Best Way to Connect a Phone (iPhone, Android) to a Mixer.

  • If you want to plug a mixer into a smartphone (iPhone or Android) this is the best way to do that. ✅ All gear linked below*.
    Sometimes you want to plug your phone into your mixer and send all the audio from your mixer into your phone and get the audio from the phone back into the mixer. This could be to take Skype or cell phone calls into your podcast or perhaps you want to record into an iOS audio app.
    Because the audio output of a mixer is loud (line level) a normal TRRS device used to input consumer microphones like lav mics will not work. Those adapters provide plugin power and thus boost the signal going into the phone.
    What we need is something that can take the hotter signal from the line level output and attenuate it. That's where the iRig2 comes in.
    The iRig 2 is the perfect device for plugging in any line level source to an iPhone or Android smartphone. The addition of a gain fader on the iRig2 gives us even more control over the audio going into the phone. This way you'll be able to work with your normal levels on your mixer and send just the right amount of audio to the person on the phone without distortion.
    If you want to do a mix-minus setup where all the audio from your mixer goes into the phone minus the person on the phone (so they don't get feedback) the iRig2 lets you easily do this by using its input and output. This is a great device for taking and recording phone or Skype calls via your mixer.
    See my video on how to setup a mix-minus:

    Hi Ray, I've been using this for many tasks. It works well for recording Skype and phone calls, live stream to Instagram, Facebook and Periscope too. It solved the problem of blowing out my phone due to line level causing my phone to shut down. Best investment so far outside of my minimalist equipment... Not sure the gain has made a difference but that may be a later test... Thanks for all your great videos...

    I've been using the Tascam iXZ for the same purpose. It has a combo XLR jack and accepts XLR with or without phantom power, balanced or unbalanced 1/4" instrument or line level inputs. It requires 2 AA batteries for XLR or instrument in, but not for line level in. It has a 1/8" TRS out headphone stereo jack with a volume dial to get audio to the interface or mixer. I have it semi-permanently wired into my Scarlett for the last two years connecting an iPhone.
    The 1/8" TRRS cable works with the TRRS to Lightning adapter if you have an iPhone 7.
    I want to point out that the TRRS connection for IOS devices is Left, Right, Ground and Mic where for most Android and other devices, they use the older Nokia standard which swaps Ground and Mic. Not all devices and adapters work well together. The iXZ definitely works with IOS devices

    I just plugged in my audio interface (Scarlett 2i2) directly into my android through USB!! And it was recognized as an external audio source automatically, rerouting all input to what was coming through it. All it took was one of those (OTG?) USB Adapters that allows the big USB end to be plugged into a micro USB port. Didn't expect it to actually work so seamlessly: I've been having trouble for weeks, trying to get my Tascam DR-05 mic to line-in to the Phone successfully (it kept just randomly cutting out, with all the TRRS adapters I tried...) but this way, it just.. WORKS. Haha. Hope this helps someone!

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  6 лет назад

      Thanks, Patrick. You could output the Zoom into the iRig and then bring the iRig back into the Zoom but you run into one issue..mix-minus. Those devices don't have the ability to control what goes out of the output, it would be the full mix and in that case you would be sending the audio back to the person on the phone which is no good because they will get a feedback loop of themselves. However, see this video which shows you a way to do it with those recorders. Note that it doesn't require the mic I show in the video if you don't mind sending the on-board mic of your computer or phone to the caller ruclips.net/video/LoswJ5Vawas/видео.html

    You don't need something like an iRig for high-Z guitars to go into a phone. You just need the little adapters and turn your mixer's volume down on the output you're using. If you do need to reduce the gain after the mixer, you can do it with a passive in-line headphone volume control.

