Learn how to use an external microphone on your iPhone with a simple adapter cable which will allow you to hook any 1/8-inch or 3.5mm jack microphone into your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or even your MacBook. This cable is required because the iPhone and other Apple products are built using a TRRS type port which combines headset and microphone connects into one plug. You can’t simply plug a 3.5mm microphone straight into an iPhone or iPod and expect it work.
The video also warns against buying and using a certain lapel mic that doesn't work with Apple devices. At the end, there is a driving test with and without an external microphone attached to an iPhone 5S.

Thank you. 0:40-0:57 is exactly what I needed to learn. That explains it all, and I can't believe every other web site and video that tried to explain the problem didn't just explain what you did here. Thank you again.
Didn't know about the adapter for ipad, thanks;)
Omg thanks so much! My Irig pre is working now after I installed that recording app
Great! I'm glad the video helped!
What recording app i have the same plug and nothing works with it
Can you use headphones and mic at the same time?
Thank you! It was a bit hard to find what was needed for an ipad!
This adapter also works if you have a newer iPhone or iPad that doesn't have a headphone jack, using the optional iPhone headphone adapter. Or to streamline the process, and bypass the adapter you can also use a rode smartLav+ and go direct in.
thank you this helped with my grandson's ipad he would call but I could not hear him he will be so happy he was very sad because I was not able to hear him he is 5 1/2 thank you again keep up the good work.
You’re welcome! I’m really glad my iPad video helped your grandson! Thanks for watching!
Been looking around youtube for some time now on how to work with my BOYU lavelier, just at the beginning of this vid I already got my answer! THANKS SO MUCH!
Excellent information and presentation. Many thanks,
Ben
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
You solved my issue trying to broadcast from my DJ mixing board to my iPhone. I ordered the cable so hopefully it shall work!
Excellent! I hope the solution works out when you get your cable delivered!
TheRenderQ It did! Perfectly. Was able to do a 1 hour stream from a Denon MCX8000 controller at 256 kbps AAC without issue. I think videos like yours are extremely under-rated. Just 10 years ago this would have involved me on the phone with Apple or Denon to find the solution.
Hey thanks man. Never thought to use the earbuds mic that came with the phone.... a little piece of foam over it and it should block wind noise!
Nice! I'm glad you now know that you can use your earbuds to record your voice! If you've ever seem many videos where someone is interviewing another person over Skype or something, you almost always see them using earbuds and they're using it to talk and listen to the other person online.
I just spent the better part of my day trying to find this info. THANK YOU so much for explaining it so simply and thank you for this channel. I subbed you for future reference.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the information helpful! There are quire a few videos out there that don't quite explain using an external mic on an Apple device correctly!
YES I found that out LOL.... now maybe my blood pressure will go down to where it was BEFORE I started looking for this info :o) Be Blessed and thanks again so much!
How can i use the earphones that came on my phone and get the sound out of the speakers ?
I have the same problem, i bought clip microphone so i can get better quality because my wireless headphone have shitty mic
Thanks... was wondering why it wasn't working! Much appreciated. But don't change lanes in an intersection, ok? :)
Ha ha! You know that I still remember from driver's ed way back that they did tell me that you shouldn't change lanes in an intersection. I don't do it often but when I do I always think back to my driver's ed class!
This turorila that i need thanks men
You're welcome! I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
Can you please please make an update on this Video because I don’t have an app like this and this app isn’t existing anymore! Please help me!!!
Hope this works ! Ordered it for my iPhone 6s not recognizing my Sony mic
It should work! I own several TRRS adapters and have used them on many phones, computers and Xbox controllers for mic input.
Thank you very much... Really helped.
Hey! I'm really glad the video helped!
This was helpful thank you !
You're welcome! I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH THANKS SO MUCH! GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Excellent! I'm really glad to hear you found the video helpful!
What if your mic already has a four section plug-in point
I think in that case, the microphone is smartphone ready. There are mics on the market that are designed to be used with smartphones and tablets. However, if you have an old mic lying around that only has 3 sections on the 3.5mm plug, then you'll need the adapter shown in the video. Thanks for your question!
MentalBruv
Ikr
wow 😀😀
Mine only has one section
TheRenderQ I have connected the TRRS cable as well, I can hear with the headset, but it doesn’t recognise my external mics.
