I want to run 150' Balanced XLR from mixer to camera, so can I use this at the camera end to maintain clean audio?

The Longer the length of cable the less likely the audio will maintain it's purity (signal to noise ratio) as it can pick up AI along the way. This rode Adapter is for a 1/8 stereo jack to XLR, it is not the best way to maintain audio quality. However if your connection (chain) type necessitates this, i must tell you it's not bad at all.

You don't get something from nothing. The original output form the microphone is a dual mono out. This adapter merely allows you to plug it into an XLR input. It will never be a truly balanced connection, because a balanced connection requires two signal lines instead of one. But his doesn't automatically mean you can't do it. It only means that it will behave as an unbalanced connection. In this situation you might consider running you mic into an inexpensive mixer, probably using this adapter. You can get 4-channel mixers for under $50. Then take a line level signal from the mixer and run it the 150' into your camera. Remember to go to your camera's menu and reset the audio input from mic level to line level. Then you should have a much cleaner signal, especially if your mixer and camera are communicating with each other via a balanced connection.

As long as you're running it with a cable that has XLRs, it should be great!

You could buy a 'Y' adapter which has 1 quarter inch input on one side and 2 female inputs on the back so you can run your quarter inch instrument cable into one, then convert if your mic is XLR or just plug the quarter end into that.

As long as the microphone cables are not ALL XLR. There's only one XLR channel so if the other mics are XLR you'll just need an adapter to plug them into the mixer.

I used this about 2 years ago and from what I remember I needed to connect 2 XLR mics to a stereo camcorder mic input. This is the the not the "correct" way to do this properly. The "proper" solution is more complicated and much more expensive. XLR mics are "Balanced" mics and in theory when used properly they minimize or eliminate the unwanted 60 Hz hum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

This mixer uses XLR for main outputs but also has balanced TRS outputs for control room outs and Aux sends. If you can't solder your own XLR connectors you could buy a couple of these: amazon.com/dp/B000068O4C/

Yeah I use XLR to RCA for my near field speaker connections but you can always use 1/4 to RCA the mixer has outputs for both

It'll take any analog audio signal in XLR form and convert it to digital (that's why it's bulky around the USB connector part). Beware, though, this product adds a bit of noticeable hiss and noise to your signal, so you might not want to use it for a final mix if you're outputting from a mixer.

You can connect it directly. That's how I've always used them. Wouldn't hurt to have an extra XLR to give yourself more space.

It's a standard pro audio EQ - You can either use it inline between the Mixer and Amp ( out from mixer into EQ then out fro EQ to Amp) or as an insert on any standard mixer. the N$ has Balanced XLR output so there should be no problem inserting into your signal chain.

I'm assuming you mean that your interface does not have XLR Jacks? You'll probably need a couple balanced XLR to TRS cables. Like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BPBQXM5/

Hello - this has single ended RCA outputs only - in order to get both single ended RCA and XLR Balanced outputs, you must move up to the DacMagic Plus.

Either the XLR or TRS offers a balanced output. This baby is pretty versatile for our small group, so we raraly haul out our bigger mixer board anymore

I have a Tascam with 2 XLR ins. When I run 2 mics I just plug them both in. If I am only using one mic, then I use this to ensure I don't get a channel of hiss. So this appears to be the opposite of what you want. This is a single in for a double out.

Not so fast on that conclusion... an XLR connection doesn't necessarily mean a balanced mic. It's unlikely that a 600 ohm mic is balanced. It will probably work on a short cable if there's no radio source around. Just because it has three contacts doesn't mean that it's using them all.

Yes, though the adapters from mini-xlr to standard xlr are rare, and expensive. It might be just as economical to buy a shure radio transmitter. It would also be more practical than running an xlr cable from the talent to the camera.
