In situations when I have to connect 'wrong' type of XLR plugs/sockets I use a cable with these plugs. Brilliant. Very useful for last minute, unexpected challenges.
My second cable with this plug is XLR-1/4" socket, if the problem involves 1/4" connection.
Plug is quite big so not the best for regular connections, where standard xlr's are best, but as problem solver, perfect.
