This adapter allows you to connect a standard microphone with a 3-pin XLR 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 Dynamic microphones, wireless microphones and battery powered condenser microphones. This adapter will not work with microphones that require phantom power, unless you connect a phantom power supply inline with the microphone.

This adapter also includes a 1/4 inch 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).

Plug the adapter into the iPhone (or other device) headset jack and then plug your microphone 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. 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.

Q; How do I know if this adapter will work with my phone or device?

A; Due to the massive number of new phones, versions and devices being released we are not able to test the adapter with all devices;     however, if your device works with an iPhone headset (headphones and microphone) then this adapter will also work on your device. 

• Test your phone/device with a iPhone headset (perhaps try it with a friends iPhone headset)

              OR

• Look up a new headset for your phone/device and check the compatibility list to see if it is also compatible with iPhone.
