Cable for XLR to 3.5mm

[Stephen Pruitt]

Hi all. . .

RED is selling this cable for $45 plus shipping.

Amazon is selling this cable for $7 including shipping.

http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-XVS-102F...457966683&sr=8-4&keywords=hosa+xlr+3.5mm+2+ft.

Does anyone know if the Hosa cable is wired the same as the RED cable?

Thanks.

Stephen

For which camer?

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

For Scarlet Dragon. Does RED really wire those 3.5mm inputs differently for each camera? That'd be crazy!

Yes that will work with the Scarlet Dragon. Its different for Weapons though.

They really used a different 3.5mm wiring scheme on those two cameras? Wow. That's. . . well. . . I don't even know what to say about something like that.

Thanks, Mr. Gundu.

My understanding is the 3.5 connection on dragon and scarlet is more a mono connection and that they made it a normal 3.5mm connection on raven, weapon, scarlet-w.

That correct?

Be nice to plug in battery powered dslr mics and not have to modify them by chopping the white wire...like you have to do on dragon and scarlet.

No chopping necessary for Dragon. Just need the right adapter for stereo to mono.

I thought that the Scarlet and Epic had 48V phantom power? That's normal for XLR connectors. I figured they just used the 3 pins on the XLR to the three pins on the 3.5mm to allow for phantom power to the microphones.

Thanks.
