Rode SC4 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Microphone Cable Adaptor, 3 Inches

Wow, this is great! I have a laptop that has the combo Line-In/Microphone input. It only wants to record though on the Microphone channel. I have an E-Drum set and it has a headphone jack for output. It wants to output on the left/right channels but not the microphone channel. I had bought a 4 band cable and while the laptop saw that a microphone was plugged in, no sound really came through. My iPod on the other hand worked great in this setup, sending to the laptop. Conversely, the iPod did NOT see that a microphone was plugged in using this 4 band cable so it wouldn't record either. I stumbled upon this adapter and bingo. Everything simply works! I take my normal stereo 3 band cable, plug it into my E-Drums headphone jack, then attach this adapter. My laptop now records the audio via the Microphone channel and my iPod Touch does as well. Simply brilliant.

I purchased this item to utilize a boom microphone with an Android phone during live streams on YouTube. The adapter is made with solid rubber coating and quality materials. A very easy plug and play adapter. I now have the ability to utilize a boom microphone with my smartphone which has made a big difference in sound quality for our live streams. I have had this product for quite some time now and it still works great. I would definitely recommend the SC4 due to the fact that is made with high quality materials and it has performed well every time I have used it. - Dad's Den Reviews "Work Smarter, Not Harder"

When I first purchased this product, I bought it to go in my desk in the living room. I have a bamboo shelf and bamboo office organizer. This charging station fit with that décor perfectly. It would keep all the products charged neatly. But I could not use it on that desk because it is the public desk my children use. The product is sturdy. The product does charge multiple products at a time. It is very organized. However, it can’t charge my children’s products because my children’s phones and tablets are covered with protective cases like OtterBox. This stand will fit some of the models out there. We are a techie family so it will fit five of my devices and an Apple Watch or FitBit. I do love this product….for me. I have supplied photos showing a iPad 3 in a plain red case, an iPad Air2 in a white ZAGG keyboard case, and a Kindle Fire without case. No phones are pictured because I am using mine for the photo and my children’s will not fit. If you look close enough, you can see that red case is a thin cardboard like material covered in vinyl. It even has wear on the end. It’s not a hard shell. There is no keyboard on that case. If I drop it, I am out of luck. If I am in a hurry, I can lay it over 2 slots and if I pay close attention, I can squeeze it in that slot just right. But, it does take focusing. Is it necessary to remain in a case in order to charge it? It really isn’t. But, part of being organized is making things convenient. If I had left this charging unit on the desk it was originally purchased for, my kids would have used the ports in front of it and stuffed paper in the slots in back. This would have been my new mail organizer/phone charger.

Until I bought a VideoMic Pro, I didn't know phones, tablets, and some PCs require TRRS pinned Mic inputs. And, that most most Mics are TRS. TRRS is a 3-striped pin vs. TRS which has 2-strips. TRRS does both headphones & Mic. TRS is just Mic. This isn't super well documented. I paid a ridiculous price a 2" piece of wire, it works, but it's very flimsy. If anyone knows of a cheaper, more reliable TRS-TRRS adapter, please leave a comment. What I also learned after trail & error is, Samsung beats the pants off iPhone on Mic inputs. I have/use both phones... When I plug the VideoMic Pro into the Samsung Note 5, it works great w/zero gain. To get it to work on the iPhone, I have to set the Mic on +20gain. I have an (non-battery powered) Olympus clip on Mic that won't even work on iPhone, it barely sees a waveform. I works fine on the Note 6 with this adapter. My thinking is if need a Mic away from the Video camera (e.g. GoPro or GH4), I can use the Samsung as a remote Mic, and bring the sound into a multicam clip. I'm taking off 1-star because this thing is so cheap for the price, I'm afraid it'll break. Either make the cable thicker or just make it a solid elbow connector. At the risk of being repetitive, If anyone knows of a cheaper, more reliable TRS-TRRS adapter, please leave a comment.

It does as it is advertised to do

Awesome products

This little cable is perfect. I shoot about 10 YouTube videos per week but my camera (Cannon Rebel EOS T3) does not have an audio input port so I have to record my audio on my iPhone. I have used this cable with both an iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 6 and it has worked great with all of them (I use RODE's free recording app to record the audio). The mic I use with this cable is RODE's VideoMic Pro. I would definitely suggest this cable (or anything from RODE) to a friend.

This review is for the Rode SC4. Unfortunately, Amazon lumped several different products together (as is common). The SC4 is a great little piece of wire, and I do mean little wire. Being a Rode product, the connectors are top quality, although I doubt this carries the 10 year warranty like their mics. As you can see in the photo, the two ends are different colors to remind you what plugs in where. There are also and small etched designs on the collars as well. The jury is still out as to wether gold plating makes a sonic difference or if it's just for bling, but these have it. I bought this for use with several mics I have; Shure VP83s, Giant Squid Lav and an AT Stereo mic and several "i" devices. The cable works great and I've had no issues with it. However, the gauge of the connecting wire is suspect. I've never seen a wire in captivity this thin, and I question how long it will hold up. I'm not overly abuseive to my equipment, but will a tug in the wrong direction be the death nail for this $15 product? I wonder if just cob inning the two connectors into a solid piece would have been a better design choice? I understand the reason for thin wires (at times) to minimize rumble in a boom pole, or whatnot, but I don't see why that would be a choice for this design. Only time/accidents will tell how the wire holds up. As a side note, I bought this mainly to use in tandem with my Giant Squid Lav. Two things; First, the cost of the Giant Squid and this adapter is less than the Rode Smart Lav alone (the Squid is a better lav). Secondly, you essentially get two mics in one as the Squid can be used just like then Smart Lav (when using this adapter), however by itself you get a quality mic to use with devices taking a TRS connection. One star ding for the wire and another for the price. Seems like they could have sold this for at least $5 less. Hope this was helpful. Keep it real and keep the gain low.

