## Description

desertcart.com: Movo MC3 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Adapter - Microphone Adapter for iPhone and Android Smartphones and Tablets : Musical Instruments

Review: THIS WORKS! RECORD FROM AUDIO SOURCE DIRECTLY INTO IPHONE - What I bought this for: I have an iPhone XS with IOS 14.5 installed. I have several old family videos on VHS tape and I want to digitize them without paying a company to do it for me. Putting my iPhone on a tripod with iPhone adapter (both from desertcart), the iPhone remains still enough to record from the TV - and it does it really well - even for long video tapes. When I tried this before, the audio got messed up by the occasional loud car driving down my street, or dogs barking across the street. I tried several times very late at night, but something always interrupted the audio. The only solution to that was for the audio to come directly from the TV headphone jack into the iPhone instead of using the TV speakers and iPhone mic. I used a Male to Male "TRS" headphone cable (from desertcart) - nothing special - it's basically a 3.5mm stereo headphone extension cable with a male connector on each end. Each male connector should have 3 connection points (which is often described as "TRS" - or otherwise referred to as 3 rings. One end of this male to male extension cable goes in the TV headphone jack or your other audio source. The opposite end goes into the female connector of this "TRS to TRRS" device, which you would plug into your iPhone 3.5mm headphone jack. Doing this, you should be able to record audio into your iPhone - but read on if your iPhone is newer that an iPhone 6 series. Note: If your iPhone doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack, you need a "Lightening to 3.5mm" jack from Apple. If using the Apple "lightening to 3.5mm" adapter, there is a connection sequence you have to follow or this won't work. First make sure your iPhone is turned on, then plug the Apple "lightening to 3.5mm" into your iPhone. That has to be plugged in to the iPhone FIRST without anything plugged into it for this to work. Connect one end of your 3.5mm stereo headphone male to male cable into your TV headphone jack if you haven't already done so, then connect the opposite end of the 3.5mm stereo headphone male to male cable into the female end of this "TRS to TRRS" adapter. Then, plug the male end of this "TRS to TRRS" device into the Apple "Lightening to 3.5mm" adapter. Doing these steps, in that order - should let you play audio from your TV (or other audio source) and record it directly into your iPhone using the iPhone camera video app. The audio is recorded in "mono" - not stereo. My VHS tapes are recorded in mono audio. If you are recording from a stereo source, you will need another 2 adapters so that you record both the left and right audio channels into a single mono channel. Those adapters are sold by desertcart. They are: #1: 3.5mm Stereo to Mono Adapter, 2 Pack Gold Plated 3.5mm 1/8" TRS Stereo Male Plug to 3.5mm 1/8" Mono Female Jack. and #2: 3.5mm Mono to Stereo Adapter, 2 Pack 3.5mm 1/8" Mono Male Plug to 3.5mm 1/8" TRS Stereo Female Jack RF Adapter for Radio, Headphone . The first adapter "#1) has a female "mono" socket (and a male stereo plug - and the second adapter #2 has a male "mono" plug and a stereo female socket. You need to plug the male "mono" connector into the female "mono" socket. This leaves you with a stereo female socket at one end and a stereo connector at the other end when these are plugged in together correctly. Now, unplug the male headphone "TRS" stereo cable from your TV (or other audio source) and plug the male stereo plug end of this 2 adapter combination into the TV headphone jack, then plug the male headphone "TRS' stereo cable into the female jack of the 2 adapter combination. That converts stereo into mono so that you get both stereo channels into a signal mono channel. If this seems confusing - I apologize. I'm good at figuring things out - but not always good at explaining how I did it. If you do this, you will need to turn your TV volume down pretty low. Mine is set a 10% and that is perfect for the iPhone. Any louder and the sound will distort or cut out on the iPhone. I tried using a different "TRS to TRRS" adapter and it didn't work. I suspect it was wired wrong or was defective. When I tried again using this MOVO MC3 "TRS to TRRS" adapter, it worked perfectly and I was able to record audio directly into the iPhone using both the Voice Memo app, and the Camera Video app while recording my home videos playing on my TV.
Review: Great, Cost efficient and Effective TRS Adapter. - This simple and cost effective TRS adapter changed the game of my live music recording at home. Instead of using a camera mic and getting variable results, I use a Dukabel Aux cord, into this Movo TRS adapter into the iPhone adapter. Baam! I am recording and it sounds amazing. I will record into my iPhone and IPad like this from now on. Thanks Movo. Who would have thought this simple device would make such a huge difference.

## Features

- COMPATIBILITY: Connect wireless microphones, lavalier microphone, and any other microphone to your iPhone or Android smartphone or tablet
- TRANSFORM YOUR AUDIO: Built-in audio just doesn't cut it. Improve your vlogs, live streams, and more by capturing high-quality from an external battery-powered microphone
- PRO TIP: When using this adapter, be sure to unplug it before listening to the playback. If you don't, you will not hear anything
- IMPORTANT: This product changes a microphone with a 3-ring TRS plug into a 4-ring TRRS plug so it can work with phones, tablets, and other TRRS devices. If you need the opposite, please check the Movo MC4.
