Audio Cable RØDE VC1 3m 3.5mm Black

The RØDE VC1 is a 3 m (10') 3.5 mm stereo audio extension cable with two-core shielding and gold-plated 3.5 mm jack and socket. It is designed to extend the connection between microphones and cameras or recorders, or to act as a high-quality headphone extension cable. The black cable is suitable for professional audio use and ensures reliable signal transfer for devices with 3.5 mm stereo connectors.

Advantages

The VC1 offers gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance, and two-core shielding to reduce interference and maintain audio clarity over the 3 m length. Its male-to-female 3.5 mm configuration provides a simple plug-and-play extension for microphones such as the RØDE VideoMic, Stereo VideoMic and VideoMic Pro when the microphone is positioned away from the camera or mounted on a boompole.

Suitable for

• Extending connection between RØDE VideoMic, Stereo VideoMic or VideoMic Pro and a camera or recorder
• Use as a headphone extension cable for devices with 3.5 mm sockets
• General 3.5 mm stereo audio extension for field recording and run-and-gun setups

Key specifications

How to use

Plug the male 3.5 mm jack into the microphone output (for example a RØDE VideoMic series) and connect the female 3.5 mm socket to the camera or recorder input using an existing 3.5 mm cable, or plug headphones into the female end to extend headphone reach. Ensure connectors are fully seated to avoid intermittent connections and route the cable to prevent damage or strain on connectors when the microphone is mounted on a boompole.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid tightly coiling the cable during storage, keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources, and check connectors for debris before use. When using on a boompole, secure excess cable to the pole to prevent cable tugging and minimize handling noise.