Really handy bit of kit. It connects straight away and works exactly as it should—no fuss, no signal issues. Audio comes through clean and consistent, which is what you need when using a mic with a smartphone. Build quality feels solid as well, typical of RØDE. One of those simple but essential pieces that just works.

Der RØDE SC4 3,5 mm TRS auf TRRS Kabeladapter ist ein praktisches Zubehör für Nutzer von Mikrofonen, die das TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve)-System verwenden und es an Geräte anschließen möchten, die den TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve)-Standard unterstützen, wie Smartphones, Tablets oder Laptops. Das Adapterkabel ermöglicht die optimale Verbindung zwischen Mikrofonen und Geräten, die mit einem TRRS-Anschluss arbeiten, und sorgt für eine problemlose Audiowiedergabe. 👍 Vorteile 1. Einfacher Adapter für TRS auf TRRS Der SC4 ist ein schnell einsatzbereiter Adapter, der keine zusätzliche Software oder Treiber benötigt. Einfach das TRS-Ende in das Mikrofon und das TRRS-Ende in das Smartphone oder Tablet einstecken – schon kann man mit dem Mikrofon auf Geräten mit TRRS-Anschluss arbeiten. Es ist ein Plug-and-Play-Adapter ohne komplizierte Installationen. 2. Gute Audioqualität Das RØDE SC4 sorgt dafür, dass die Audioqualität zwischen Mikrofon und Gerät ohne hörbare Verluste oder Störungen übertragen wird.

Robust und langlebig Der Adapter ist hochwertig verarbeitet, wie man es von RØDE erwartet. Er ist aus robustem Material gebaut, das den täglichen Anforderungen standhält. Gummiummantelung und fest sitzende Stecker tragen dazu bei, dass der Adapter auch bei häufiger Nutzung nicht so schnell verschleißt. 4. Kompatibilität mit verschiedenen Geräten Der Adapter ermöglicht die Verbindung von Mikrofonen mit TRS-Anschluss an TRRS-kompatible Geräte, einschließlich Smartphones, Tablets und Laptops. Besonders nützlich ist der Adapter für den Einsatz von professionellen Mikrofonen (z. B. Lavalier-Mikrofone) mit mobilen Geräten oder Aufnahmegeräten, die nur einen TRRS-Anschluss bieten. 5. Kompakte Größe Das kompakte Design des Adapters macht ihn ideal für unterwegs. Er lässt sich einfach in einer Tasche oder einem Kamerazubehörbeutel verstauen und ist somit praktisch für mobile Aufnahmen. Die 1 Meter Länge sorgt für genügend Bewegungsfreiheit, ohne dass das Kabel zu lang oder unhandlich wird. 👎 Nachteile 1. Begrenzte Funktionalität für Geräte ohne TRRS-Anschluss Der Adapter funktioniert nur mit Geräten, die über einen TRRS-Anschluss verfügen. Nutzer, die ein Gerät ohne TRRS-Kompatibilität verwenden, müssen sicherstellen, dass sie entweder einen TRS-Adapter für diese Geräte haben oder ein anderes Kabel verwenden, um eine Verbindung herzustellen. 2. Preis Obwohl der SC4 Adapter von RØDE hochwertig ist, könnte er für Gelegenheitsnutzer etwas teurer erscheinen als ähnliche Adapter von Drittanbietern. Der Preis ist jedoch gerechtfertigt, wenn man die Langlebigkeit und die hochwertige Verarbeitung berücksichtigt. 3. Mangel an zusätzlichen Funktionen Der SC4 ist ein relativ einfacher Adapter ohne Zusatzfunktionen wie Lautstärkeregelung oder Mikrofonsteuerung. Für Nutzer, die erweiterte Funktionen benötigen, könnte ein komplexeres Setup mit einem Mixer oder anderen Steuergeräten notwendig sein. ⭐ Fazit Der RØDE SC4 3,5 mm TRS auf TRRS Kabeladapter ist eine hervorragende Lösung für alle, die ihre TRS-Mikrofone an Geräte mit einem TRRS-Anschluss wie Smartphones, Tablets oder Laptops anschließen möchten. Er bietet eine einwandfreie Audioqualität, ist benutzerfreundlich, robust und kompakt, was ihn zu einem perfekten Begleiter für mobile Audioaufnahmen macht. Obwohl der Adapter für Geräte ohne TRRS-Anschluss nicht geeignet ist, ist er für alle, die mit TRRS-kompatiblen Geräten arbeiten, eine zuverlässige und praktische Lösung. Die etwas höheren Kosten im Vergleich zu Drittanbieter-Adaptern werden durch die Langlebigkeit und die hochwertige Verarbeitung von RØDE gerechtfertigt. Empfohlene Zielgruppe: • Podcaster, YouTuber oder Vlogger, die mit Smartphones oder Tablets aufnehmen • Professionelle und Hobby-Tonaufnahmekünstler, die Lavalier-Mikrofone verwenden • Reisende, die eine kompakte Lösung für mobile Audioaufnahmen suchen
