SC7 - 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Microphone Patch Cable - Open Box

The SC7 is a high-quality shielded patch cable, designed to allow the RODE VideoMicro or other microphones to connect to TRRS compatible devices such as the iPhone or Galaxy or Pixel. The gold-plated contacts are colour coded, with grey indicating the TRRS output. The cable is colour matched to the red TRS to TRS cable that is supplied with the VideoMicro, and is easily fitted by inserting the TRS (black) jack into the rear of the microphone and the TRRS end (grey) into the smartphone or tablet.

RØDE SC7 TRS to TRRS Patch Cable — Plug a Pro Mic Into Your Phone, No Recorder Needed

The gist: A $9 coiled adapter cable that turns a professional TRS microphone into a direct smartphone input — a low-cost upgrade for remote workers and content creators who want interview-grade audio without a dedicated recording device.

Professional-to-smartphone bridge: Connects any TRS microphone output to a TRRS smartphone headphone jack — works with iOS and Android devices.
Gold-plated connectors: Minimizes signal noise and oxidation compared to generic cables — audibly cleaner for voice-intensive recordings like podcasts, tutorials, and interviews.
Coiled cable, 170–400mm: Extends to comfortable recording distance without excess slack; right-angled plugs minimize stress on ports during desk use.
Color-coded for zero confusion: Black plug = microphone, grey plug = phone; straightforward to connect correctly even when rushing to set up before a meeting.

B&H Photo lists the SC7 as the standard companion cable for RØDE on-camera and wireless microphones, noting its role in smartphone-based professional audio production workflows.

Best for: Remote professionals who want to use a lapel or shotgun mic directly with a smartphone for quick, high-quality audio on video calls or recorded content. Skip it if: your smartphone no longer has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Runs around $9 (Open Box) — check the current price before buying.
