Reddit mentions of Hosa GMP-386 1/4" TS to 3.5 mm TRS Adaptor

/u/SuperBob333 - even a "shotgun" mic has to be within a couple of feet in order to produce decent sound.

With a $50 budget, I recommend a [$29.99 Fifine wireless mic and receiver] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795PNCBG//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) instead.

You would hold the mic on stage (perhaps taped to the house mic) and plug the Fifine receiver into a [$5.49 Hosa GMP-386 1/4" TS to 3.5mm TRS adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GMP-386-inch-3-5-Adaptor/dp/B001CJ68KE//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and thence into a [$14.99 Rode SC4 TRS to TRRS adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Rode-SC4-inches-Microphone-Cable/dp/B00L6C8PN0//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) - which would connect the receiver to your phone.

This will give you much better results than putting a phone and mic across the room from the stage.

That said, next time you have a question like this, you might want to ask it over at /r/videography or /r/locationsound. This sub is more for narrative and documentary filmmaking.

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your standup!

it does not matter that it is stereo the ring will just get shorted to ground

Yes, you can plug directly into your sound card. Fuck USB's fuck built in interfaces etc... Get the most simple no frills tube mic-pre you can find. All that extra shit will fuck up the tone. Keep it tube and keep it simple and you'll get the most warm tones possible. The best one I found for starting out is this

also you'll need these two things

TRS to headphone adapter

patch cable

Seriously fuck all the extra bullshit

Best Buy guys are crooks when it comes to cables - $40 HDMI's my ass - but I would be very surprised if they didn't have it for under $20. Like I said though, just don't get the straight in connector without a little bit of flexible wire. You will bend/break the 1/8" - I've done it, I'm sure everyone who's owned one has done it.

This, not this

Hey I have an audio hard ware issue... here is my set up

I have this Gigabyte Motherboard

Coming out of the green audio jack I have a 3.5mm extension cable, then a 3.5mm audio splitter, then two 3.5mm TRS-1/4" TS adapters, then two 1/4" TRS cables, to a JBL Nano Patch, then two more 1/4" cables to my Eris E5 monitors

The problem is...The connection made at the 3.5mm splitter - Adapter - 1/4" cable sucks! It doesn't stay fully seated and the audio randomly cuts out until I fiddle with the connection and it comes back.

What can I do to make this better? Any improvements to the overall system? I really like the Nano patch, I use the line in on it with a Chrome Cast to cast to my speakers. It requires the 1/4" cables.

Ah, I think this is your best bet then. Put one of these on as well. Feel like that could work.
