The SmartLav+ is a versatile Lavalier microphone designed to be connected to mobile devices and computers using a 3.5mm TRRS connection. However, most modern computers do not come equipped with a 3.5mm TRRS port, which can pose a challenge for users looking to utilize this high-quality microphone with their desktop or laptop.
To overcome this, you can use the SC3 (TRRS - TRS) adapter to connect the SmartLav+ to an audio interface or Mixer. This adapter converts the 3.5mm TRRS connection to a more commonly used 3.5mm TRS connection, allowing you to plug it into an audio interface that can then be connected to your computer via USB or other ports. This method ensures that you can use the microphone effectively for recording or communication purposes.
Alternatively, you can connect the SmartLav+ directly to a dedicated microphone input on your computer using the SC3 adapter. In this setup, the computer will control the audio input, which may require you to adjust settings within your operating system or recording software to achieve optimal sound quality.
