I still haven't figured it out either. After reading on-line discussions, I thought this cable would do the trick. I was trying to hook my 40-year old Sony lav mic (ECM55) with its XLR connection TO an intermediate cable that converts the 3-pin XLR to a 1/8" mini plug TO the mini-jack on the SC4. Nope, it didn't work. I'm giving up and going to use a wireless Rode Go mic. Maybe the old analogue stuff just isn't meant to work with iphones (8 plus in my case).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can't speak to your iPhone issue as my experience is only with MacBook. In most laptops with a "headset" jack, the "sleeve" part of the Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve plug is the microphone signal. This adaptor simply abandons the Tip and first Ring on the TRRS plug then connects the second Ring to the Sleeve of the other end jack (Ground) and connects the Sleeve to BOTH Tip and Ring on the other end jack. Note that the jack is a TRS device NOT a TRRS device. The end result is that you can feed LOW level stereo audio into the microphone input of your laptop. Don't be trying to feed headphone signal into the microphone input!!! That's about a 500X voltage mismatch. Bad. Bad.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to use an Apple adapter in conjunction with it. You need an in and an out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Did not work with iPad Air 2 either. Did not work as I was led to believe. Would never buy another product from them.
