Product Code: KM-IPHONE-43F35F Description: This
adapter allows you to connect a standard microphone, guitar or
instrument with 1/4 inch connector to the iPhone/iPad/iPod or other
compatible device for
quality recording. This adapter incorporates passive components which
provide DC blocking/isolation between the microphone input for device
protection, as well as, impedance matching components for allowing a
wide variety of microphones and instruments to be used with the device.
This adapter
works with microphones and instruments that have a mono (TS) or stereo
(TRS) 1/4 inch
connector. This adapter also includes a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack
which allows you to connect standard headphones. The headphones
typically work for playback of recordings and not to monitor the
microphone while recording unless you use a recording app with the
monitoring feature (see FAQ section below for more details).
Types of microphones that work with this adapter:- Dynamic Microphones
- Battery Powered Condenser microphones
- Battery Powered Lavaliere Microphones
- Wireless Microphone systems
- Electric Guitars
- Acoustic Guitars
- Guitar Pedals and effects processors
- Electric Pianos, Drums and other instruments
Types of microphones that will NOT work with this adapter: - Line-Level outputs, like headphone jacks (Use KM-IPHONE-43F35F-A22 for line-level)
- Lavaliere microphones (without batteries)
- Condenser microphones (without Batteries)
Works With: - iPhone 3G / 3Gs / 4G / 4S
- iPad / iPad2 / iPad3
- iPod (all versions)
- Mac Computers with combined headset ports
- Other devices compatible with iPhone headsets. (see compatibility list below)
How it Works:Plug
the adapter into the iPhone (or other device) headset jack and then
plug your microphone or instrument into the adapter. The iPhone will recognize that an
external mic is connected and turn its internal mic off allowing you to
record using the external microphone or instrument. This adapter works with all
audio/video recording apps and other functions just as the internal mic
would.
Plug standard headphones into the headphone jack to
listen to recordings. The headphone jack normally works for listening to
recorded audio only and not to monitor the microphone input while
recording, unless you use a recording app that has a microphone
monitoring feature.

Product FAQs: Q: Will this adapter work with a stereo mic or instrument?A: The combined
headset jack on the iPhone and other devices only has a mono mic input
so you cannot record in stereo. Most recording apps split the mono
signal into both left/right channels when recording so the audio will
play back in both ears. There is a new
stereo microphone product available which will allow for stereo
recording using the docking connector; this is currently the only option
available for stereo recording, Tascam IM2 stereo mic. Q: Why do I need a different adapter for a lavaliere mic that does not have batteries?A:
Lavaliere mics, PC mics and headset mics are typically ECM mics
(electret condenser mics) and all ECM mics require power to operate. If
your ECM mic does not have batteries then you need the –ECM version of
the adapter which allows the iPhone (or other device) to power the mic.
Q: Can I connect a microphone with a different style connector if I use an adapter?A:
Although you can adapt various microphone connectors to work with this
adapter, the XLR connection needs to be hooked up as “Unbalanced” and
most XLR to 3.5mm adapters are balanced connections. You can either use
our XLR version of this adapter, or you can connect an XLR mic to this
adapter by using an XLR to 3.5mm mono (unbalanced) adapter. Q: Can I connect two microphones or instruments at the same time?A:
Yes, you can use a standard 1/4 inch splitter adapter to connect two
microphones which will combine the signals from both microphones into
this adapter. Alternately, you could use a small mixer to combine the
signals from multiple microphones and instruments into this adapter. Q: Why can't I use the headphones to hear (monitor) the microphone while recording?A:
The microphone signal is too weak to be heard in the headphones without
being amplified. The mic signal would need to be amplified by the
software (App) and played back through the headphones live for you to be
able to hear while you are recording. Most recording apps, including
the4 built-in recording apps, do not have a monitoring feature so the
headphones will only work for playback of recordings with these apps. If
you use a recording app with monitoring, like StudioMini or HT Recorder
Pro, then you will be able to monitor while recording.
