The RODE SC7 is a purpose-built coiled adapter cable that bridges the gap between professional microphones and modern smartphones. It features a right-angle 3.5mm TRS male connector for your mic or wireless receiver on one end, and a right-angle 3.5mm TRRS male connector for your iOS or Android device on the other — making it the ideal accessory for mobile filmmakers and content creators in Egypt and beyond.
Compatible with RODE shotgun mics, wireless receivers, and third-party microphones alike, the SC7 delivers a reliable, tangle-resistant coiled connection with gold-plated connectors that guard against corrosion and ensure a clean, consistent audio signal every time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between TRS and TRRS, and why does the RODE SC7 use both?
TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) is the standard 3.5mm connector used on most microphones and wireless receivers, carrying audio output only. TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) is used on smartphones and tablets to combine audio output and microphone input in a single jack. The SC7 converts the TRS signal from your mic into the TRRS format your smartphone expects, allowing you to record directly into iOS or Android devices.
Is the RODE SC7 compatible with non-RODE microphones?
Yes. While designed with RODE microphones and wireless receivers in mind, the SC7 works with any microphone or wireless receiver that has a standard 3.5mm TRS output connector, making it a versatile cable for a wide range of audio equipment.
Will the RODE SC7 work with my Android phone as well as my iPhone?
Yes, the RODE SC7 is fully compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets that feature a 3.5mm TRRS headphone jack, making it suitable for mobile journalists, vloggers, and content creators regardless of their device ecosystem.
