Questions & Answers
The balanced cable consists of three conductors, a shield ground, two signal wires and a signal wire. In an unbalanced circuit, one conductor is connected to the + signal and the other to the ground and the other to the - signal An indication. Unbalanced signals have a high resistance, such as the cable of a guitar, and balanced signals are generally low resistance.
The device IS NOT an adapter for converting from low to high impedance. The 1/4" cable is connected to the XLR input through this simple adapter. This is a purpose for which they manufacture adapters. One of those is lying around somewhere in my house.
This does not have a 1/4 female. Connecting a 1/4 jack to an XLR cable can be achieved by using this adapter.
We measured the length of this adapter (P047BB) as 4 1/8 inches. Your help is greatly appreciated!

If this adapter doesn't have any transformer(s) or other electronics in the circuit, or if it is just a cable to cable pin out that changes an instrument cable from TS to XLR balanced, I'd be very interested in learning more. The problem happened while I was playing an acoustic guitar with a passive pickup connected directly to a Zoom H4N (a McIntyre Feather, but it does not seem to matter what kind of pickup it was). The Zoom used batteries when it was powered by them Nothing to worry about. Both the adaptor and cable appear to be in good working order. It appeared to be some kind of electrical field or other EMI interference created when the Zoom was connected to the adapter. If the chain were run through an amp, the hum would be eliminated, but if it was run through a DI, the hum would still exist. The adaptor in this chain has been tried finally With this adapter, you connect the guitar jack 1/4" TS cable to the Zoom recorder, then the XLR male into the Zoom, and voilĂ , no There should be some grounding if it is just wire connections When using this adaptor, a type function is invoked. I have placed it in the Zoom recorder case, so that it is always with me when I use the adaptor with the recorder. There can be a lot of 60hz hum to chase down, and I'm quite pleased to have The product is built to the highest standards.
You can't beat that price! It is made of very solid material. My apologies for not going for some knock-off I thought it would be fun Item that was off-the-wall, weirdly branded, and would have cost at least as much as it actually did. There are two of them in service (semi-auto This is a permanent setup) and doing fine.
If this is the right adapter for your application, don't hesitate. Don't listen to anyone with no idea how this stuff works. It won't do anything that it's not supposed to, so don't pay attention to any reviews that criticize it. I will explain it in a few simple words Here is the cable that you need to connect to a balanced/trs male xlr connection if you want to use a balanced/trs male cable. Note that tRS is generally mono when it comes to xlr cables. I am not sure if it would pass a stereo signal just like that, unless you're using the cable for something special. As a result, I run from a mono/trs mixer output to a mono/tr video camera input (using a 1/4" to 1/8" trs cable) and have not experienced any problems with the " third wire " While it would be possible to spend more money on some type of balanced to unbalanced adapter, I don't see a reason to do so right now. As an FYI, I did patch in an inline attenuator cable to tame the line level signal so that it would better work with the camera, which expects to see a mic level.
This adaptor lets you connect a 1/4 inch to an XLR plug in your sound system quickly. A wireless guitar system can easily be converted into a wireless mike with this device. I like how it works.
One of the unique features of my acoustic guitar is that it has an XLR With this adapter, you can connect your guitar with a 1/4" cable so that you can connect it to an amp. A guitar with an XLR output can be coupled with an amp with a 1/4" cable. The device appears well-made and so far seems to be working fine. This might also work well if you want to connect a mic to guitar effects pedals for any other.
I ran the mic through my guitar effects to see what would happen. As a result of this converter, I was able to generate some very nice voice effects. The sound is excellent without any added noise.
Though I wish it were smaller, it functions quite well for the purpose it was designed for. So I am not blown away by its shortcomings, but neither am I too annoyed by them.
It does what it was supposed to do. There's a little more to it than I had anticipated, but it's not a major problem. It is being used to convert an output on my soundboard. No buzzing or hissing has appeared during this process! The item was as described. I would buy it.
The stated result was achieved. If you plug into a laptop with an adaptor, you have to plug it in only to be able to get volume, not because it's defective, perhaps since it's.
