The SC17 is a 1.5m-long USB-C to USB-C cable designed to connect RØDE microphones with a USB-C output to USB-C compatible devices. The SC17 is also Hi-Speed certified, making it ideal for connecting the NT-USB Mini or RØDECaster Pro to devices with a USB-C input, such as computers and tablets. Finally, a TRRS cable is just like the TRS but with the inclusion of a microphone channel. A common application for this type of cable is a headphone, where you can not only listen but also speak through the built-in microphone. TRRS is favored over the other two types for multi-media device use. Pros and Cons of TRS

This article advises you on the best connector between XLR vs TRS cable. So let’s get this debate going! What Is a TRS Cable? Essentially, the audio inputs and outputs must flawlessly work together to achieve professional and studio-quality audio work. But which one between XLR and TSR is a good choice? Perhaps it would be easier to make your choice if you understand the characteristics of these two audio cables. Read on to learn more. XLR vs. TRS: Beginner’s Guide to Audio Cables TRS – Tip, Ring, and SleeveThe SC4 is a TRS to TRRS adaptor, designed to allow microphones with a 3.5mm TRS output to connect to deviceswith a TRRS input. This is ideal if you want to connect a RØDE VideoMic, lavalier or Wireless GO to a computer, smartphone or tablet. SC5 – 3.5mm TRS to TRS Cable for Wireless GO II (Not Available Separately) Power. XLR cable can run without being connected to a power source. It can even deliver power to a condenser microphone. This is called phantom power, and it can be such a useful advantage. The SC7 is a TRS to TRRS patch cable, designed to allow microphones with a 3.5mm TRS output, such a RØDE VideoMic or Wireless GO, to connect to devices with a TRRS input like a computer or mobile device. SC8 – 3.5mm TRS to TRS cable (6m) Of course, you would want to prevent as much external noise from completely ruining your audio recording, and that is why you should look for cables with excellent interference shielding.

Unlike the TRS, the TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced cable can relay stereo signals in long cables without interference. This allows you to give your fans a great show because you can move freely without worrying about noise distortion in your sound. Types of TRS Connectors The XLR connector is designed to send electrical signals from devices in the same direction. Audio industries and audio engineers often employ microphones to transmit audio signals that are electrical energy between devices. Mixing devices such as audio devices use a connector XLR to transmit signals. The SC19 is a 1.5m-long Lightning Accessory Cable (USB-C to Lightning) designed to connect MFi-certified USB-C microphones to iOS devices. SC20 – USB-C to USB-A for Wireless GO II (Not Available Separately) USB-C – USB-C is a more versatile connection than USB-A in several ways. It allows for a faster data transfer rate, as well as a higher power link, meaning faster charging and the ability to run more power-hungry devices. USB-C connectors are also smaller than USB-A. They are increasingly utilised in computers and mobile devices, as well as microphones and other audio devices. XLR is an abbreviation of External Line Return, and it is a connector built by James H. Cannon in the ’90s. XLR cables have become synonymous with microphone cables are they are used in most microphones and other audio equipment such as 5-channel amplifiers and speakers.The bottom line is – XLR is fantastic for studio recording, and also works well for live performances. If superb sound quality is what you are after, XLR is your best bet. Expensive. XLR cable costs more than TRS cable. Sure, there are cheap XLR cables but they don’t last very long as they are low quality. It will not be cost-effective to keep buying cheap XLR cables. XLR outputs are used for microphones intended to be plugged into professional audio equipment like mixers and audio interfaces, such as our studio and shotgun microphone range. The SC15 is a Lightning Accessory Cable (USB-C to Lightning) designed to connect MFi-certified USB-C microphones to iOS devices. It is particularly suitable for connecting the VideoMic NTG to iPhones or iPads with a Lightning input. SC16 – USB-C to USB-C Cable (300mm) TRS connectors are easy to use and don’t need any extra equipment or cables to connect them. On the contrary, XLR requires an adapter to convert them into a TRS connector and then an additional cable between the adapter and your speaker system.
