CAVEAT: To accomplish what I described above, you will also need a stereo Ring-Tip-Sleeve 1/4" male phono to 3-pin male XLR cable. I insert the 1/4" stereo phono plug into a guitar, connect male XLR end to the adapter being sold in this listing (which is 3-pin female XLR to male Lightning plug), then put the iPhone to sleep and plug the Lightning plug into my iPhone. I then wake up the iPhone and open the iStroboSoft app and tune the guitar. The tuner app has an LED input meter so you can see how hot the signal is from the guitar. Adjust the level on the guitar itself so it's as hot as possible without reaching the red segments on the meter. Then open the Camera app and select video and record the guitar lick or bass line. The camera app has no audio input level meter but setting the level in the tuner app sets the correct max level for the Camera app. If you don't care about capturing video while you record audio, you can use the Voice Memos app instead. The Voice Memos app also has input level monitor.
1. This adaptor will not work with condenser mics because they require phantom power, which this item does not support. If you are using a condenser mic, you will need a little mixer or an adapter that provides phantom power. Or you can just buy a dynamic microphone. Cost wise, its probably cheaper to by a new mic.
2. Out of the box, this adapter only works with phone that have a CTIA compatible headphone jack (i.e. Apple). If your phone has an OMTP headphone jack (i.e. certain Samsung phones) the adapter will not work.
This product will not connect a regular microphone to an iPhone 6, period. I tried using an SM57 by itself and also with a pre-amp producing line-level audio into the provided XLR connection. Neither method worked within the Garage Band or Voice Memo applications.
I worked with the Movo support team and they did not answer my question if they were ever able to use the product in their advertised fashion.
Here is the email thread with support:
message 1:
scott: I am not able to get the cable work as I intended. When I plug my external microphone into the cable and the cable into my phone I cannot hear from the external mic, only the on-board one. Ideas?
Jason: What equipment are we connecting? I can follow up with more information.
notes: It sounds like Jason wanted specifics because I already said I was using a mic.
message 2:
scott: I connected an SM57 via XLR directly and also pre-amped with line level to the cable and the cable 1/8 to my iPhone 6.
jason: Try a different phone and play around with the configuration, I'm really sorry for your experience so far. Lets rule out a defect before we return.
message 3:
scott: I did try my wife's phone and used the voice-memo app as well as the garage band app. I've played with using headphones / not using headphones / pulling the plug out some to various degrees, etc. Nothing's working. Have you personally or as an organization attempted to use any of this type of cable you sell for this purpose? I seem to remember that you are advertising that this is a supported activity for the product.
jason: So which is not working, headphone monitoring or the cable does not work at all?
notes: I said the internal mic works with headphone monitoring in message 1, why is Jason asking me if headphone monitoring is working? Scott[message1]Exerpt: "When I plug my external microphone into the cable and the cable into my phone I cannot hear from the external mic, only the on-board one".
message 4:
scott: Good question. Headphone monitoring actually does work when using garage band, pretty cool. I just can't get it to switch to the external mic, for either application. Not sure what to do.
jason: [no response]
notes: Trying to stay positive; he's obviously not paying attention but let's see if we can get some help anyway.
message 5:
scott: I'm confused. Do you plan to continue to help or now that you know headphone monitoring works is it a closed case? For the record, I could use headphone monitoring without your cable.
jason: I apologize, I assumed that this was your issue with the equipment. How else can I help with the adapter? I'm unclear on what you are unable to do with the cable.
notes: Why didn't I get a messaging saying that he thought headphone monitoring was the issue and I now have it working? That would have been helpful communication to have in order to continue the troubleshooting process.
message 6a:
scott: The external mic does not work.
jason: [awaiting response]
message 6b:
scott: [sent transcription since it has not been included in correspondence for some reason]
notes: Why doesn't Jason ever respond including our email thread? Maybe this is why he's not able to reference past conversations.
message 7:
jason: Consider trouble shooting the external microphone with the manufacturer. This should just act as a conduit between to applicable products. It shouldn't introduce anything into the equation. The order was Amazon fulfilled so a return or exchange is very easy.
scott: I've tried a couple different mics, both condenser via pre-amp and dynamic. I have line-level audio coming into your XLR cable. You advertise this as a solution and I'm not sure it actually is. I'm afraid even if you send me another cable it won't work either. You emailed me asking what I need help with, and I'd like help getting this working please.
notes: I started this message new with Jason and did not include it as a response to message 6a because several days passed between.
message 8:
jason: As much as I'd like to, I can't make your equipment function for you via email. Likely the equipment is not compatible or is being used outside of the intended purpose of the actual cord. If it does not work for your intended purposes, simply return via this link www.amazon.com/returns and you can schedule a pickup right from home. I am sorry that you are having trouble. The cord is intended to connect two pieces of equipment.
scott: can you provide a specific example of intended two pieces of equipment please?
notes: There has been no response after this; it's been a week so I'm assuming Jason has moved on and I should just return the item.
Except that the headphone output is almost useless. I can barely hear a faint distorted sound when monitoring the sound. Plus I get a delay. For this reason I debated between returning it or not. But decided to keep it as simple backup for a different solution I got for my specific sound application.
(No, my phone wasn't the problem. I ordered the same kind of item from a different seller and it worked.)

Gute Mikrofone hatte ich zuhauf hier aber keine Möglichkeit sie am Handy anzuschließen. Mit diesem Adapter hat es einwandfrei geklappt ein Studio Projects B1 ans Handy anzuschließen.
Die Qualität mutet gut an. Die Kabel könnten vielleicht etwas dicker sein aber für den Heimgebrauch jedenfalls empfehlenswert.
