The MXL MM-CABLE-1 is designed to connect select dynamic XLR microphones with smart devices using a 3.5mm TRRS mic input. The cable offers a female XLR connector on one end and both TRS and TRRS 3.5mm options on the other end, allowing this cable to work with a wide range of cameras, smartphones, tablets, computers, and more.
Most smartphone apps will detect the external microphone immediately, so in most cases you can simply plug in your mic using the male TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) connector and you're ready to record (if the app does not detect the microphone, consult the app's instructions). The female TRS connector works with DSLR/mirrorless cameras, audio recorders, and other devices wired with a tip-ring-sleeve 3.5mm plug.
