UPDATE: I feel a little dumb, but finally realized you need TRRS, not TRS. Using the correct cable solves the level and noise issues described in my original review! So now I’d say this is a great value if you want the most compact audio input for an iPhone.
My use case was a little different than the intended dual microphone set up. I wanted a small and easy way to get a stereo line-level signal into my iPhone from my computer’s audio interface. The first issues I had were user error as I assumed you needed mono TS 1/8” cables, which were causing issues with the signal where I could barely get any level. After realizing I needed a TRS stereo cable I got much better level but there is audible noise in the signal. Amazingly neither Amazon’s support nor RODE mentioned this detail.
However, the real problem is that low and medium settings still clip the signal when even when your input is only at about 50%, while the high setting adds too much noise. You’re left with a cleaner, but low volume signal or a noisy, but high volume signal. So I couldn’t find a way to adjust my gain staging to get a good clean signal. I’ll admit this could be an impedance issue since these inputs are expecting a mic level signal, so maybe you’d be fine for it’s real intended use.
On the other hand the Roland Go:Mixer, which I just bought for close to the same price, has tons of clean gain, with more input options and physical gain controls. The downside is it’s larger and not as pocketable.
For example, there are some lav mics that are designed specifically for use on a smartphone. The SC3 will let you use these microphones on your DSLR or Mirrorless cameras that have a 3.5mm mic jack.
Anyway, it works as intended and it's reasonably well built. I've used the adapter successfully with my Nikon DSLR and with an assortment of outboard audio recorders. Order two because you will lose this thing.
I knocked off one star due to the spotty availability here on Amazon. In fact, as I write this it's out of stock. Seem like a cheap enough part that they could keep enough of them in stock....
