One thing to note is that for a microphone to work with the adapter it should be connected first to the adapter then to the lightning port of the iphone. Otherwise the phone will use the internal Microphone instead. This is not my personal opinion, I heard it from another CZcamsr but I have yet to test it out. I have seen it though being demonstrated in a video.
Thank you!! Soooo helpful!! Been searchin for a straight up video regarding this!!
I really enjoy recording sounds and I listen to thunderstorms with iPhone it is so cool I’m getting an XS iPhone and it’s gonna be so cool
TRS stands for tip, ring, sleeve and TRRS stands for tip, ring, ring, sleeve. Those bands you mention are just the insulation between the conductive parts of the plug. So if you think, there's 4 bits of metal on the TRRS plug and 4 letters in TRRS, that's probably a more logical way of remembering it. 😀
This adapter make the recordererd signal mono?
You’re seemingly using a condenser. Are you recording the audio live into your camera via a mixer/audio interface, Or have you synced audio to video in post?
I want to run ableton live from an audio interface with 1/4 jack to my iPhone. I want to live stream me performing music. The only audio I want my iPhone to be using during stream is what going to it directly from my audio interface.
My understanding is I’ll need a male 1/4 jack to female 3.5 trs converter. Then male 3.5 trs to male 3.5 trrs. Then female trrs to iPhone adapter.
Do I have that right?
Hi, I do have a Rode SmartLav+ with TRRS but it doesn't work with my Iphone 12. It is plugged in in the original phone jack to lightning adapter from Apple. Do you know if I need a different adapter to make it work?
Without knowing the exact type of cable you use, chance are that adapter doesn’t transmit audio in (mic), only audio out (headphone). But like others have said: try connecting the adapter to the rode first, then everything to the phone
Thanks for the video, Is the apple lightning adapter is TRS or TRRS? And when I connect it to the iPhone, should it cancel the internal mic? Because I try and the internal mic still picks up sound.
Great video. Thanks for putting this together. Really helped me.
@ 4:50 I don't think that the Rode SC6-L can be used with Face Time or Zoom. I can't seem to find any information on that, or any external mic being used especially for Face Time.
I was able to use the Rode SC6-L through Zoom but you are right it does not work with Facetime for what ever reason.
Excellent video ... well done with delivery ... excellent voice!
Thank you for the kind words!
@@JoelWallis You are welcome
Awesome video man!!
JWiL425 thanks dude!
I'm confused, I have headphones that have two bands which work fine. So is this conversion something exclusively needed for microphones? Or did Apple upgrade this lightning to 3.5mm cable to support both?
simply explanation thank you man
Thank you!
I bought an iPhone lighting 3.5 adaptor but I can just use it for recording voice on my phone and when I want to use the camera the mic doesn't work, what should I do?
Hi , I got myself the rode sc4 and the apple lightning cable . But somehow the iPhone 13 is not picking up the sound …
Excellent explanation-thank you. I have one question: is the output jack from most small inexpensive mountable “shotgun” camera microphones TRS ,and if I ever only had a TRRS cable as output from the mic to an audio mixer-PA, will the Apple 4th contact automatically be negated and not effect the signal once it is plugged in? thanks again.

Thanks a lot for the explanation I have a lavalar like this "Rode microphones Rødelink Lav" with a adapter. But it doesn't work with my iPhone 6. Any idea?
Are you using an adapter like the rode sc4 with your rodelink and iPhone adapter?
@@JoelWallis Thanks a lot. Yes i use the SC4. But the microphone is not the Rødelink, but it looks the same.
@@mischugo nice! My bad I accidentally deleted your last response as I am on the road and using the app 🤦 but to use a smartlav plus with your iPhone you will not need to use the sc4 adapter since the smartlav is made to be used with smartphones. You will connect your smartlav directly to your iPhone adapter then to the phone. If you want to use the smartlav with your rodelink then you will need a rode sc3 adapter in order for those two to work together then a sc4 adapter from the rodelink to the iPhone adapter.
