I have A higher end camera top shotgun microphone that uses a 1/8" TRS Male connector for output. I've been using a 1/8" extension cable and a Rode VXLR adapter to connect it to my audio recorder. However, I'm not happy with this setup. I've tried several combinations of cables and Rode adapters, but the female TRS port in the adapter, is always a loose to downright sloppy fit.
I've looked for a ready made cable, but there doesn't seem to be any on the market, at least that I can find. So it seems like I'm going to have to make one. From the research I've done, the Rode VXLR only uses the right channel of the stereo input, it doesn't combine them (if that's the right terminology.)
Can someone give me guidance on how I would go about making a custom cable like this, or point me to a resource that might help?
I've never wired audio cables before, but I'm no stranger to soldering, wiring, and basic circuitry.
