Rode SC11 Y-Splitter Cable - Black

Yes, if your smartphone has a 3.5mm stereo microphone input and you use an appropriate adapter (e.g., a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter for iPhones or a USB-C adapter for Android phones). Ensure the adapter supports external microphones.

No, the SC11 routes two mono signals into a single stereo input. This means one microphone's audio will be on the left channel and the other on the right channel of a stereo track. For truly independent mono tracks, you would need a recorder with multiple discrete mono inputs.

The black connector is designated for the left stereo channel, and the red connector is for the right stereo channel. This color-coding helps ensure correct signal assignment.

The 0.276m (approx. 11 inches) length is ideal for direct connection to cameras and compact rigs. For setups requiring longer cable runs from microphones to the camera, you might need extension cables or wireless systems.

Yes, if your computer has a 3.5mm stereo microphone input. It functions similarly to connecting it to a camera, sending one mic signal to the left and the other to the right audio channel.

No, the Rode SC11 is a passive cable and does not require any batteries or external power. It simply splits the audio signal.

The SC11 is compatible with RODE's DCS-1 dual microphone mount, which allows two Wireless GO receivers to be mounted side-by-side and connected via the SC11 to a camera.

Ensure both 3.5mm connectors are securely plugged into their respective devices. Verify that the single TRS connector is fully inserted into the camera/recorder. Check the audio settings on your camera/recorder to ensure the stereo microphone input is enabled and not muted.

Confirm that the microphones are connected to the correct color-coded outputs (black for left, red for right) on the SC11. Check your recording software or camera's audio settings to ensure stereo recording is selected and that the levels for both channels are appropriately set.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from debris. Try using the SC11 with different compatible devices to rule out an issue with the camera or microphones.

Utilize the built-in memory wire by gently shaping it to hug your camera setup. Ensure it's not being pulled taut, which can cause disconnections. Consider using cable management clips if further securing is needed.
