Devinal XLR to USB C Cable, Upgrade USB C Microphone Cable USB Type-C to XLR Female Cord Connector Adapter Compatible with Sumsung Google Huawei Xiaomi Smartphone or MacBook 10 FT

I’m pretty impressed with this cable. Looks well made. It is simple to use, but you need to choose a mic with a good bit of output. This will not replace a proper audio interface, but I wanted something that would allow me to use my phone in place of carrying something like a ZOOM recorder. This works. For recording nature sounds my Rode NTG-2 mic works great. I know a parabolic mic would be better but I’m just having fun. I found my Shure SM57 works pretty good general recording plus you don’t need to work about damaging the mic. So in summary, this XLR to USBC interface may have limitations, it will work great for simple mobile recording. I love it!

It was a great day for audiophiles when this was developed

This thing saved me $200. My most frequently used microphone is the Rode Pod Mic, but I wanted the Rode Pod Mic USB version without spending the $200 on a new mic just for a different connection. I searched and found this XLR to USB-C converter to see if it would work, and to my surprise, it did. I’ve connected it to the Rode Pod mic via my laptop, desktop, iPad, and even my iPhone. Since I recently started streaming, I needed something portable that I could take with me without my audio interface. This converter did the job and worked as advertised. I’m getting another one.

Thank you so much. My old quality Siennheiser microphone has been brought back to life. Beyond excited. Didn't want to deal with a mixer deck and more equiptment. The mic goes right into my laptop and sounds amazing! WOW one cable purchased and a whole new world is opening up!!! See ya on youtube!

Doesn't work with Shure SM7B. Says on the listing and even in an insert in the bag that it is supposed to work with dynamic mics, but if doesn't say it won't work if theic needs a preamp. Without a preamp, the sound from the Shure SM7B is so quiet that it's almost inaudible in the recording. The cable is not able to provide the standard 48V of phantom power, so you can't just connect an inline preamp -- the preamp will just sit there dead. (You would need a self-powered preamp for this cable to work.) In summary: this cable is a super nice idea, but it needs to include its own preamp, powered by USB-PD. (If it implemented that though, it would also need a gain knob...)

Bought a Rode Podmic for my computer, not realizing I needed an XLR cable with a whole mixer. Instead of spending another $100 on a mixer and cable, I just got this XLR to USB C and it works great! If you need to adjust anything or do EQ settings find a digital software to function as your “mixer”! I suggest looking at other reviews for any audio testing or pictures :)

If you have a fairly high-output microphone that doesn't need phantom power, this will get it into your computer or other device with a USB-C port quite nicely. I tested it with a couple of dynamic mics and generally had to have the gain up relatively high; noise was still satisfactorily low at those settings and overall audio performance was quite adequate. The outer jacket of the cable is a braided dark grey fabric that would look very nice on camera, and it's very limp and flexible, which is a definite plus. All in all, I'm glad to add this to my gear bag.

Works well. I can use my Shure SM58 when recording directly to my phone. Much better sound quality

It is soon evident that this is well manufactured XLR recording cable. Allows for connection of XLR to USB-C connection recording. High quality 16 bit capability. Cable is constructed of the durable braided type. To ensure excellent signal path the connectors are OFC. In performance sound quality was good and clear.

The 'manual' is a little confused, explaining that this is designed to work with microphones, guitars and other "line level" instruments. Of course microphones & guitars are not line-level, but thankfully these are what it has been designed for, with a high-gain amplifier. I first tested this with an android phone, using an AKG P3 S vocal microphone. It was detected instantly by my phone and I successfully recorded some speech, which sounded absolutely fine. The only issue is that this adaptor was also detected as headphones, so I had to unplug it to play back - not really a problem. Next I tested it on my laptop. This doesn't have a USB-C socket, only the old USB-A type so I used an adaptor. But again, this was detected instantly. I was using Ubuntu Linux and opened Audacity to do the recording. Again, I was able to make a good quality recording. The lead itself is nice with a thick, robust braided sheath. However, it's only just about 1m long, actually only 91cm between the two plugs - it would be more useful if it were about double that length in my opinion, but of course you can always extend with another XLR lead. Overall this is a quality lead with good sound performance considering its size and price.

This is a well made cable - XLR Female to USB C. Cable itself is braided, and the casing is made of metal, so it seems to be very durable. It's 1 metre in length, so it's a good length when you are working on a desk. I got this to directly connect a microphone to my phone and tablet to do some recording. Recording is fine with good quality audio. The only annoying thing is that USB-C end is obviously connected to the phone/tablet, therefore it's not possible to monitor it as you are actually connecting to a headphone jack. To play back what you've recorded, you also have to disconnect it each time. This is exactly how it works, so it's not a fault of the product, but I find it just a bit annoying when you are working. Just thinking about the quality of the cable, it's good, and I would recommend it.

The cable feels good quality and works in a similar way to headphone adapters for mobile phones, allowing for XLR microphones to be used with a PC. Sound input is clear and no different to using a phono adaption cable. However this cable has simplified my microphone connection for digital recordings.

I have this unit, and its partner the output cable, and I have reviewed them as a pair, so If you're reading this after the other one - sorry, this is a bit of repetition... Both were ever so simple to install, I simply plugged them in and two new audio devices appeared (one per cable)- which was good, because the (very limited) instructions supplied were really very small and difficult to read. No matter - you don't actually need them. Things can get a bit confusing finding the device in windows if you have already got more than one audio interface - it identifies simply as USB Audio, like you don't already have several of those. That's probably a function of it using the MS drivers of course, so I shouldn't complain. In terms of performance, they claim to be be good to 20KHz, and this seems to be supported when I tried it out with Audacity (other audio programs available, but Audacity is free ;-). I didn't see any obvious lumpiness, and it sounded exactly as it should. There's no obvious harshness, but I'm no audiophile, just a part time sound guy. As this is the review for the input side, I will talk about that specifically. I hooked up an SM58 (what else) and went looking for a signal in Audacity. Straight in, lots of level, nice clean input. No errant hum, buzz or crud. The cable doesn't supply phantom power, so if you're using a condenser mic, you need a battery in there or a suitable power supply. I checked with a RODE M3 too, and that sounded as I expect (Great mic BTW - but whoever put that silly superfine thread in an alloy body wants shooting. Don't EVER put a battery in there, you'll never see it again - phantom, and only ever phantom, just in case..) Cables are nicely chunky, and braided for a bit more protection. The cables are 1M long- long enough from laptop to mixer, (and desk mic to laptop if you have the 'other' cable) , but not quite long enough for a more complex setup, or for road use. That said, they're XLR, so dead easy to extend. Overall? I liked them. They just worked, and feel sufficiently solid to last a while with moderate use. I'm keeping them, and will run them for a while to see what happens - I will update the review if anything bad happens, but I don't expect it. I do notice that the USB end gets a little warm - hardly surprising, as that's where the smarts appear to be, but slightly unexpected, as you have that great big XLR body to put stuff in. Meh..