      @@RayOrtega Ray, I'm on the road and at the last minute was tasked to do a quick interview for a documentary. Since I don't have any of my usual gear with me, I followed the ole' USMC motto "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome". I picked up two very good quality sounding Insignia lav's ($50 a piece) at Best Buy that are designed specifically for Camera's, Go Pro's and of all things Smartphones. Since my Smartphone is all that I have, I plugged in one of the mic's to make sure that it would work just in case I could not find a quick field mixer. Called Guitar Shop and they had a Beringer MicroMix 400MX. This 4 in 1 out cigarette size mixer looked like it would do the job. I needed a 1/4" cable to route the signal out of the the mixer so I picked up an unbalanced male/male cable. At the recommendation of the GC rep, I picked up the I Rig 2 as to bring the signal from the mixer into my phone. I hopped next door to WalMart and found a 66" camera tripod that also came with a Smartphone attachment (the one at Best Buy was double the price and only 30" with NO attachments). After hooking everything up, plugging both lavs into the mixer, my ultimate goal was to just plug in the I Rig, hit video record on my Smartphone and expect this wonderful sound to be coming back when I play back a couple of test video recording. Nope! Not a sound. The video looked great but there was no audio. Checked and rechecked the switches to make sure the mic's were on, and their batteries were in correctly. After a couple more failed tests, I had to go with just one lav on the my interviewee. Any idea what could be going wrong?

      @@toney5043 It doesn't sound like you got mics that work with mixers. Typically lav mics don't interface with mixers because as you suggested they are made to work with other devices, mainly ones that supply plugin power like a camera, phone, etc. You need adapters for lav mics that do not have XLR connections/run on phantom power in order to give them the proper amount of power they need, devices like these ruclips.net/video/h9NUUsBe2lU/видео.html but if you're using a smartphone and lav mics, the better solution would be to just go with dual system audio where you record the interviewee's audio separate from the camera and sync it all in post production or you can look into a device like this which is meant for an interview setup with lav mic and a smartphone however you want to consider if the cables would be long enough for your setup podhelp.me/rodesc6L-BH

    Thanks Mr Ortega. Will the iRig connect a band mixer monitor output (foldback or aux output) and then let me use the phone to bluetooth stream the output to Bose headphones. Which app on the phone would I use? I want to get my monitor mix to Bose noise cancelling headphones. Will latency be a problem? Thanks, Peter

    Hi! Very nice explanation, thanks!! Someone says that iRig2 only works with iPhone, which I find weird since it's just a TRRS connection..Do you confirm that it can work with any smartphone (I have huawei p10, so Android) ?

    I just bought the irig pro 2 and I'm trying to use it to bake bass covers on my Android phone but I'm lost in how I'm going to get it to record everything together. I have behringer audio interface, can I use that along with the irig? I'm basically trying to record my audio and video at the same time.

    Great video, and I've set it up so that it works. BUT. When using the phone, I get that really horrible clicking that happens if you're too close to a speaker....I bought the mixer just to be able to make clean interviews, but this might kill it. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of it? It seems to be coming through the line, as it makes little/no difference how far from the mixer the phone is. Ideas?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  6 лет назад

      It's probably the phone transmitting to cell signals. Try setting it to airplane mode and using wifi when possible.

    • @RayOrtega

      The iRig is mono so unfortunately no but this can also be a limitation of phones as many have mono input as well although that might be different with digital connections they now have.

    Thanks for this great video. I'm trying to do this on an iPad with a lightning connector and couldn't get it to work as shown with the iRig 2. Do I need to do install the AmpliTube software to make this work?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  6 лет назад +1

      You're welcome, John. I just double-checked this with my iPhone and it works great with the lightning adapter. You don't need the AmpliTube app but maybe the app you're using on the iPad is not recognizing the input. What app are you using and are you sure that you are actually getting audio out of the iRig2? Is there any other device like an audio recorder that you can plug the iRig into to confirm that you are sending audio out before you try different apps? Try that first.
      Since you asked, I recorded a follow up video today where I show my test of the iRig2 to Lightning and it will be released in the next couple days. Make sure to subscribe and turn on notifications via the bell icon or the prompt so that you don't miss it.

      Ray Ortega I’m trying use Facebook Live so this should be a slam dunk. I’m taking a tape recorder out from my mixing board and trying to run it directly to the iPad for better sound quality. I know there is signal coming through the cable as plug into my iPhone and record on Voice Record.
      I’ll check your new video. Thanks for your advice.

