Product Information

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.

Balance. XLR cable is always, always balanced, which means there is less likelihood of noise and interference. This also makes the audio quality superb.The SC9 is a TRRS to TRRS cable designed to connect a wide range of audio devices. At 1.5 metres long, it is particularly suitable for connecting a smartphone to the RØDECaster Pro. SC10 – 3.5mm TRRS to TRRS Cable

For live shows, XLR may not offer the same benefit as TRS because of its rather short length. However, XLR can provide more robust and balanced audio without catching too much noise. XLR also provides a more secure connection, whereas TRS connection loosens in time. The RØDE SC17 USB-C to USB-C cableconnectingthe RØDECaster Pro to aMacBook Pro. Understanding Different Cable Connections The obvious pro to consider when using an XLR vs TRS is sound quality. With an XLR connector, there’s no chance of interference between the left and right channels, so all you’re left with is pure audio quality! USB-A – You should be familiar with this type of cable. USB-A is one of the most common connections found on virtually every modern computer (and many other devices). Itiseasy to identify as itislarger than other USB types. You know the one – the classic rectangular USB cable. Inflexibility. The equipment you are using must be compatible with XLR cable, which means the equipment must be a female port and the connector must be a male port.Again, XLR and TRS follow the same balanced connection principle but with different “ends” or connectors. XLR uses pins while TRS uses a tip, ring, and sleeve system. Although TRS and XLR don’t differ that much from each other as far as sound quality is concerned, there are many situations when XLR cables are a more favorable choice. 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. XLR Connectors Less Likely to Short Out: XLR connectors don’t short out during connection. TRS can short out and you risk blowing out your fancy ribbon microphone with a preamp when you have phantom power turned on while TRS is plugged in. XLR can be safer to use in such a scenario, especially if you leave phantom on (which isn’t advised anyway, but it’s something you should consider).
