Product Code: KM-IPHONE-XTRSSee video Description: 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 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
- Condenser microphones (when an external phantom power supply is used)
Types of equipment that will NOT work with this adapter: - Line-Level outputs, like headphone jacks (Use KM-IPHONE-XTRS-A22 for line-level)
- Lavaliere microphones (without batteries)
- Condenser microphones (without Batteries, unless a phantom power supply is used)
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 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.

Product FAQs: Q: Will this adapter work with a stereo mic ?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 is an external phantom power supply required for condenser mics that do not have batteries?A:
All condenser microphones require power to operate. Some condenser mics
supply that power from batteries and some require phantom power from
the device they are plugged into. Since the iPhone cannot supply the
required phantom power, a portable phantom power supply must be used for
these types of microphones.
Q: Can I connect a microphone with a different style connector if I use an adapter?A:
Yes, You can use adapters to connect microphones with 3.5mm or 1/4 inch connectors.
Q: Can I connect two microphones at the same time for doing interviews?A:
Yes, you can use a standard XLR splitter 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.
