A:AnswerThis is not the device you want. This Dynex Splitter handles output only, so it allows for two earbuds, headphones, speakers or audio devices to play music out of one source. It is not an input splitter so your mic will not work with this device. Sorry :(
A:AnswerAll this product does is plug into the audio input, and split the audio to two inputs. As long as your headphone jack works, this product will work just fine.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, no. I purchased this splitter with the same intention, since I wanted to use it for a microphone I had purchased and my laptop has a "combined" port that doesn't handle mics. I found out on receiving the splitter that it is an output splitter only, so it plugs into the 3.5mm jack and allows for two headphones, earbuds, speakers, or audio output devices to be plugged into one source. It does not handle input, so it will not split mic and audio. Sorry :(
A:AnswerThis is only a splitter not an adapter, this is only used to split an audio single for use on two headphones, what you're after is an adapter that combines the audio and microphone into one jack which look a bit longer than normal 3.5mm jacks.
A:AnswerIn viewing the image, it does not appear to be any style of slim or low profile plug, so it may not be sized any differently. I would suggest taking the iPad Air into the store for them to help fit it correctly.