    • @RayOrtega

  • @EliseRBrion

    So iRig2 cannot be used instead of Wirecast for proper audio for livestreaming, correct? I wasted my time trying to use OBS via my Alesis mixer to do just that. As I understand your very helpful video, the iRig2 simply facilitates the use of the iPhone for Skype in a recording, but not necessarily for live streaming?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  7 лет назад

      Yeah the key is that the device is for TRRS inputs, the kind you find on smartphones. Some macs have TRRS in/output but if you have a USB mixer you'd probably just use the USB. The Alesis into OBS in theory should work, I mean the Alesis is just your audio input at that point but I haven't tested it out. If you were trying to send a mixer into a phone to live-stream via an app then this would be a good use case for the iRig2

  • @buddythelegendlives5684
    @buddythelegendlives5684 4 года назад

    You explain very well how to use the device and it's features, but what are you running out of the mixer? You running left/right out with a "Y" to a monoral cab to go into the guitar input on the iRig2? Or are you running a stereo 1/4" to monoral 1/4" from the aux out on the mixer to the guitar input on the iRig2? Every video on-line seems to skip this hookup tutorial.

I have to use earbuds for certain occasions basically, or if this would not allow me would you know how I could connect it to work? I tried using the jack adaptor but the sound comes extremely distorted, I use Yamaha MG10XU mixer I am new to this and have no idea what and how to get it right. Thanks in advance

    Hey Ray! So with this iRig2, I would be able to plug it into my Zoom F8 along with my microphones, and the skype caller would be able to hear us all on the mics? Cheers!

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  5 лет назад +1

      I think you can sort of hack it. If the F8 allows you to control what channels output from the 'sub out' then you can send all the microphone channels and exclude the Skype channel so that the person does not get their own audio returned to them. This would be a mix-minus with the F8.

    Great review about the iRig2. I love this simple device which enables me to record my e-drums straight into my smartphone.
    However, I can't get the first two XLR channel inputs return back to the AUX / FX sent, whereas all other input channels perfectly work fine. I have a Behringer X1222USB mixer and the iRig2 connected to the MON/FX Sent, which perfectly works fine, except I can't get any output from the first two channels where my TD-50 module is connected through XRL.
    Any ideas ?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  5 лет назад +1

      Hmm that's odd, I find with those Behringers it's usually some combo of the buttons that select what goes to the output/main mix but hard to say. If it's not that, are you aux faders turned up on those channels and try and check those channels are actually working by monitoring them through the headphones and make sure you that you are powering any phantom powered mics connected to those inputs.

    • @cresk
      @cresk 4 года назад

      Ray Ortega I need to check that and figure it out by myself. It’s to find this specific information, either online or in the documentation. I guess it must be the routing from the TD-50 to the MacBook (it’s going through Superior Drummer 3 on the computer). For some reason I’m not sure if the USB interface has something to do with it or not. I do get output from the TD-50 through the headphones on the Behringer, but it’s not controllable through fist two channels on the mixer where the TD-50 is connected via XLR .

    @sarinanatkin 3 года назад

    Hello- I am a newbie to audio gear and am teaching fitness classes online. I am having a hard time figuring out how to get music from my iPhone into the mixer. The volume levels coming in to mixer from the phone are greatly reduced. I have narrowed it down it something in how the phone is connecting- this after trying 3 different mixers and every kind of cable/connection I can think of. Just got a tip that I need something interfacing btwn the phone (digital) to the mixer (analog). I can only find stuff online designed to input into phone from mixer vs other way around. Does the setup in your video work in reverse? (using a high quality samson mic into mixer as well, mixer output to my macbook, then main output to zoom, headphone output to a speaker for me- have all the other pieces working fine). Thank you for any advice!!

    Would the phone receive the input from the iRig as mono or stereo. Lets say you have a sound that alternates playing between left and right ear every second or something. Would that effect be lost in translation from going to the iRig to the phone?
