Rode MiCon-2 Connector for Select 3.5mm Devices

The Rode MiCon-2 is an adapter connector that terminates Rode's MiCon microphone system in a standard 3.5mm stereo mini-jack, enabling Rode MiCon-equipped microphones to connect directly to devices using a 3.5mm input. This makes the MiCon-2 the go-to adapter for portable recorders, cameras, smartphones, and compact wireless transmitters that use a 3.5mm TRS connection rather than a standard XLR or proprietary multi-pin connector. It requires a minimum supply voltage of 1V from the connected device to power the microphone.

Compatible with Rode's HS1 headset, Lavalier, and PinMic microphones, the MiCon-2 is particularly useful for content creators, journalists, videographers, and run-and-gun production operators who need a reliable, compact lavalier or headset solution feeding directly into a camera or portable recorder without additional cabling or adapters in the chain. The locking MiCon connection on the microphone end keeps the adapter firmly attached, while the 3.5mm termination provides a clean, low-profile connection at the device end.

As part of Rode's modular MiCon ecosystem, the MiCon-2 allows the same microphone to be redeployed across 3.5mm and other input types simply by swapping adapters — making it an efficient and cost-effective accessory for professionals managing versatile production kits across multiple recording scenarios.
