Neutrik Miniature Transformer Balancing Adaptor XLR Male to 1/4” Jack

The Neutrik Miniature Transformer Balancing Adaptor is a compact and robust solution designed for professional audio signal conversion and passive direct injection (DI) applications. Featuring a rugged aluminium housing with a distinctive D-shaped design, this adaptor is built to withstand the rigours of live performance, studio work, and touring.

Its core component is a high-quality 1:1 impedance ratio audio transformer (200:200), which provides exceptional isolation and effectively converts between balanced and unbalanced lines. This makes it ideal for eliminating ground loops and hum, connecting consumer-grade equipment to professional mixing consoles, or safely feeding instrument-level signals into microphone preamps without the need for active circuitry, gain switching, or a separate earth connection.

The adaptor connects a 3-pole XLR male plug on one end to a 1/4” mono (6.35mm) jack on the other, facilitating a wide range of audio interfacing tasks. Its ground-lifted design is particularly useful in scenarios where a complete ground break is required to solve persistent noise issues. The compact dimensions ensure it fits easily into any toolkit or accessory pouch, making it an indispensable piece of gear for audio engineers, musicians, and broadcast technicians.

Constructed from durable aluminium, the housing not only protects the internal transformer but also provides effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. The Neutrik brand guarantees reliable connectors and consistent, high-fidelity signal transfer, ensuring your audio integrity is maintained from source to destination.
