Review: Trial and error, but the Smartrig Plus slaps. - I went through a lot trying to get what I needed out of this device. I included a video of me looping on the rc 505 right into the digital Dolby app (highly recommended) on my iPhone 7 for some end result reference. I wanted professional sounding audio sent out of all my gear (guitars, mics, loop pedal, etc) while recording video, as well as live social media posts. I started with the Smartrig II. This had some downfalls for what I was looking for. It shipped quickly when I paid an extra couple of bucks. Couple of days maybe. I ran into a few snags upon setting up. The biggest one, no real time headphone monitoring, which was an absolute must for me. The smartrig II only monitors processed sound after recording. Doesn’t fly for looping or a multi instrumentalist. Second, when using an iPhone auxiliary/headphone adapter to plug this baby into your phone, you have to have the actual Apple one or it won’t work. I also struggled with finding apps that would recognize my new mic setup, but this could’ve been alongside the other issues I was having. If you are wanting some apps that will in fact work, Dolby has a good one. Filmic Pro (costs around $20 I think). And I believe Mavis works as well. I like Dolby because it will allow you to make tons of adjustments to your recorded audio and it’s free. I set up a return and bought the Smartrig plus. Shipping was super quick again. This one was a bit more expensive but has some great added perks. Two inputs of course. But real time, in-ear monitoring 👏🏼 Alas. Both have the phantom power which works great. And they both have the option for DSLR (will update when I’ve tried it with my canon rebel t6). As for both devices, getting the gain set right, especially out of multiple inputs into a looper and out that into the Smartrig - little challenging. It took a lot of time to get it to stop hissing, or to get the loud crunch of overwhelming gain to mellow. A little goes a long way and it’s a fine line between not registering your sound or overdoing it. I had to record a sample video over and over again and make adjustments. So once you get it right, don’t touch it. This took hours. Be patient. Overall, this is exactly what I needed. Perhaps including that the cheaper version doesn’t allow real time monitoring in the future. Great product. This changes the game for getting good, simple, music/video performances on your phone. Again, be patient. It will work. And never stop creating ✌🏼
Review: Excellent Value -- Slightly Tricky to Use! - I suspect confusion about how this thing works has led to some frustrations. It has a very nice XLR and 1/4" microphone input jack, so it's capable of working with either XLR or single ended microphones. However, the ONLY output is via a 3.5mm TRRS plug, intended, I gather, to be plugged into your corresponding cell phone jack. It also has a 3.5mm jack labeled as a headphone jack, which might lead one to incorrectly conclude that you can get output from the microphone directly to headphones. In fact the headphone jack is ONLY connected to the TRRS plug, so the only way you'd hear anything via headphones is if whatever device you've plugged the TRRS plug into feeds the audio signal back through the TRRS plug. In fairness, the accompanying manual does more or less say this. Of course most phones no longer have 3.5mm jacks of any sort, making this device pretty much useless as an external mic input for cell phones. But as a general purpose mic preamp that supports a variety of types of microphones it works quite well. Long story short, I just removed the TRRS plug entirely and replaced it with a standard RCA phono plug, connecting the ground to the white and shield wires, and the center pin to the green wire. This allows me to use the device as a simple mic preamp, which it does very well. It appears to have very low noise, and can also support mics that require 48V phantom power supplies, and it has plenty of gain and the capability of adjusting gain. In my configuration, the headphone plug does absolutely nothing, but that's pretty much what it was doing anyway! And you can't beat the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for making phone calls? (to improve audio when the person on the other end is recording)**
A: Absolutely. Phone calls, Webex/Zoom/Teams meetings, etc.

**Q: can it be used in a camera using trrs to trs adapter?**
A: You would have to make a 3mm (1/8") female to TRS 6.3mm (1/4") male adapter cable.  The output from the Saramonic is a hardwired 3mm mono jack.  I have an iphone SE 2nd gen with no headphone jack and I use the lightning/headphone adapter to plug the Saramonic Smartrig into my iPhone to use with a recording an app I downloaded from Apple. I've also used this setup to record video with the iPhone. Since the Saramonic Smartrig has a gain control - it greatly improved the audio on our videos. I was also able to improve audio on zoom calls by using a shotgun mic which required phantom power. It's quite versatile.

**Q: i want to connect XLR shotgun to my android. will this help control auto audio gain?**
A: It should, yes.

**Q: Will this work with the lightning adapter with iPhones that do not have a headphone jack?**
A: Yes, it will.  But monitoring through the headphone output will be app dependant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised

Works as advertised work fine with my iPad. Slight high end hiss in all circumstances. I wish it had a battery life indicator but other than that it does work as advertised And well worth the money.
