XLR to mini-XLR adapter

[Jim Brennan]

Anybody know where to buy one locally, in Colorado? I am hoping to get one for friday for a shoot on the RED.

total snap to make your own.
I just made a dozen or so last week.

order them from redco.com
and get 2 day delivery.

they sell the cable you need as well.
I use mogami mini stuff these days for most things

If you really dont want to solder 3 pins
just get trewaudio to make them for you for 3x the cost.

hmm
i guess 2 day wont cut it.

Make sure you check with the camera rental place..
Everytime ive been on RED shoots from numerous different outfits
they have had their own adapter cables as part of their kit.

Yeah, we already have one. I need a second one.

Thanks for the link.

Oh, in case anyone reads this and decides to follow my advice.
You pretty much HAVE to use the mini cable to fit into the TA3 (mini xlr) connector
and you still have to break off the back of the connector and widen the hole a bit.
