Getting audio from a mixer into a phone
Mark Schneider:
I am trying to find a way to take an Aux output from a mixer, and input it into an Android phone (Galaxy S5), so that I can record a video on the phone, while using the audio from the mixer output. The aux comes out at line output, and I don't know what level various connections on a phone need. Then, guessing I would need some kind of app to tell the video to use the input for audio in the video, rather than the phone's internal mic. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is this even possible?
Mike Caldwell:
It is possible, you need a TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) plug wired to the correct pin outs to use the external mic input, then you will need to pad the signal level down coming from the mixers aux output.
I did it with an iPhone, taking a feed from my mixer to send audio to the phone that was streaming the event on Facebook Live.
You can find the pinouts for the headphone jack on line and make the cable or buy an off the shelf adapter.

From what I understand, since Android 5.0 You have the ability to connect a usb sound card directly to the device.

I know for the iphone there has to be a specific resistance presented to the 1/8" jack connections before the mic input is switched over from being one of the headphone outs.

Something like an Irig Pro might work.

Perhaps a Bluetooth interface?
