What about just getting the Rode adapter designed for that purpose? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=rode+vxlr&N=0

If you don't know what you're doing, buy one. Though it is simple, solder the cable in phase to the correct pins...

What juicedLink do you have? If it's the DT454, you don't need to do anything but plug the mini jack from the VideoMic into the mini-plug mic input.

Gotta be careful though. Rode got "creative" with the wiring of the plug on the Videomic and it means those Rane notes diagrams have to be modified a bit. The plug on the video mic is desired to send a single mono signal to the left and right channel equally on a stereo mic input. It is a TRS plug wired with signal hot going to BOTH tip and ring shorted together, ground to sleeve. If on is wiring an adapter to accept its plug into a 3.5 inline TRS jack and send it to an XLR, the jack needs to be wired tip to pin 2, ring unconnected, and sleeve to XLR pins 1 & 3 jumpered together. The normal practices of TRS ring to ground or to pin 3 will cause the signal to be shorted to ground.
