Vonyx CX318-05 - Professional Audio Cable XLR Male to 3.5mm Stereo Jack (0.5m)
The Vonyx CX318-05 is an audio signal cable designed to provide a reliable, high-quality connection between professional audio equipment and devices with a mini-jack input. At 0.5 meters long, this cable is the perfect solution for short connections, keeping your setup clean, tidy, and free from unnecessary tangles. Its primary function is to adapt a mono output signal from an XLR connector to a 3.5mm stereo input, ideal for a wide range of applications in studio work, mobile recording, or content creation.
Manufactured with premium materials, the CX318-05 features flexible internal cabling for easy handling and installation. Robust metal connectors at both ends ensure a solid and durable physical connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections and guaranteeing stable, lossless signal transmission. High-density shielding protects the audio signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), resulting in clear, noise-free sound.

Use cases
This cable is exceptionally useful in multiple scenarios:
- Connect a dynamic or condenser microphone (that does not require phantom power) directly to the microphone input of a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
- Send the audio signal from the output of a mixing console or audio interface to a laptop or portable recording device.
- Connect a wireless microphone receiver to a video camera or smartphone to improve audio quality in interviews or vlogs.
- Use it in home studio setups to connect synthesizers or effects processors to a 3.5mm line input.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable provide a balanced signal?
No. Although the XLR connector is capable of transmitting balanced signals, when converted to a 3.5mm stereo jack, the resulting signal is unbalanced. The cable is designed to take the mono signal from the XLR and send it to the left and right channels of the 3.5mm stereo input.
Can I use this cable to power a condenser microphone with phantom power?
Generally, no. The 3.5mm inputs on most devices like cameras or computers don't provide the +48V phantom power that many condenser microphones require. This cable is ideal for dynamic microphones or condenser microphones that have their own power source (battery).
Is the quality of the connectors suitable for professional use?
Yes, the cable is equipped with metal connectors designed to withstand frequent use, providing a secure and stable connection, essential features in both studio and live environments.
