RODE SC3 Reviews

Expensive, but it works.

Expensive little adapter, but it does the job to connect my SmartLav mic to a Zoom H1N recorder. Cable is pretty thing, but it's the same thickness as the cable on the mic.

I didn't realize until after I bought the lapel mic that you need this adapter if you want to record on anything other than a smartphone.

This is a nice and short adapter. It helps keep your cable short and it also works perfectly. The right angle is very useful for me.

Was trying to use a rode trrs mic into a zoom h4n and did not work.

Does the trick!

I needed this adapter urgently to pair a Rde smartLAV with a Zoom H1. It does the trick without being too cumbersome like a lot of other adapters. I was able to mic up my interviewee and slip the H1 in his pocket seamlessly.

Does anyone know where I can find something like this, but with a long, coiled cable? Thanks!
Asked by: Lin
For longer coiled cables that are similar to the Rode SC3 3.5mm TRRS Female to 3.5mm Right-Angle TRS Male Adapter Cable, you may like the Rode SC7 3.5mm Right-Angle TRS to 3.5mm Right-Angle TRRS Coiled Adapter Cable (B&H # ROSC7) which is 6.7" long and has male TRS and TRRS connectors. As another option, the Hosa Technology CMM-105C 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male Coiled Cable (B&H # HOSMMSMMC5) is 5' long and has two male TRS connectors. Please contact us directly through live chat or by phone and we can help you to find the right cable for your application.

What's the difference between this adapter and the SC4 version?
Asked by: Erik
I own two SC3 adaptors and use them with a pair of Sure MVL lav mics and a pair of Roland R-07 recorders. The SC3 is TRRS female to TRS male, the SC4 is TRS female to TRRS male. The SC4 is for sending stereo mic signal to a phone, the SC4 is for sending phone type mics to a camera or recorder. See the data sheets provided on rode.com for more details.

Will this work as a right angle extension for my headphones? I have a camera that is shoulder mounted and do not want to add strain to the headphone cable
Asked by: Miguel
The Rode SC3 adapter is for converting TRRS signals to TRS. For what you are trying to do, you want to use something more like BH #HOASMMRASMF

question

Is this cable compatible with the Polsen OLM-10 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone?
Asked by: Jared L.
This cable is not compatible with the OLM-10. If you are interested in connecting this mioc to a smartphone or tablet, the Rode SC4 adapter would be required.
