MICROPHONE JACKS AND SIMPLE ADAPTERS OR CONNECTORS, TS, TRS to TRRS FOR SMARTPHONES OR CAMERAS REVIEW.
These 3.5 mm microphone jacks look the same, and when you are starting out with video and audio, they can be confusing, because there are three different jacks, the TS, TRS and TRRS, with now a 4th - you can guess the TRRRS!
In this video, I show you the differences between the TS, TRS and TRRS jacks.
The TRRS is the one you will likely use most often in your smartphone or in many cameras.
All those Ts, Rs and Ss make them sound scientific and complicated but "T 'stands for tip, "R" stands for ring and "S' stands for sleeve.
This video shows you how to distinguish between these different microphone jacks and what adapter you will need to allow a TS or TSR microphone jack to work in your TRRS slot on your smartphone.
For a more detailed explanation of other microphone jacks and adapters and you would like more technical detail of voltages etc , Curtis Judd has a great review - • Will That Microphone W...

I am so glad that you took on microphones! They are so important and there are so many specifications to manage. Focusing on adapters and connectors was especially key. Thank you!! I would love to see you address the basic video lighting issues in your videos and then document this for your channel subscribers.

[@SueFerreira75]

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Hang tight -Teleprompters and Lighting are scheduled in the coming weeks! 😀😀

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Loved these tips on microphone jacks and simple adapters. Thanks for sharing your beautiful knowledge.

[@SueFerreira75]

Thank you, Professor Heather Austin. I love that video today has become so simple, but there are still quite a few details worth sharing.

[@BudgetVideoAsia]

Very good audio. Your explanation is simple and genuine. Keep it up. I was enlingten after watching this video. Loved it.

[@strongmitconny1706]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly the kind of info I needed for teaching with my wireless mic (which has a TS jack) and recording my voice on my phone. :) Very well explained !

[@aileeneakins53]

You are welcome - so pleased my video helped you!

[@SueFerreira75]

And yes, there is a TRRRS adapter too, but it is not popular at the moment and only used on some Sony products. The message of this video is count the rings and make sure you have the correct adapter for your device!

[@coolflex1]

You really break this down in simple form, thank you sooo much!!

Im trying to find a microphone to phone adapter for ts adapter microphone

[@jeffchristianson-ziebell7727]

Wow awesome video! PACKED with truly valuable info, exactly what I was looking for with all these mics I’ve ordered on Amazon, ZZOUNDS, AMS & Wish ($2 ones on Wish that produce same sound as $99 ones btw but had to order several to get the few that were equal to brand... again from Wish or Geek) I truly appreciate how thorough, simple and quickly you explain things in a logical manner. Made learning a breeze accordingly! Subscribed and hope you gain countless more. You definitely should for sure, We need more like you on KZbin! Thank You & Cheers from Madison, WI USA!

[@LakesideTable]

So helpful!!! And I love your delivery :) You really break it down so this tech-y stuff is understandable

[@SueFerreira75]

Thank you, Lakeside Table. You have made my day! My whole mission is to banish the Techy Terrors, make all simple and understandable, so everyone can move forward and feel comfortable, using these amazing tools we have today.

[@IAmSamBearfoot]

This is so bloody good! Nicely broken down lovely, great video 👌🏼

[@SueFerreira75]

Thank you, Sam Bearfoot! Your comments are gratefully received and you made me chuckle!! 😀😀

[@lassievision]

Just the information I was looking for

[@user-ey7pp2fz5j]

Sue, hi Hope all ok. Just found your wonderfully helpful videos, so thanks very much. I just purchased a Boya M1DM and am having difficulty working out how to get it to work in my iPhone 6. Can you advise please? The Boya already has a TRRS plug I believe, but when I plug this directly into my phone it shuts off the audio from the person I am calling. Do I have to have the earphones plugged in to hear them then? In which case, I will need another way of plugging the headphones in, as the mic is using that port. Is it possible to use an adaptor that will allow me to hear them without headphones? And how can I tell the mic is connected to my phone? Thanks so much. Sorry for all the questions, but all of this is very new to me. All best Tim

[@Developmentthatpays]

What a cracking video! Jam-packed with info - and beautifully presented.

[@SueFerreira75]

Well, thank you, Development That Pays! My aim is to simplify and clarify.

[@livs-iago]

[@JS-lx9fi]

I'm trying to plug my trrs lapel mics into my trs camcorder. I used a trrs to trs adapter cable but it still does not record sound. What am I doing wrong?

[@MartinesPastries]

Good to info on Micros, keep it up!!

[@SueFerreira75]

Thanks. Martine's Pastries! I will.

[@kabirsuman1070]

Very helpful, Madam. Thank you so much.

[@SueFerreira75]

Kabir Suman, you are welcome 😀😀

[@JohnOssipinsky]

What was the adapter you mentioned that can be used for both TS & TRS to adapt to TRRS? You didn't mention it in your guide. Thanks

[@SueFerreira75]

Hi, there has been a profusion of these adapters in the past year or os, but this one should work - amzn.to/2PBpUZ6

[@BerniceTaylorFitness]

Very well done!

[@SueFerreira75]

Thank you, 50something original. Tech is not a natural love for many women, so I love to simplify it. 😀

[@bymatallana]

thank you Sue, it would be nice if you fix the focus on you and thank you for the information!!!

[@bobrov69]

thnx

[@SueFerreira75]

You're welcome!

[@jeremiahtugbobo4140]

Good job with the information, it was really helpful. but you need to work on your video focus in future videos, your face was totally out of focus while your background was out of focus

[@Benoynelson]

sorry to say that mam the camera is not so focused well.

[@jonathanfriedman8343]

Not “jacks”. They are plugs!
