SC4 - 3.5mm Female TRS to Male TRRS Adapter Cable

RØDE SC4 TRS-to-TRRS Adapter — Quick Mic-to-Phone Connection for Remote Interviews

The gist: A shielded 3-inch adapter that connects any professional TRS microphone to a smartphone's TRRS port — the simplest way for remote workers and freelance interviewers to upgrade phone call and mobile recording audio quality.

• Mic-to-mobile bridge: Connects external TRS microphones (VideoMic, interview mics, lapels) to iOS and most Android TRRS headphone ports — no app or driver required.
• Shielded cable and gold contacts: Reduces interference and corrosion — maintains clear signal quality for professional calls and podcast recordings from a smartphone.
• Right-angle plug: Angled design reduces port strain when recording with a clamped or mounted phone — useful for tripod-mounted phone setups during client interviews.
• ~$5 per unit: A low-cost, permanent addition to a mobile work kit — pack two and you have a spare.

RØDE developed the SC4 to extend their VideoMic range to mobile workflows, enabling “crystal-clear audio” for on-the-go recording without requiring a dedicated audio interface.

Best for: Freelancers, remote interviewers, and career coaches who conduct phone or tablet-based interviews and want noticeably cleaner audio with a TRS microphone they already own. Skip it if: your device lacks a 3.5mm TRRS headphone/mic port (most newer iPhones and some Androids) — a USB-C or Lightning audio interface is the correct solution.
