I plug my phone into a mixer with it?

Yes, if the mixer's XLR gender matches. Watch the input gain, since phone output levels differ from pro levels.
