Product Information

Full details

The Movo TCB1 is designed for content creators, podcasters, and mobile journalists who need to connect standard 3-pole TRS microphones to 4-pole smartphones or tablets. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of an integrated headphone monitoring port, which allows for real-time audio verification during recording, though users should note that microphone compatibility depends on the specific app and device settings.

FAQs

Does this work with my iPhone?

It is compatible with devices featuring a 3.5mm TRRS input. If using a newer smartphone without a 3.5mm jack, you will need an official manufacturer lightning or USB-C to 3.5mm dongle in addition to the TCB1.

Can I use this for phone calls?

The TCB1 is primarily designed to feed microphone audio into a device for recording, rather than acting as a headset adapter for phone calls.

Do I need batteries to use the monitoring feature?

No, the TCB1 is a passive adapter and does not require batteries or external power.

Will this work with a 2-pole (TS) microphone?

The TCB1 is specifically engineered for 3-pole (TRS) microphones; performance with 2-pole microphones is not guaranteed.

What is the warranty period?

The Movo TCB1 is backed by a 1-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No audio is being recorded

Ensure the microphone is fully seated in the TRS port and that the adapter is firmly connected to your smartphone; check your phone's microphone privacy settings to ensure the recording app has permission to access the external mic.

Audio is only coming through one side of the headphones

Verify that your headphone plug is fully inserted into the monitoring port and that the microphone itself is a standard 3-pole TRS type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated headphone jack for real-time monitoring
  • Durable, shielded cable construction
  • Gold-plated contacts for improved signal transfer
  • Compact and lightweight for mobile setups

Cons

  • Not compatible with all recording apps without specific settings
  • Requires a separate headphone connection for monitoring
  • Limited to devices with a 3.5mm TRRS jack or an appropriate adapter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the TCB1, plug your 3-pole (TRS) microphone cable into the female end of the adapter, then connect the male TRRS end into your smartphone's audio input. If you wish to monitor audio, plug your headphones into the side port of the adapter. Ensure your recording application is set to recognize external audio input.

Care instructions include keeping the connectors free of debris and avoiding excessive bending of the cable near the connection points to prevent internal wire breakage. Store the adapter in a dry location when not in use.
