RØDE SC4 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Adaptor, Smartphone

Wonderful adapter!!!!!!!! Wow!I use it to connect my 3.5mm 5v beyerdynamic MMX 330 pro headset to my XLR preamp/high end audio gear.Really sounds amazing with this method. Mic quality is so much better than PC audio mic input.Night and day.In fact I'd put a lot of bad headset mic quality down to bad PC implementation.If you have an Audio interface /outboard gearAnd a wired headset. This is the way to go!

Arrived quickly. Works. Does exactly what I needed it to do. The only slight negative is that it has a clip on that stopped the xlr from plugging into where it needed to plug in, but I just removed the clip and it went on.

Works great without any issues. I can now use with the RodeMicro via XLR interface, which was the original intention and also, as an unexpected bonus, the Hollyland Lark M1 wireless mic, which only have 3.5mm TRS cable.

Does the job it is designed to do, feels well built (if a little heavy), standard Rode quality. Screw lock on the 3.5 mm jack works well, very useful.-1 star for the clip -- very flexible plastic, doesn't feel like it will stay secured to anything for very long. Removed the clip, haven't put it on since -- if I need to secure it I'll use some gaffer tape.

If you want to connect your Rode lav mic or wireless mic to a making desk with phantom power you need this device. I tried to make a lead to block phantom power reaching the output of the wireless go receiver. It worked but did introduce some noise.This device is compact and effective. it comes with a plastic clip attached to you can plug an XLR cable into the adapter and clip it to your belt. This means that there is no weight put on the lav mic. If you are plugging this device indirect into a mixing desk then you need to remove the clip.On the packaging there is a circuit diagram of the device. It does not show that magic happens inside but for a technical person it provides enough information.The XLR output is mono unbalanced. so keep cable runs short or use a DI box to create a balanced out put for longer runs.The input uss a TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) 3.5mm jack plug. Only the Tip and Sleeve are connected.This is fine for the rode wireless go (single transmitter version) as the output of the receiver is present on moth tip and ring.If you are using the Wireless go 2 (dual transmitter version) you will either need to set output to mixed and have both transmitters on the one output. If you want to have each transmitter to have its own output then you will need two VXLR+ adapters and a SC11 TRS Splitter Cable. The receiver would then have to be switched to dual output mode.The photo above show how you would connect a Rode wireless go 2 to a mixing desk using a SC11 TRS Splitter Cable and two VXLR+ adapters.*The receiver used in the photo above is a Rode wireless receiver. It is for illustrative purposes only.

I bought this to record better audio from my DJ Mixer than just placing the phone nearby and recording with the internal audio. This works with my Xone 23 mixer and SGS9 phone. For some reason, probably a setting on the phone, I can't use the record out output from my mixer, my phone pops up with an annoying message saying 'Complete action using' and gives me the choice of pressing 'Just once' or 'Always' with Chrome or Bixby Voice. I have to use the monitor out output on the back of the mixer connected to the SC4 and then into my phone and it works fine. It doesn't seem to matter whether I have the SC4 cable connected to my phone first or not. Audio is much better then what you could pick up from just the phone.
