RØDE SC8 Cable - Black

The RØDE SC8 is a 6-meter shielded extension cable designed to connect RØDE VideoMicro and VideoMic GO microphones to cameras or audio recorders, allowing for greater flexibility in microphone placement.

It can work with smartphones that have a dedicated 3.5mm TRS microphone input. If your smartphone has a combo headphone/microphone jack (TRRS), you may need a separate adapter to convert TRRS to TRS.

The SC8 has two 3.5mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) male connectors.

No, the SC8 cable is specifically designed for 3.5mm TRS inputs and outputs. It is not compatible with XLR connectors.

The SC8 cable measures 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) in length.

Gold-plated connectors help ensure a clean and stable connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation and oxidation over time, which can contribute to superior audio reproduction compared to standard plated connectors.

While it has standard 3.5mm TRS connectors, it is primarily designed and recommended for use with RØDE VideoMicro and VideoMic GO microphones. Ensure your microphone has a 3.5mm TRS output and your recording device has a compatible input.

Ensure both ends of the SC8 cable are securely plugged into the microphone and the recording device. Check that the device's input is configured for microphone input. Test the microphone and cable individually with another compatible device if possible. Ensure the cable is not damaged.

The cable is shielded, but in very noisy environments, interference can still occur. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables. Try repositioning the cable or the microphone. Check that the microphone itself is functioning correctly.

Inspect the 3.5mm TRS connectors for any debris or damage. Gently clean the contacts. If the connector is physically damaged, the cable may need replacement.