@@JoelWallis Oh jeh.... I am totally blind 🙈
My iPhone has a 3.5 connector. An adapter, lightning to 3.5 I do not have (how stupid)
And with my Google Pixel Phone with adapter usb c to 3,5 it does not work. Works only with iPhone ... ha ha
@@mischugo all good :). I think the smartlav is made for the iPhone but I would look into your usb c adapter to see if it is trrs or trs. If it’s trs you might be able to use a sc3 adapter and use your smartlav with the pixel
I just wanna know how you hook up two microphones to an iPhone to make stereo whether I need the TRRS or TRS please get back to me message me I’m blind and I like to learn about it I like to record stereo because I can hear things on the far left and your things on the right I like to record thunder in ambiance stereo with the left microphone pointing far away with the microphone on the right far away apart so I can hear the thunder go around it is so cool
Hi I'm trying to use a splitter to possibly record phone interviews while using a lav mic attached to the other end of the splitter with the h1n is this possible? and do I need trs splitter or a trrs splitter? Or is this not achievable with the h1n? Need help and advice.
will the trs to trs cable which comes with rode wireless go not work with smartphone which has 3.5 mm trrs jack? I mean is it necessary to use trs to trrs connector?
Hello Joel, I have a huge problem and need help, when ever I link my Sony ecm-csm3 microphone to my iPhone usingTRRS Rode cord it doesn’t work, I don’t know what could be the problem.
((I have IphoneX and I use lightning adaptor 3.5 for iPhone))
((Please help🥺))
Hi Adam, which Rode TRRS cord do you currently have? And I assume your Sony ECM-3 connector is the 3.5mm TRS?
I did a little bit of research and it sounds like the iPhone does not provide enough power to the ECM-3 mic.
any good solution for stereo mics?
Thanks. Can you advise what cables are needed between a Zoom H1N recorder and an android phone, using the Zoom device as an external mic?
You will want to use a TRS to TRRS adapter like the Rode SC7 in the link below to convert over for the android. The only concern I would have with using the H1N is its output from the headphone port is line level and traditionally with smartphones you would want to use mic level due to the difference in db levels. In theory it should still work but using a device with mic level would be preferred. www.dvestore.com/rode-sc7-3-5mm-trs-to-trrs-patch-cable/?aff=8
Hi..I am 50 plus and not tech savvy..
I had a J5 samsung phone which my set of 3 logitech speakers worked well with a trs 3.5 connection.
I just bought a samsung S20 that wont put sound to the speakers..Will a trs to trrs adaptor sort the problem?🤔
Hey there, it sounds like you would want to use a part like the Rode SC6 in the link below to be able to bring an input into the phone while still having the headphone jack output. www.dvestore.com/rode-sc6-dual-trrs-input-and-headphone-output-for-smartphones/?aff=8
I really am a expert on sounds if you put the microphones too close together it does not sound good it sounds like it’s in the middle and it doesn’t you don’t get the wave sound around you put the microphones apart pointing farther right and the left one on the farther left you get more surround sound
Somewhere in a parallel universe, Apple have announced that the new, improved iPhine has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone socket so you don't need an adaptor to use headphones/mic and charge at the same time.
Hey Joe.. how did you set up the iPhone to pick up the audio from the Rodes audio cable and not from Iphone's built-in mic?
It’s a plug and play if you are using the right cables and/or adapters
YO ! Great video, I accidentally bought the Lavalier Go and thought it was TRRS, had no idea that the iPhone doesn't accept TRS. Doesn't make any sense.
Thanks man. If you can return it you will want to get the rode smartlav plus and then use your Apple adapter otherwise you’ll need to using something like the rode sc4 adapter for your lav go and iPhone adapter
@@JoelWallis u think I would be able to do an xlr to 3.5mm trrs? I won't have phantom power but it should still sound good right? Thinking about getting the new Sony Xperia 1 III when it comes out and connect a mic to the 3.5mm jack. A lot of ppl record CZcams videos with their iPhones... Sony should do better lol. Just wondering what mic I should connect
None of the links work. All "404 Not Found"
Can't you just use lightning male to 3.5mm trrs jack cable?
Typically those Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapters still are TRRS.
@@JoelWallis Thank you for replying! I have tried the lightning male to 3.5mm TRRS jack cable but it didn't work. Is it because I didn't use the adapter?
@@fbwnsan if you are using a trs mic then yes you will still need to use your lightning adapter and in addition the trs to trrs adapter.
Also, I have an iPhone 13 pro max
