The smartLav+ Two Person Lavalier Interviewer Kit for iOS Devices from B&H contains everything you need for recording high-quality interviews using your iOS device. The kit includes two Rode smartLav+ Lavalier Mics, a SC6 Dual TRRS Input Adapter and HPC-A30 Closed-Back Monitor Headphones.

RODE SmartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones with TRRS Connections

If you're looking for a compact, easy-to-use lapel mic that plugs right into a phone's TRRS jack, the Rode SmartLav+ is the microphone for you. This mic offers a broadcast-quality sound in a tiny form factor, and can record to many phones and devices that offer 3.5mm TRRS connectivity.

No controls are on hand, which streamlines the process: simply clamp the mic to your subject (or yourself), plug the mic into the phone, and start recording. The mic will work with any app that records audio, including the built-in iOS Voice Memo App—but when you pair it with the iOS Rode Reporter APP, you'll have access to a wide array of mixing, editing, and exporting tools. Perfect for electronic field production, run-and-gun news reporting, or simple mobile vlogs, the mic comes with a windshield, a durable clip, and a Kevlar-reinforced cable.

Note:
For devices outfitted with iOS lightning ports, the SmartLav+ can make the connection using the standard TRRS to Lightning adapter kit, available separately.
Great for the Field
The mic is easily hidden, but it offers an omnidirectional polar pattern that ensures you'll get an even sound at any angle of address. This makes it great for run-and-gun sound pickup.
Handy Includes
The included windshield protects against plosives. The clamp makes mounting the mic a cinch. The cable is durable, being reinforced with Kevlar, so you won't find it breaking on you in the field. When you're done, store everything in the included carrying pouch.
Easy to Use
The mic offers no controls and operates in the analog domain. This makes operation a breeze: simply plug it in and play. There's no software to install to make it compatible with your phone-unless you want to achieve extra functionalities, such as the ones highlighted in the next feature.
Compatible App
The SmartLav+ is compatible with any audio app that accepts input from the headset connection; however, it has been designed to pair perfectly with Rode's Rec app for Apple iOS devices. Rode Rec turns the user's iOS device into a fully featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalization presets to suit various recording situations, in addition to professional editing functions and the ability to publish to SoundCloud and Dropbox direct from the app.

RODE SC6 Dual TRRS Input and Headphone Output for Smartphones

The RØDE SC6 Dual TRRS Input and Headphone Output for Smartphones is an input/output breakout box for smartphones and tablets. It has two TRRS inputs and one stereo headphone output. It connects to any TRRS device, such as your smartphone, and allows you to use one or two smartLav microphones while providing a headphone jack for monitoring and playback. Use it to monitor audio from the smartLav and input two smartLavs into the mono channel in interview or dual-dialog applications.

Polsen HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones

The HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones from Polsen offer a solution for experiencing rich and natural sound when listening to music through a mobile device or monitoring a podcast on your computer. These headphones can also be used for DJ work, thanks to the swiveling earcups that let you monitor audio while keeping one ear free.

The HPC-A30-MK2's over-ear design isolates the sound and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions in loud environments, such as a club or on the go. The 10' cable also gives you the freedom to move around while working and terminates in a 3.5mm TRS stereo plug, which is compatible with most mobile devices and computers. In addition, a stereo 1/4" adapter is included to plug into a stereo or mixing board.

Mobile
The HPC-A30-MK2 headphones deliver a rich sound for listening to audio on a mobile device. Whether you're listening on a smartphone, an iPod, or a tablet, these headphones deliver detailed sound even in noisy environments.
Over-Ear Design
The over-ear design isolates sound in loud environments and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions. This design is good for listening to music on a busy street, and for DJs who need to monitor their audio in a noisy club.
DJ Applications
The headphones are suitable for DJ applications and include a tuned bass response for low-end clarity. The pivoting earcups are ideal for one-ear or on-the-shoulder monitoring. A padded headband offers to keep you comfortable during a lengthy session.
Broadcast and Podcast
The headphones allow for monitoring audio on a laptop or in a home studio as well as recording a vlog on a smartphone.
Swiveling and Rotating Earcups
If you're a DJ who likes to keep one ear free, you can swivel one of the earcups for on-the-shoulder monitoring. The earcups also rotate 90° so you can turn one of the earcup outward for one-ear handheld monitoring.
10' Cable
A headphone cable that's too short is almost like sitting on the sidelines—you can't be part of the action. If you need to move around while you work, the 10' cable will allow you to move about freely.

Does this work with the regular headphone jack to lightning adapter for an iPhone 7?
Asked by: Lorenzo
Hello Lorenzo, yes it does. The lightning adapter for the iPhone 7 is a TRRS connection as is the SC6 from Rode. In the case that you only need one SmartLav+ you can store the SC6 and plug the SmartLav+ in directly to the apple adapter.

Is the Rode SmartLav compatible with iphone 8?

Is the Rode SmartLav compatible with iphone 8?
Asked by: Kelly
Yes, but you'll have to use your lightning converter that came with your phone. I have two Rode SmartLav's and I used mine with my iPhone 8, then my iPhone X and now my iPhone 12 Pro. I host an Amazon Prime travel show called "Places to Go" and it is the lav that you'll see clipped to my shirts except I also have the TRRS to TRS converter so that I can use it with non-phone recorders such as the Sony PCM-A10 used for most of the filming.

question

(This question is in regards to the Rode Rec app.) How much free storage space would I need on my iPhone to record approximately 30 minutes of audio?
Asked by: Anonymous
Output in multiple formats including WAV, MP3, AIFF, AAC, Apple Lossless, FLAC and more. The memory used will be dependent upon the codec used. So recorded in standard Apple file format at 128kbps will yield a file size of about 28MB which is .028GB.

question

Will this mic work when it's directly plugged into a Zoom H1?
Asked by: Dan
The Smartlav+ features a 3.5mm TRRS connector not directly compatible with standard audio recorder inputs. An adapter such as the Rode SC3 is required.
