SC4 - 3.5mm Female TRS to Male TRRS Adapter Cable

RØDE SC4 TRS-to-TRRS Adapter — One Tiny Cable That Unlocks Mobile Field Recording

The gist: A 3-inch gold-plated adapter that lets any standard 3.5mm TRS microphone (RØDE VideoMic, Sennheiser, etc.) plug directly into a smartphone or tablet's TRRS headphone jack — the missing link for mobile travel vlogging and field interviews.

• Universal TRS-to-TRRS conversion: Bridges the gap between professional microphones and mobile devices — works with iOS and most Android smartphones that have a 3.5mm TRRS port.
• Gold-plated contacts: Shielded cable and gold connectors maintain signal quality and resist corrosion on humid location shoots.
• Right-angle TRRS plug: The angled design reduces torque on the phone's headphone port when the phone is mounted on a tripod or gimbal.
• ~$5 price point: Eliminates the need for a dedicated recorder or interface just to record cleaner mobile audio in the field.

RØDE designed the SC4 specifically to pair their VideoMic range with iPhones and Android devices, enabling “crystal-clear audio” from a professional microphone directly into mobile recording apps without adapters or dongles.

Best for: Travel vloggers, mobile journalists, and solo creators who attach a TRS shotgun mic to their smartphone for interviews, vlogs, or voice-over on the road. Skip it if: your phone uses USB-C or Lightning without a 3.5mm TRRS port — you'll need a digital USB adapter instead. Runs ~$5 — check the current price before buying.
