Reddit reviews C2G 40634 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Mono Female Adapter, TAA Compliant, Silver

Are you talking about headphones? Because it would make no sense to need it only to go to the right speaker in the phone itself. You must mean headphones.

You can simply plug an adapter on the end of the headphone jack and just leave it there. What you need is a 3.5mm stereo male to mono female adapter, like this one of these.

Edit: more info.

Get this.

Yeah, I got a stereo to mono adapter to effectively merge the two channels into one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O7AW98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I got this to hook up to my xbox: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNNSKV0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plug that into the xbox via optical (since primary audio went through HDMI and I couldn't easily split that), then the adapter above to merge channels into mono and then into the buttkicker. Works great for consoles.

An inexpensive way to do this is with a [$58 AZDEN CAM-3 On-Camcorder Mini Audio Mixer] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006JPD1/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00006JPD1&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).

The better way to do this is with three [$20 Bronstein low noise lavs] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZB9XY4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00EZB9XY4&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), three [$4 mono to stereo adapters] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O7AW98/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000O7AW98&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-2), three [$10 Rode 3.5mm to XLR adapters] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y021NA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000Y021NA&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and a low noise premplifier/mixer that will get rid of the noise in your T3's preamps - such as the [$429 JuicedLink Riggy Assist RA333] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DXCKLI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008DXCKLI&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).

Without a separate preamp that disables your T3i's automatic gain control, your soundtrack is likely to have audible noise - especially when your interviewees are not speaking.

Good luck!

Hi bunting - I plug simple lavs with 3.5mm plugs into cameras all the time. Works fine. Here I am with a lav mic (pulled off one of my wireless transmitters) and plugged directly into my Panasonic GH2 (please forgive my head cold):

consumer lavs with 3.5mm jacks cost from [$5 for 2 throwaway Neewer lavs] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DJOIPQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005DJOIPQ&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] up to [$18 for an Audio Technica ATR-3550] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HJ9PTO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002HJ9PTO&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link].

You should also get a [$5.30 Stereo male to mono female adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O7AW98/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000O7AW98&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link]in case you run into a mono lav.

No need to rent an expensive mic and recorder.

Hope this is helpful!

This should do it:

Hi u/InfamousSea - I dug my old Audio Technica Pro 88 receiver (pictured here) out of the closet and saw that it has a mono output, not a TRS stereo. Your problem might be that your Rode SC4 TRS to TRRS adapter is only sending a single channel to the phone.

I used this Cables2Go mono to stereo adapter when I needed to plug the Pro 88 into a TRS stereo input and it worked fine.

If that doesn't solve the problem, you probably need a preamp. I recommend a Saramonic SmartRig II preamp for iPhones plus a 3.5mm mono to 1/4" mono adapter so you can plug your wireless receiver into it.

Hope this helpful and good luck!

>Just to clarify, I am looking for DAC/amp that has the option of changing a single stereo input into a single mono output.

You are making it WAY WAY WAY to complicated.

6 bucks

You might need one of these adapters for your microphone to fix your sound issue. Best interview yet btw.

My guess. Mic plug is mono and input in a stereo plug.

You can try getting something like this http://www.amazon.com/Cables-40634-Stereo-Adapter-Metallic/dp/B000O7AW98

My guess with the other people being able to hear you in both sides is that most voice chat is mono.

Good luck!

Nothing on that page would do what you really want.

The things that are labeled "stereo to mono" imply that they are intended to mix a stereo signal into a mono signal. Unless they have some internal resistors (like that home made cable -- which they certainly do not have) then they would simply short the left and right outputs together to connect them to the mono side. And as mentioned it's not really good to short outputs together in general. But even it were OK to short the outputs together it still wouldn't work because the mono side of those adapters will only connect to the tip of a plug. So you'd only get the mono mix in one side of your headphones.

Those "stereo to mono" are really meant to take a mono output and send it two both sides of a stereo input. For example, to send a mono source to both sides of a stereo recorder.

OK (just in case anyone gets any bright ideas), you could connect one of these to the headphone output. Then plug one of these into the first adaptor. Then plug the headphones into the second adapter. That would short (kind of mix) both sides of the output to both sides of the headphones. But don't do that! Because it does short the outputs together and they aren't meant to be shorted together that way. I only mentioned it in case someone saw some potential there and wanted to give ti a go.

This?

You could use an adapter like this to make the audio mono in both ears.

Could you use a cable or plug to combine the incoming sound to mono?

No. I can't make that kind of guarantee for you that whatever I recommend will work.

You can go to amazon and find any IR cable with a 3.5mm phone jack. They are almost all mono (TS) so you will most likely need an adaptor like this, to turn it into a stereo connection. If you look at similar adapters you'll see many of them have a hexagonal shape to the plastic, those won't fit.

I wouldn't recommend that you buy a cable with more than two IRLED's. If you need more than two IRLED's then you need to look at something pricier.

Assuming that you are fine with using the right IEM earpiece in your left ear, your best options are:

• Convert all your audio to MONO using Audacity / ffmpeg / other alternative FREE
  
  
• Get yourself a 3.5mm Stereo Male to 3.5mm Mono Female Adapter $8
