Use an external microphone with the iPhone
Authored by: dobm on Feb 01, '10 09:51:31AM

Just as an important note to my last post, the KVC adapter is designed to take a stereo 3.5mm mic and converts to a mono input into the iPhone.

If you are using a Mono 3.5mm plug to start with, you will need a 3.5 mono input to 3.5mm stereo output adapter to use with the KVC adapter, otherwise a mono mic plug on its own will be shorted out and won't work.

Use an external microphone with the iPhone

Hello dobm... Per your last comment (posted on 2/1), you state that a 3.5 mono input to 3.5mm stereo output adapter is needed to use the KVC adapter. I did get the KVC adapter... and now I am ready to search for the adapter you mention... although before I run to Radioshack and ask for this item, I thought I'd search for it on the internet (at least take along a photo/description of what I'm needing). The thing is... all I'm finding in my searches, are STEREO Female to MONO male adapters... such as: http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=118&sku=40632. Is this what I'm needing? I'm a bit confused.

If you're curious to know what I'm hoping to do... I'm hoping to run an Audio-Technica ATR3350 Lavelier Microphone (See: http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATR-3350-Omnidirectional-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B002HJ9PTO... I'm assuming it's a Mono mic)... to my iPhone, using the same App you use... FourTrack. So far, I have the mic and the KVC adapter (and of course, my iphone). So, I most likely will need that 'other' adapter as things aren't working for me... yet. Could I be confused with the female/male description?... or might you have referred it incorrectly. Please let me know... and if you could provide links to the item (anywhere online), that would be helpful!! I would appreciate your response. Thank you!

dobm... I went ahead and went to Radioshack to see if they had anything to what you describe. They did! It was the 274-374 mono-to-stereo adapter (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102690. I took my mic, KVC adapter and iPhone with me. They let me try it out... although NO luck! ??? I'm lost. The only mic that works for me is the headphone/mic set that came with my iPhone... not ideal, as the cord is just so long. :( I'm really curious to know if you have any thoughts as to why this is not working for me. Hope to hear back from you (or anyone else that might have a clue). Thank you!!