Many thanks, this solved my problem as to why I couldnt get my external Mike to work, Thanks!
You're welcome! I'm really glad you got your external microphone working on your iPad! Thanks for watching!
does this method work for recording video
Yes, it should work for capturing audio when recording video.
Sorrane I do not no
I have the adapter. It is the correct one. It doesn’t work with iPhone 6S. Please help
Sorry you're having issues with the phone recognizing the external mic. Try this... unplug everything and shut off the recording app. Then connect the mic and optional headphone to the TRRS adapter. Last step is to plug the TRRS adapter into the iPhone and launch your recording app. Sometimes all the cables on the TRRS adapter need to be connected before plugging into the phone. I still occasionally run into an issue with the phone recognizing the external mic but I always eventually get it working. Hope this helps!
TheRenderQ doesn’t work
Hi and thanks. I found your video very helpful.
Its not showing in headset mic its showing inbuilt mic please help me
Any way to interview a person on iphone call with external lavalier mic and listening the guest thru ear buds?
Would it work recording a conversation, while using the phone? That is using the ear/mic buds that came with the iPhone8. The only apps I can find that will record longer than 2mins have a cost with them.
You could use the earbuds that came with the iPhone 8 to record with it's inline mic. But if you're having a conversation then your voice will come out more clearly because it's closer to your mouth. You should be able to record longer than 2 minutes with a recording app. There are lots of free apps you can download that have extended recording times. However I've never really tried to record more than 2 minutes with these apps so maybe you are correct about the recording times. Hope this helps!
It didn’t work with Iphone 8, when I plug it in the Output switches to USB audio. Can you help??
Same. Please let me know if you figure it out
Wwwwww.thanks you for your advice.
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
my other mic (i have 2 and the other one is, i believe it comes with a trrs connector since it has 4 sections but it still cant record sounds
There are mics that are made for mobile devices that are wired as TRRS with the 4 metal sections on the 3.5mm plug. Not sure why your TRRS mic doesn't work. Have you tried it on other devices? It should work on a MacBook, PC laptops with only one 3.5mm port and Android phones.
@@TheRenderQ yes it does work in any other devices except the iphone
but ok i just found out why
thanks btw
Thank you so much
You're welcome! Thanks for watching my video!
I've heard this solution before but I got a lightning lapel mic because it was supposed to work too. Is there anyway to use the lapel mic without defaulting to headphone mode? I would think the lightning connector would be able to tell the difference...
Very helpful thanks!!
You're welcome! I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
quick and informative. thx!
Thanks! Your comment made my day!
Thanks for posting this video, TheRenderQ. Instead of a microphone, might I connect another audio source to the microphone receptacle on that Y-cable adaptor? I want to take audio from an Apple-Mac laptop's headphone socket, and send it directly into my iPad's microphone input. I need to do that, to stream that audio thru the iPad's bluetooth, which can pair up with my hearing aids' bluetooth receivers. My Signia hearing aids have bluetooth receivers that can pair up with my iPhone or iPad, when running Signia's "Live Listen" iOS app. The purpose of the "Live Listen" app is to use an iPad or iPhone as an additional wireless microphone. For example, to place next to someone making a presentation, in a noisy room.
As far as I can determine, my hearing aids cannot directly pair with the bluetooth transmitters in any Apple-Mac laptop. The versions of bluetooth are incompatible.
Right now, I make an acoustic connection. I plug ear-buds into the laptop, and place the buds next to the iPad's microphone, while the iPad is running Signia's "Live Listen" software. Of course, if I use that Y-cable adaptor, I cannot be sure if Signia's "Live Listen" software will recognize and work with the change in microphones. I have older iOS devices with earphone receptacles, an 2015 iPhone 6s Plus and a 2014 iPad-mini.
I have a four section plug and it works when I’m just watching UA-cam but when I’m recording it doesn’t work
It’s not helping at all.. how can I change the output into headphone???
I have the adapter piece for my iPhone 6s but my microphone is still not working. Can u help please
Sometimes I find that I have to unplug everything and shut down the recording app. Then reconnect all the cables together first. Then final step is to plug the TRRS adapter into the phone/tablet. Restart the recording app and see if the device recognizes the external microphone. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ I'll give it ago...I'm trying to record on garage band with my mic...when I hook everything up the mic still doesn't work it still reads off my phone...if that makes sence.
