Obviously the person on the other end of the phone isn't getting your mic feedback since the port that you're plugged into is an input Port only, so is your phone on speaker, or are you just using the phone in normal handset mode with the phone close enough to your face? I wish there was some sort of interface that made it to where it only used the mic plugged into your h6, and the headphones. Maybe using an adapter that split the phones trrs adapted Port into a separate headphone and microphone Port would allow you to put the headphone port to the h6, and then allow you to run a separate lav mic mounted up near your primary mic? I'm just trying to think of the best way to do this.
As an FYI, some older phones get confused with the adapter cables and use the phone's mic for the phone call. You can try unplugging the adapter cable and plugging it back in to wake up the phone to choose the correct input. More modern phones using same-brand adapters (using Samsung adapters for Samsung phones for example) shouldn't have this problem. I recently tried this and it worked as described in the video.
Buddy this is all wrong. First of all the microphone port (3.5mm) on the XY mic capsule is an input port and not an output port. So, when you are calling someone what is happening is your voice is going via the phone mic and not the TRRS cable. You can check this by muting your mic and you will find the other person can still hear you!!!!
Thank you... super helpful to someone with zero experience. One question... how do you hear the phone call? I believe the phone audio is going directly into the Zoom H6. Do you have headphones on and if so, how are they connected up? Maybe that’s what is coming out of the line out? Can you recommend some low cost but reasonable quality headphones too? Thanks - you have given me what I need to start my podcast :-)
Hi there! I have a new iPhone 15 pro and now it’s not working anymore. Either I can hear but the other person over the phone can’t, or I can’t hear them. It used to work super easily with my old iphone 11! What can I do ?
An identical video from a week earlier than this one answers that. ruclips.net/video/9MVu8MMMQ4Y/видео.html ... because the lead he is using is just headphone out, the phone is using it's normal mic. However on my pixel 3, I get terrible quality doing this.
Thank you for this video, much appreciated! I tried using this same method but I got bad results with noticeable echo from my own voice and overall quality was not good. However, I believe I made the mistake of using a TRS cable instead of a TRRS to TRRS cable that you are recommending on your link in the comment section. Question please: With your setup and TRRS cable, you are able to have good quality for phone call recording without hearing any echo from either yourself or the other person? I believe that is known as the "mix minus" functionality that some audio mixing devices have, but I did not think the Zoom H6 has the mix minus function. I will need to order that correct TRRS cable and try this again.
Also, from that Amazon link you gave for the TRRS to TRRS cable, Amazon is saying there is a newer version of this cable that costs a little more. But I can't seem to tell what the difference is, do you notice any difference from this higher priced version? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0793JNYLL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A21TE5CLHZDYA7&psc=1
Sorry for the questions, but why did you recommend this Vention cable in your comments? I watched your video to the end but I don't recall you mentioning using this particular cable here, is it needed for recording phone calls to the Zoom H6 (or only get the TRRS to TRRS cable?) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRFQQV4/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A9MY43J4CANB8&psc=1
@@ProductReviewkk That's incorrect. With the TRRS cable, the phone should be using the output from the cable. However, some older phones might get confused and not use the cable for the mic. If that's the case, try unplugging it and plugging it back in to the phone (the adapter end) to wake up the phone to use the correct input. I also thought that the phone was using the phone mic for the call. But after doing testing with a Samsung S23 Ultra and an H6, the phone is using the output from the cable as the mic source.
@@Feintgames the reason i made that is observation is that though the TRRS cable will give you both input and output but you have connected the phone to the mic input of H6. The mic input port can only take input and not give output. The H6 gives output from only the headphone port or line out. So connecting it this was only gets your phone audio to record on H6 but not your voice to go to the phone. You can check this by muting the mic of H6 and you’ll notice that the person on the phone can still hear your voice. But H6 will record your audio also because of the mic you have hooked up to H6.
I have connected everything as you did but i got that other 3,5 cable that isnt 3 rings on. the one i talk to cant here me, is my problem over when i got that trrs cable? in youre dexcription you have links to other things than you have used in the video...i dont need to buy those right?! thanks
@@houstonprofessionalphotogr2603 thank you for your answer. I have checked multiply videos. They are using a regular 3,5mm with 2 ribgs. In the video it works.

This video basically shows you how to send the audio output of a phone to the H5 (or whatever) whilst also recording the audio of a microphone to a separate track within the H5. With respect, this shouldn't have taken 15 mins. The microphone on the phone is still the mic that the person on the other end of the call will hear which is unfair on the caller. Especially if there is more than one person podcasting in a room. There is a much better way of achieving a total solution for phone recording using different cables where the mic audio that is plugged in to the zoom is to sent to the phone without causing a feedback loop (using panning). Although I accept I cannot post a link here, if you are interested (and this is I believe a benefit to Pod One Media as well I hope) then put "how to record a phone call using a zoom h6 or h5 multitrack" in to your favourite search engine and watch an English guy called Ryan describe the simple process.
Great video. Thanks!! Maybe someone can help me. I need a simple bluetooth transceiver to bluetooth full-duplex connect to my android phone so that I can make phone calls through my audio interface without physically connecting my phone to the interface, but by using the bluetooth device that I describe. So the bluetooth interface must have analog in and outs, the analog in will be sent back to the smartphone as "mic in" and the analog out will be the sound being passed from my phone to the bluetooth device back to my audio interface. I read that it must work in TDD mode, but not sure about that. Most of the whiz-bang bluetooth devices have send/receive switches, but for the sake of phone call I need it to work like an BT earbud that one uses commonly, but with ports for the phone mic and sound. BlueDriver M3 does it, but not crazy about the product. Does anyone know how to do this easily and inexpensively?

Exceptionally useful. Thanks for taking the time.
Does the 3.5 mm port in the XY capsule support TRRS? I thought it supported only TRS.
