Rode VXLR+ XLR to 3.5mm Power Converter - Review with Audio Tests

The Rode VXLR+ is an XLR to 3.5mm converter that can help you provide 3 to 5 volts of plugin power to your 3.5mm microphones.

In this video I explain exactly what this adapter is for and do a series of audio tests to demonstrate how useful it is.

In the audio tests the audio levels between the four microphones I tested were a little different so I applied Adobe's multiband compressor to bring the levels up. This in no way changes what I was trying to illustrate and means you don't have top keep adjusting your volume :)