TheRenderQ I still have nothing I’m stumped. 😥
Will this work on an iPad Pro if it has the little hole that’s used for headphones? It also has the lightning charger for charging and also where you can put the newer headphones. But I want to utilize the hole to do recording with my lapel mike and still keep the charging part open for charging my iPad. Do you think this will still work, the device you speak about in your video?
Yes! The TRRS adapter will work on your iPad Pro if it has a 3.5mm headphone port. If it’s the newer iPad Pro with only a USB C port then you’ll have to add a USB C to 3.5mm adapter in addition to the TRRS adapter. I used to have a OnePlus 6 smartphone that only had USB C and I used both adapters to make an external mic work. Hope this helps!
TheRenderQ it looks like my lapel mike is old though. It has one groove or indentation in it at the head and then one small black line. I bought it to sync up with my court reporting software in 1999. It’s an old one but I spent like 200 or something back then. Can you send me a link to one you think will work with it?
do we need to turn on dB on on the external microphone? 0ff, 0dB or 10 dB? what are the difference?
Esssentisl info, thank you !
Thanks, good job man!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
I have a 4 section and that’s my only one
so once you use the adapter you can plug in to iphone /ipad/mac? But is the sound quality good? Also do you have to use a recording app or do you just plug in and speak and the sound comes out of your device?
I have to learn how to use the Mike with iPad video at the same time. The app I downloaded does not show me how to do this. Any advice? Have to film a testimonial using iPad and want decent audio so bought Mike but don't know how to launch together at same time. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thx
You are AMAZING!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the vid.
You're welcome! I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
I got the same connector fron your video and i ordered it it appears not to work with ipad air 2 for some reason i cant get it to look at it as a mic/headphone input what software did you use towards the end it looks like liveengage but its only for iphone not ipad or is the right app
Good information 👌🏻👍Cvisuali
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
I want to connect a binaural microphone called the 3dio free space pro to my iphone 6s plus, do you think this would work?
Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
So what do I do if my iPad don’t use the microphone on my headset?
Hello. I got that StarTech device, but plugged into my iPhone 6, the phone doesn't recognize the microphone. I'm at a total loss.
Michael Bell
Mine too same problem my iphone 6s don't recognise mic it says only builtin mic
@TheRenderQ Can I be able to get some sort of microphone adapter for my iPod?
and if so will it allow me to download social media on my iPod?
Will it work if instead of a microphone, I connect my iPad with another device using a male to male connector to record sound from that device to the iPad ?
Yes! You can connect something other than a microphone to your iPad/iPhone using the TRRS adapter to capture audio. I've used it to record a digital piano keyboard. Just watch the audio output levels from the device you are connecting to the phone.
Nice vid! I have the trrs adapter and when it’s plugged in and I make a sound near the iPhone it picks it up but when I’m near the bm-800 it doesn’t pick up anything? Any advice ?
It sounds like your iPhone is still using using it's built-in mic instead of the external mic for some reason. Doesn't the BM-800 need phantom power? Are you supplying power to your mic? However, if you have the TRRS adapter plugged in, it should disable the built-in mic and not record any sound. You're sure that your adapter is a true TRRS adapter? At this point, that might be the issue but not completely sure.
Same for me
Is there a link to the app? Can't find it on AppStore
Yes! Here is the link to the audio app I used in the video:
Recorder Plus : voice record, audio editor
I tried to connect my headset (with microphone) to my iPad and they got 4 section in case point and the microphone still not working I can only hear from the headset
Sounds like your headset mic should be working on your iPad since it has the correct connector. Often I have trouble even connecting a mic using the method shown in the video. A lot of times it doesn't work the first time. So I usually have to unplug everything and shut down the recording app. Then reconnect the mic and then restart the app. I always get it working eventually. Hope this helps!
Thanks
You're welcome!
Does the splitter allow for two way... i.e. If my headphones are plugged into the out, it works in unison with the external mic or does the iPad/iPhone only do one activity at a time?
When you’re recording with a headphone and mic connected to the TRRS adapter you will not be able to hear what you’re recording through the headphones. Typically you’ll have to stop recording and then playback your audio. Although I think a few years ago someone had a more professional paid video recording app on their iPad that if I remember correctly I was able to monitor audio during recording. So it is possible but the functionality has to be included in the app you’re using. However I can’t remember the name of that app.
