Connecting a wireless microphone to your phone (Android or iPhone) allows for better audio quality in videos, live streams, or recordings. Here’s how to do it, depending on your microphone type:

Method 1: Using a USB Wireless Mic (For iPhones & USB-C Android Phones)

✅ Compatible with:

• iPhone (Lightning/USB-C) + USB-C Android phones

• Mics: M9

Steps:

1. Check if your mic has a USB receiver.

2. For iPhone (Lightning):

   • Use a Lightning to USB adapter (Apple official).

   • Plug the USB receiver into the adapter.

3. For iPhone (USB-C) / Android (USB-C):

   • Plug the USB receiver directly into the phone.

4. Open your camera/video app (e.g., Filmic Pro, Open Camera).

5. Select the mic as the audio source in settings (if needed).

⚠️ Note: Some Android phones may need OTG support enabled (check in settings).

Method 2: Using a 3.5mm Wireless Mic Receiver (For Headphone Jack Phones)

✅ Compatible with:

• Phones with a 3.5mm jack (older iPhones, some Androids)

• Mics: Sennheiser XSW, Saramonic UwMic9

Steps:

1. Connect the receiver’s output (3.5mm or 6.35mm) to the phone’s mic/headphone jack.

   • May need a TRRS adapter (for smartphone compatibility).

2. Use an audio app (like Voice Record Pro or Camera app).

3. Check audio levels—some mics may need a preamp.

⚠️ Note: Some phones don’t support mic input via 3.5mm—test first!
