Rated 5 out of 5

Works great for line level stereo mix too!

I got this as a super portable way of recording live synth noise sets (a stereo mix coming from a Bastl Bestie) and it works beautifully. I was worried about the gain, but it was easy to dial it in on the Rode app and I've had no problems. Invaluable so far for my ultra compact set up.

Works well for on the go recording

Basically, this works for connecting 1/8? into your computer or devices. I tested it in my iPhone using lavaliere microphones made by Giant Squid and with a Rode Videomic Go II. The sound was pretty decent, and you are able to make further adjustments to it in the Rode Connect app. I was also able to use the USB C to lightning cable to connect the Rode VideoMic Go II into an iPhone. There are a few things keeping this from five stars. For one thing, the build feels like plastic. I?m not sure if this device is plastic or metal, but it has kind of a plastic feel to me. Second, the headphone monitor seems rather noisy. Also, I?m not a big fan of having to use their app to make adjustments as it then becomes harder to do if not impossible if the company ever stops supporting the app. However, this will work well for a two lavaliere setup on the go. It?s probably also good as an interface for using 1/8? cable microphones for your computer.