@@TheRenderQ it worked to a degree... but the recording of the music was awful... so we get to do the show in real time and I added in a new music track in post... the Mic / headphone splitter does work though and then in the lineout from the H6 turn the guests level to zero so they don't hear themselves twice... more trial and error to follow to get this right :)
What if I want to use headphones at the same time?
You can have headphones and mic plugged into the TRRS and it will work like a headset. You can record with the mic and then listen to the audio or video you recorded afterwards. However, monitoring the audio while recording can be problematic. Not all apps support monitoring audio through the headphones during recording. There is one video recording app that I recently used that supported audio through headphones while recording but I can't remember the name of the app at the moment. It was on a friend's iPad. But it's nice to be able to monitor audio while recording because it gives me assurance that audio is coming through so I can fix audio issues before they become a bigger problem. Hope this helps!
Awesome thanks
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
thx bro
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Can you suggest any way to use an iPhone as an amplifier for teaching in the classroom situation? I do not need to record, just project my voice in a room full of teenagers. Thanks for any advice. Susan
There are some apps in the App Store that I think that can do that for you. I did a search for "use iPhone as PA microphone" and got some names of apps that could work. What I'm looking for is an app that can take your voice and use Bluetooth to send the signal to a connected Bluetooth speaker. That way you can amplify your voice. I haven't found an app that can do that yet but your question makes me curious on how to do this too! Sorry I'm not that helpful at the moment but at least maybe I gave you a direction to follow.
I have a problem where my mic works on all my family’s iphones except mine,it usually gives a green light with them but it gives a red light,any solutions? :(
So this will work on iPhone 6s?
Yes! Using the TRRS adapter will work for connecting an external microphone to an iPhone 6S.
Thank you so much man appreciate it!
for some reason this cable my iphone 6 plus s does not detect it
Sorry you're having problems getting the microphone to work. This has worked with all the Apple devices I've tried it with and it works on Android as well. The only thing I can think of is whether the adapter cable you have is the right one that splits the input for both headphones and microphone.
Hi there
I would like to use 2 external microphones with my iPhone, for interviews.
Can you tell me how and which one should I use?
Thanks a lot and best wishes.
Adriana
This adapter cable might work for dual mics on the iPhone: amzn.to/2auf3fm
It is similar to the one in my video except that there is no headphone jack. Both ports are for the microphone. I've never used it but from the reviews it seems that people are having good luck with it. Hope you find a solution!
I have blue tooth earphones with a microphone on it but it won’t work. My phone won’t let me use the microphone on my blue tooth earphones. Anyone know how to fix this problem
If you want to use headphones with the mic will that work as well? If there both plugged in at the same time?
+jaslewis04 Yes! The headphones will work at the same time if you are using the adapter in the video. For example, if you had the adapter plus a mic and headphone plugged in, it would work as a headset while making calls.
The Neewer mics are stereo and the mic input on the adapter is mono. Also, the Neewer mics require phantom power - they are condensor type w/ no internal battery. This might explain why most of them didn't work.
+Beatles Guitar Secrets Thanks for the explanation!
My lavier has 4 parts but does not work this is so frustrating is there any way you can help me
is there anyway to make it work? ii have the takstar sgc 598 shotgun mic and bought an adapter like this with a headset jack and an earphone jack but it wont work due to the same problem im guessing. but im trying to find a way to make it work.
Again, that's a stereo mic. Just Google "stereo mic into iPhone or iPad".
Useful vid
Great! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Is it ok if you switch audio sources while recording(plugging in the cable while recording)?
I'm sure it will be ok if you unplugged the first source and plugged in another audio source. The only thing that might be an issue is that you'd hear some sort of pop or static right when you plug it in. Hope this helps!
How do I do it now?
Im trying to connect a takstar sgc-598 to my iphone 5. I have a TRRS adapter, but the 2 inputs aren't labelled as headphone or mic. I plugged the adapter anyway into my phone, then the actual mic into either end, but the recording app still used the built in mic when I tested it. maybe it's the adapter that's the problem, but im not sure.
+DIYnellie It might be your adapter. The one's I've seen always have a mic and a headphone icon stamped onto the separate ends. Is it possible that you are just using a headphone splitter?
