Using TRRS to TRS Adaptors
When it comes to using mics with a 3.5mm jack, such as lavalier microphones, you need to pay close attention to what kind of output your microphone has and what kind of input your recording device has – specifically, whether they are TRS or TRRS.
TRS/TRRS incompatibility is a very common reason for microphones not working with certain devices. These jacks look very similar, but with LENSGO products we’ve made it easy to identify what type of connector your microphone has but colour-coding them: all TRRS connectors are grey, so they can be plugged directly into computers and mobile devices; all TRS connectors are black, so these can be plugged directly into regular audio and camera equipment.
If you already own a microphone, but it’s incompatible with your recording device, don’t worry – there are a range of LENSGO adaptors that allow you to use a TRS microphone with a TRRS device and vice versa.
