Product Information

Full details

The RØDE SC7 is a shielded patch cable for users connecting RØDE microphones with a TRS output (like the VideoMic GO or VideoMicro) to devices with a TRRS input, such as smartphones and tablets. Its key benefit is enabling high-quality audio capture on mobile devices. A caveat is its specific TRRS compatibility, meaning it won't work with standard TRS inputs on cameras or audio recorders without an adapter. This coiled cable offers plug-and-play simplicity and features gold-plated connectors for reliable signal transfer.

FAQs

What is the difference between TRS and TRRS?

TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) has two black rings and typically carries stereo audio or mono audio and ground. TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) has three black rings and can carry stereo audio, a microphone signal, and ground, which is why it's common on smartphones for headset jacks.

Can I use the RØDE SC7 with my DSLR camera?

No, the SC7 is designed for TRRS inputs found on smartphones and tablets. DSLR cameras typically have a TRS microphone input. You would need a standard 3.5mm TRS to TRS cable for camera use.

Will this cable work with any smartphone?

It is designed for smartphones and tablets with a TRRS-compatible 3.5mm jack. Most modern smartphones have this, but older models or specific devices might differ. Always check your device's specifications.

How long is the RØDE SC7 cable?

The cable is coiled and has a length of approximately 0.17 meters (170mm). It can extend slightly from this coiled state.

Is the cable shielded?

Yes, the RØDE SC7 is a high-quality shielded patch cable designed to protect against electromagnetic interference for a cleaner audio signal.

What RØDE microphones is this cable compatible with?

It is designed to connect RØDE microphones that have a 3.5mm TRS output, such as the VideoMic GO and VideoMicro, to TRRS devices.

Troubleshooting

No audio recorded or microphone not detected by the device.

Ensure the grey TRRS connector is fully inserted into the device's headphone/microphone jack. Verify that your recording app is configured to use an external microphone. Check that the TRS connector is securely plugged into the microphone.

Audio quality is poor, distorted, or has static.

Check that the cable is not damaged and the connectors are clean. Ensure the cable is fully seated in both the microphone and the device. Try a different recording app to rule out software issues. Confirm the microphone itself is functioning correctly.

Microphone works with one device but not another.

TRRS jack configurations can vary slightly between manufacturers. Ensure the second device explicitly supports external TRRS microphone input. Consult your device's manual for compatibility. You may need a different adapter or cable for that specific device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables professional microphone use with smartphones and tablets.
  • High-quality construction with gold-plated connectors.
  • Shielding reduces interference for cleaner audio.
  • Simple plug-and-play operation.
  • Compact and coiled design for portability and ease of use.

Cons

  • Only compatible with TRRS inputs; requires an adapter for standard TRS inputs.
  • Limited cable length (0.17m), which may be too short for some setups.
  • Specific to connecting TRS microphones to TRRS devices; not a universal audio cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert the 3.5mm TRS connector (typically black) into the output jack of your RØDE microphone (e.g., VideoMic GO, VideoMicro).
  2. Insert the 3.5mm TRRS connector (grey) into the microphone/headset input jack of your compatible smartphone or tablet.
  3. Ensure your recording application is set to use the external microphone input.

Compatibility:

  • Microphone Input: Designed for microphones with a standard 3.5mm TRS output.
  • Device Input: Specifically compatible with devices featuring a 3.5mm TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) input. This is common on most smartphones (Apple, Android) and some tablets.
  • Not Compatible With: Standard TRS microphone inputs found on cameras, DSLRs, audio recorders, or computers. For these, you would need a standard TRS to TRS cable (like the one supplied with VideoMic GO/VideoMicro).

Care:

  • Store the cable in a dry place, avoiding extreme temperatures.
  • Gently clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, especially near the connectors, to prolong its life.