Hi, I have an iPad mini 1 and I have an adapter but the iPad is still saying that it's using the built in mic on the iPad... I know that there's a solution out there but I just don't know it. Any ideas... Thanks and great video
Just make sure that the adapter you're using is a TRRS adapter. Stereo Y-splitters look exactly the same and they won't work. I have seen instances where the iOS device won't recognize the mic in the adapter. In those instances, unplug the TRRS adapter from the device, plug in the mic to the input with the mic symbol. Then plug a set of headphones into the input with the headphone symbol. This creates a complete headset. Now plug the TRRS adapter into your device and launch the app. Also, try turning on and off the device and see if that causes the app to recognize the mic input. Hope one of these solutions helps!
Can u do it without the adapter
An external microphone will not work on an iPhone or iPad without the TRRS adapter. That's just the way these devices are wired. The 3.5mm port has internal contacts for headphone and mic but the TRRS adapter is the only way for the mic to be recognized on the Apple devices.
May i know why when i use the exactly same method and wires as yours, its worked on android phones, but its doesn't work on iphones? Thanks !
On iPhones it works but sometimes it doesn't and I can't exactly explain why. Sometimes a set of headphones needs to be plugged into the TRRS adapter too. When I find that this setup doesn't work on the iPhone, I'll usually unplug everything and shut down the app. Then I plug the mic and headphones into the TRRS adapter first. Then plug the TRRS adapter into the phone and launch the app. If this doesn't work sometimes I'll restart the phone. But eventually I get it working. Hope this helps!
I want to record sound into the Ipad Pro. I prefer a headset because the mic is right in front of the mouth and I prefer a USB headset because I heard there is less sound distortion. What adapter would I use for this?
You'll need a USB to Lighting adapter like this one: amzn.to/2xvHvvf
I haven't used it before but I saw one of the reviewers say they connected their Blue Ice Snowball USB mic and using it with Garage Band with this adapter. So if you have a USB headset, this adapter would probably work. Hope this helps!
This adapter will work for a iPhone 6 +?
Thanks..
Yes, the adapter I used in the video will work for connecting a microphone to an iPhone 6 Plus. Thanks for watching!
TheRenderQ does it work for iPad Air 2 and can u use professional mics that are like 200$?
Can i also use headphones at the same time?
m3kbeatz I’m gay
I bought an Insignia "Camera-Mounted Shotgun Condenser Microphone" from Best Buy and connected it to my iPhone 6 with a StarTech adapter that I got from Amazon, but whenever I try to record a video with it, I hear a patterned clicking noise during playback instead of clear audio. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this problem?
One thing to try is to plug in a set of headphones on the adapter port that has the headphone icon on it before plugging the TRRS adapter into your iPhone 6. Does that mic use batteries? I'm sure you have fresh batteries in it. Is there a gain setting? I have a problem like this on a set of Sony wireless mics and haven't been able to figure it out with that either. Hopefully you get the issue solved!
I also just looked at my adapter jack an it’s a trs does that make a difference
It does make a difference. The adapter has to be a TRRS adapter or it won't have the right connections internally to connect to the mic contacts inside the phone. I think many people think the TRS adapter is the same but the internal wiring doesn't work for external mics. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ thanks yip I got me a trrs cord now but still not working I think it might be the mic its a cheap one..
Does it work with BM800?
does that adaptor work for using an external mic and headphones with FaceTime?
Yes, the adapter should work with an external mic and headphones with FaceTime.
If I put an external microphone using this adapter on my mini iPad, and set it like a "hub" enabling "hey siri" (keeping it plugged on a charger)...can I use voice commands to control HomeKit devices ??
I'm not sure about being able to use "Hey Siri" with your home automation. I haven't tested it. But the adapter will definitely allow audio input to your iPad through an external microphone.
I tried this entire set up with my iPad (that same brand and model splitter adapter and same app) I’ve had no luck. It won’t pick up any sound through the external microphone and I can’t get any audio to come back through the headset. Any suggestions?
Sometimes it doesn't work for me on the first try. I'll have to unplug everything and then plug it all back in and then it works. Also shut down the recording app and relaunch after everything has been plugged back in. Hope you get it working!
But now can i record using camera app on my iphone and it will use the external mic?
Using the TRRS adapter, you can record audio with an external microphone during video recording. You would need a 3.5mm lavalier mic or a stick mic so you are more portable. But using the method shown in my video will allow you to shoot video and record better audio with an external mic. Hope this helps!
