Reliable Timecode Sync for Your Production Sync your audio recorder and camera perfectly with the POWRIG 3.5mm to XLR 3-Pin Timecode Cable. Designed for professional filmmakers and sound engineers, this cable provides a stable, noise-free connection between your timecode generator (like Tentacle Sync) and cameras or recorders with XLR inputs. Why This Cable? Timecode drift can ruin hours of footage. Our cable features high-density shielding to reject RF interference and hum, ensuring your timecode signal stays pristine even in electrically noisy environments (like near large LED panels or transmitters). The gold-plated connectors resist oxidation, guaranteeing a reliable signal take after take. Key Features 3.5mm TRS to XLR 3-Pin Male — Standard configuration for connecting timecode generators to professional audio inputs High-Density Shielding — Triple-shielded cable (braided + foil) minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) Gold-Plated Connectors — Ensures corrosion-free signal transmission and reliable contact over years of heavy use Flexible & Durable Jacket — Soft-touch PVC jacket remains flexible in cold weather and resists kinks and tangles on set Wide Compatibility — Works seamlessly with Tentacle Sync E, Atomos Sync, and cameras/recorders with XLR timecode inputs Compatible Devices Timecode Generators Tentacle Sync E, Atomos Sync, UltraSync One Cameras Canon C100/C200/C300/C500, Sony FS5/FS7/FX6/FX9, RED Komodo/V-Raptor Audio Recorders Zoom F8n/F6, Sound Devices MixPre/633/688/788, Tascam Technical Specifications Connector A 3.5mm (1/8") TRS Stereo Connector B XLR 3-Pin Male Cable Type Shielded microphone/timecode cable Impedance Low impedance for clean signal transfer What's in the Box 1 x POWRIG 3.5mm to XLR 3-Pin Timecode Cable FAQ Does this cable work with the Tentacle Sync E? Yes. The Tentacle Sync E uses a 3.5mm output for timecode, and this cable connects it directly to the XLR timecode input on your camera or recorder. Is this a balanced or unbalanced cable? This cable is wired for timecode applications. The XLR 3-pin connector provides a balanced connection for the timecode signal, which helps reject noise over longer runs. Can I use this for audio monitoring? While physically possible, this cable is optimized for timecode signals (SMPTE). For professional audio monitoring or microphone connections, we recommend using our dedicated XLR audio cables.
