Hosa MIT-129

Works as advertised. Good value for the money. I have no idea about the durability of this device since I haven't used it very long.

Used it for portable music workstation xlr output to PA system.

I am an Amateur radio operator using a rack of external audio processing equipment. I have a good, balanced line microphone for my mixer (RE27), but I wanted to also try an old Electret microphone. First I tried the quickie solution of balanced-to-unbalanced connection, shorting the negative pin to the ground or common pin. The mic. worked, but with a 120HZ hum even with the shielded cable. I purchased this handy transformer to convert unbalanced to balanced and the hum disappeared and with proper EQ, the old mike sounds beautiful.I plan to buy a few more of these to connect other unbalanced mics to my mixer.

As soon as I plugged my cheap little contact mic into this and then into my recorder all the bass showed up. Without this, or something like it, you can't get the full spectrum of frequencies. Yeah it sux that the mic doesn't work well without it, but the mics are only $5 or less.

A must for the box.

You must buy this to switch from low impedance to low xlr impedance or visaversa, other wise you will have buzzing and feedback from your mics, especially on your stage monitors.

It is what it is and it works.

The item meets my needs perfectly
