Deity has just announced a new cable that allows you to connect your 3.5mm video microphones to an XLR-based camera or audio recorder: the Deity V-Link. Let’s take a closer look at it! Audio-specialized company Deity is known for making affordable microphones like the Deity Shotgun mic and the Deity BP-TRX transceiver/recorder. The company just released the Deity V-Link, a small cable that solves common issues filmmakers have: adapting 48V XLR phantom power to a regular 3V 3.5mm TRS jack. Deity V-Link – Features The Deity V-Link is a 40cm/15in coiled XLR to 3.5mm TRS audio cable. This cable allows you to connect nearly every 3.5mm video microphone to an XLR-based audio recorder or camera. On the XLR side, you’ll find a right-angle XLR jack. But, it’s not just a simple cable, as the Deity V-Link adapts the 48V phantom power supplied by the XLR input it’s plugged into. Then, this signal is converted into a 3V Plug-In Power signal, mimicking the traditional 3.5mm TRS jack that video microphones are designed to be used with.