What if the microphones jack does have 4 sections?
If the microphone jack has 4 sections, I believe it is a TRRS mic and is probably designed to work with smartphones. In that case, you will not need a TRRS adapter. You are all set!
I have this adapter but iPhone still doesn’t recognise mic
I occasionally have this issue also. So what I do is shut down the app and unplug everything. Then make sure the mic is plugged into the TRRS adapter's mic port, then plug the TRRS adapter into the phone. Now laugh your recording app and try it again. Sometimes it helps to have a headphone or earbud plugged into the headphone jack of the TRRS adapter. Hope you get this working! If you have MacBook, you can also test it on there and see if the MacBook recognizes the external mic.
TheRenderQ thanks I will try thid
TheRenderQ thanks I will try this
one last question for ya.......I know ALWAYS one last question 😉 what would I need to connect my Yeti mic to this unit. Seems like I need one more adapter to connect the Yeti's USB plug to this unit correct? so my techie friend, what would that be?
I think you'd need a Lightning OTG cable to be able to plug in a standard USB device to your iOS device. I'm not completely sure this will work but you'd be able to plug the Blue Yeti to your iOS device with this cable: amzn.to/2y39wwz
Will this work for microphones that are battery powered?
+trigerhiger It should work as long as there's a 3.5mm plug on it.
Hello I got the adapter that you recommend. Is fine for audio only but when I do videos nothing?? Just the cell phone just uses the cell Mike why?? Can you please help?
It's possible that the recording app you are using is causing this problem. Another viewer found that out and they downloaded another recording app and it started working for them. Another possibility is that the app has a setting where you can select internal or external mic for recording. Also can you try this on another friend or family member's phone to see if it works? Last thing is to be sure your adapter is a true TRRS adapter. Stereo Y-splitters look exactly the same but are wired differently internally. Hope this gets you in the right direction!
I am so impress you actually responded, I am going to check all of the above, I did checked with my daughter cell phone and nothing, need to do the rest, if you don't know mind can I keep you bothering you. I have a Moto G love the video quality I was hoping I can improve on the audio quality as well. Thanks so much again. Lizy
One other option is a mic that plugs directly into the phone. There are some mics that are already wired as TRRS on the 3.5mm plug. Here's a video I did for a small shotgun mic from Comica that is really compact with no extra wires to dangle off your phone: ua-cam.com/video/kk3JMle9FaM/v-deo.html
TheRenderQ thanks again for responding so quickly. I am going to return 2 mice and the adapter as none worked with my moto G. Hope is not the cell I love the video quality ony cell phone. I will try the Comica as per your recommendation. Thanks sooooo much.
Hi, I would like to know if this adapter work for laptops (specifically HP Chromebooks)?
I only have android app for my tablet and my phone so that I can sing with the piano and write a music notebook from Ez Voice because I love singing.
Does lavalier external microphone work in garageband in iphone???
I don't have much experience with Garageband but with the TRRS adapter you can also use a lavalier with your iPhone. The TRRS adapter is the main thing you need to allow audio input into your iPhone or iPad. Hope this helps!
TheRenderQ I used boya BY M1 mic which have TRRS adapator ...but it didn’t worked 😟
Yeah that mic looks like it will work because it has the correct adapter. Can you record from the mic using the built-in Voice Recorder app? Or will it record your voice when shooting video? Just seeing if the mic works in other apps. If so, there might be a setting in Garageband for audio input.
TheRenderQ Noo it didn’t worked with any built in app in iphone ...Infact it worked pretty well with android in all apps.
So if I have the mic plugged in and ready with this adapter and I start recording a video, will the volume recorded with my video be recorded with the mic?
Yes! Your voice will be recorded while recording video when the mic is plugged in with the adapter. I think I need to make a video explaining this since you're not the first one who has asked this question! Thanks for watching!
My ipad is not recognising my BM800 microphone
Thanks for letting me know what's happening with your connection! Since the BM800 is an XLR mic there could possibly be a cabling issue depending on the type of XLR to 3.5mm cable you're using. I addressed that problem in another video I made here: ua-cam.com/video/v_0Xw0Fzrgk/v-deo.html
Even though I used an iPhone in that video, the information should still apply to iPads. Hope this helps!
will this work on android?
Will the iPad recognize the external mic when plugged it? So far, nothing. Can anyone comment? Thanks
