The Saramonic SR-C2018 is an Apple MFi Certified Lightning-to-3.5mm TRS audio input adapter cable designed for iPhones and iPads, enabling seamless connection of external microphones, wireless receivers, mixers, or recorders for professional-grade recording and streaming—complete with plug-in power for compatible mics. At just 5.5 inches (14 cm) long and 0.18 oz (5 g), this lightweight, gold-plated connector solution delivers high-quality signal transfer without corrosion, ideal for on-camera video, live broadcasts, or field audio capture (note: audio input only; no output to external devices, and app must support external Lightning audio).

The Saramonic SR-C2018 is a compact, high-performance audio adapter engineered to bridge analog audio sources with modern iOS devices, featuring an Apple MFi Certified Lightning connector on one end and a female 3.5mm TRS jack on the other—perfect for integrating professional microphones, wireless microphone systems, portable mixers, or field recorders directly into iPhones and iPads. It supplies essential plug-in power to battery-free condenser mics such as lavaliers, mini-shotguns, or on-camera models, ensuring full functionality without additional power sources. Whether you're capturing crisp dialogue with a wired shotgun mic during a video shoot, feeding a multi-channel mixer into an iPad for podcasting, or streaming live events via a wireless receiver, the SR-C2018 simplifies setup: just connect your 3.5mm TRS output cable, plug into the Lightning port, and launch any compatible recording, video, or streaming app that supports external Lightning audio input. Built for reliability, the cable boasts gold-plated connectors for optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance, while its ultra-portable 5.5-inch (14 cm) length and featherlight 0.18 oz (5 g) weight make it an effortless carry in any kit. Important limitations include unidirectional audio flow (input to device only; no headphone monitoring or output) and app dependency on Lightning audio support—making it an indispensable tool for mobile journalists, vloggers, filmmakers, and content creators demanding pro audio on the go.
