RØDE USB Microphones offer the capability to connect to mobile devices via USB connectors for the purposes of audio recording.
In the case of iOS mobile devices that use a Lightning connector, including iPhones, it is required to utilize an MFI (Made for iPhone) certified cable, such as the SC15, SC19, or SC21, to establish a connection between these microphones and the iOS mobile device.
Please note: For iOS devices, you're unable to use these USB devices for phone calls, only for audio recordings.
