SC3 Female TRRS to Male TRS Adaptor Cable

RODE SC3 TRRS-to-TRS Adapter — Professional Lavalier Mic Integration for Video Productions

The gist: The standard RODE adapter for routing TRRS lavalier microphones (smartphone-standard) into professional camera and audio recorder TRS inputs — a small cable that unlocks professional mic use in production environments.

• TRRS-to-TRS signal conversion: Routes the TRRS smartphone mic signal cleanly to a 3.5mm TRS camera input — enabling production-grade lavalier mics like the RODE smartLav+ to work natively with professional camera rigs.
• L-shaped right-angle camera connector: The angled TRS plug sits flush against the camera body, reducing cable wear and preventing accidental disconnection during talent movement in interview or corporate video scenarios.
• Gold-plated contacts for professional reliability: Corrosion-resistant plating on both connector ends maintains signal integrity across repeated connection and reconnection cycles typical of daily professional use.
• RODE production ecosystem compatible: Functions as the standard adapter within RODE's microphone lineup for any TRS-input camera integration, documented in RODE's official cable configuration guide.

RODE's official cable and adapter guide lists the SC3 as the designated adapter for connecting TRRS microphones to TRS camera inputs, confirming its role in the professional RODE audio ecosystem.

Best for: Video producers, corporate video shooters, and interview videographers using RODE TRRS lavalier microphones with cameras or audio recorders that have 3.5mm TRS inputs. Skip it if: Your production uses XLR audio connections (the SC3 is 3.5mm only) or if your camera's 3.5mm port is TRRS-compatible (eliminating the need for a conversion adapter).
