Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between TRS and TRRS, and why do I need this adapter?
TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connectors carry stereo audio or a balanced mono signal and are standard on camera microphones. TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) adds a microphone input channel and is the standard used by smartphones. The Boya BY-CIP2 converts the TRS output of your microphone into a TRRS signal that your iPhone or Android device can recognise, allowing you to record professional audio directly on your phone.
Is the Boya BY-CIP2 compatible with my iPhone and Android phone?
Yes. The BY-CIP2 is compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and most Android smartphones that have a 3.5mm TRRS combination headphone/microphone jack. Please note it is not suitable for devices that have removed the 3.5mm port entirely.
Will the gold-plated connectors affect audio quality?
Gold-plated connectors are more resistant to corrosion and oxidation than standard connectors, which helps maintain a stable, low-resistance contact over time. Combined with the high-quality shielded cable, this reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference, resulting in cleaner, more professional audio recordings.
