The Saramonic LC-XLR adapts a 3-pin XLR (female) microphone to Apple iOS devices that use a Lightning connector. It converts the microphone signal for use on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices that support iOS 10 or later.
This compact adapter accepts a standard XLR microphone and routes the audio into an iOS device via the Lightning port. With its external signal conversion, the LC-XLR aims to deliver clear audio suitable for high-quality recordings on mobile Apple devices.
The LC-XLR features ultra-strong sound density and a high-fidelity transmission design. Therefore, it is presented as an ideal adapter when you want to capture higher-quality sound on iOS devices. In practice, this means the unit focuses on preserving the microphone’s signal during the conversion to Lightning output.
The adapter works with all Apple devices that have a Lightning connector and support iOS 10 or later. This explicitly includes iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models that meet the iOS version requirement.
Note: The LC-XLR is a compact unit and does not include a battery box or onboard power supply. Consequently, it cannot provide power to XLR microphones that require an external power source (for example, some condenser microphones). Be sure to check whether your microphone needs external power before connecting it to the LC-XLR.
Question: Which Apple devices work with the LC-XLR?
Answer: The LC-XLR is compatible with Apple devices that feature a Lightning connector and run iOS 10 or later, including iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models that meet that requirement.
Question: Can the LC-XLR power condenser microphones?
Answer: No. The LC-XLR does not include a battery box or onboard power supply, so it does not provide the external power that some condenser microphones require. If your microphone needs external power, you will need a separate power source.
Question: What connectors does the adapter use?
Answer: The adapter connects a 3-pin XLR (female) microphone input to an Apple Lightning connector intended for iOS devices.
Question: What kind of audio performance can I expect?
Answer: The LC-XLR is designed for ultra-strong sound density and high-fidelity transmission, making it suitable for higher-quality sound recording on iOS devices compared to a basic, unconverted connection.
