Rode SC6 Dual TRRS Input and Headphone Output for Smartphones

Rode SC6: Two Microphones and Monitoring for a Smartphone

The Rode SC6 is a compact adaptor that adds two TRRS microphone inputs and a headphone output to a smartphone or tablet. On its own, a phone gives you one mic input and no easy way to listen back; the SC6 fixes both, letting you record two people at once and monitor the take in real time. For anyone capturing interviews or conversations on a mobile device, it turns a single-mic phone into a small, capable two-person recording rig.

Two Inputs, One Headphone Output

The SC6 has two 3.5mm TRRS inputs for microphones and one 3.5mm stereo output for headphones. Both microphone inputs are combined into a single mono channel, which is exactly what you want for an interview or two-person dialogue — both voices land on the same track, ready to edit. The headphone output lets you hear the audio as it records and play it back on the spot, so you can confirm the sound is clean before you wrap.

Built for Mobile Interviews

Plug one or two smartLav or smartLav+ microphones into the SC6, connect it to a TRRS smartphone or tablet, and you are ready to record. There is nothing to power and no app required to pass audio, so setup takes seconds. That simplicity is the point: the SC6 keeps a mobile interview kit small enough to carry everywhere while giving you the two-mic capture and live monitoring that make the difference between usable audio and guesswork.

Who the SC6 Is For

The SC6 is made for the journalist, podcaster, or content creator who records on a phone and needs more than one microphone. Use it for two-person interviews, host-and-guest conversations, and run-and-gun segments where carrying a full recorder is not practical. It is the pocket-sized adaptor that lets a smartphone handle a proper two-mic conversation with monitoring.
