PERFECT FOR USING SENNHEISER G3/G4 MICS FOR IPHONE!

Trying to do film production in the middle of a pandemic is a challenge, to say the least. Which means downscaling crew and equipment. However, using these cables for my iPhone, hooked up with the Rode SC6-L adapter I can use professional grade wireless mics to record audio flawlessly!

Simple Solution

Videographers often need a simple way to connect a professional microphone to a DSLR or Video camera. This adaptor makes the connection easy. A single microphone is connected to both the left and right microphone inputs of your camera. Works with dynamic microphones and microphones that have their own battery power. Will not pass phantom power to the mic.

question

Will this give the proper output level from a mixing console line level aux output to an iOS input?
Asked by: Herring
The Sennheiser KA600i is not designed to connect line level devices to a smartphone. A hardware interface would be recommended for this application.

question

I have bought a used Sennheiser K6/ME66 mic from Amazon and purchased KA 600i from B&H. Now on testing on a simple recorder/iphone/laptop it doesn't work. I intent to order Sony PCM M10 and record bird sounds using the Mic. I may also connect the Mic to my DSLR for recording. I have now ordered a Hosatech XVM 105F cable. What cables would work for the intended setup and give balanced output to both L&R?
Asked by: Gunjan A.
The KA-600i is designed for use with smartphones and will not make the proper connection with a standard mic input on recorder or DSLR. Sennheiser offers the standard KA-600 for these applications. In addition when using either adapter cable you must use a battery to power the K6 module.

question

Hi! I would like to use this with an AVX microport receiver connected to an iPhone (acting as recorder). This haven't worked so far. The AVX puts out the max four bar level. What is the problem?
Asked by: Anonymous
This adapter works with every iPod I have going back to one made in 2008. Audio levels are consistently good. I'll bump up the audio in post production at times. Use a dynamic with a hotter output (I use a Shure SM 63 or VP 64) to get higher input levels on your recordings.

question

What is the pinout on this minijack ?
Asked by: Anonymous
This is a phone connector. I use this to connect my Lapel mic to my iPhone and it works good. You can search for 3.5 mm 4-conductor TRRS phone connector , it will give you all the details of the pin out. Hope this helpsAmar
