question

Can this mike be connected with a computer for voice over recording?
Asked by: Sergio
The MKE-440 is designed as an on-camera stereo microphone. Connection to a computer may require an adapter cable depending on the computer model. For computers that share a jack for both mic and headphone the Rode SC4 adapter is required. https://bhpho.to/2hINvaL

Will the newer iPhones work with this and a lighting adapter?
Asked by: Anonymous
No. The mic is stereo with a trs plug, the iphone lightning adapter is a trrs connector intended to input a mono mic and output stereo headphones. Besides the plug mismatch there may also be an impedance or level mismatch as the Sennheiser is a powered mic. You may be able to find a specific lightning adapter that will address both issues but read the specifications carefully.
