USB-C to Lightning Audio Cable for Rode Recording Devices
The Rode SC21-Blue is a compact 30cm USB-C to Lightning cable designed specifically to connect iOS devices to compatible Rode USB-C microphones and audio interfaces. It allows iPhones and iPads with Lightning ports to function as high-quality recording, streaming, or monitoring tools when paired with supported Rode gear. This cable is purpose-built for audio signal transfer and is ideal for mobile creators who rely on their smartphone as part of a professional production workflow.
Designed for iOS Integration with Rode Microphones and Interfaces
Built with an MFi-certified Lightning connector, the SC21 ensures reliable communication between Apple iOS devices and Rode USB-C products. Certification means the cable meets Apple’s technical standards, reducing the risk of connection errors or device incompatibility during recording sessions. This makes it a dependable choice for mobile journalism, podcast recording, video production, and live streaming where stability is critical.
Optimized Cable Length for Portable Recording Setups
With a length of 11.8 inches, the SC21 is short enough to minimize cable clutter while still allowing comfortable device placement on rigs, cages, or desktop setups. The reduced length helps maintain a clean signal path and keeps mobile recording setups compact, making it especially useful for handheld, gimbal-mounted, or on-the-go production environments.
Compatible with Popular Rode Wireless and USB-C Devices
The SC21 is engineered to work seamlessly with a range of Rode USB-C audio products, including Wireless PRO, Wireless GO II, Wireless ME, VideoMic NTG, VideoMic GO II, NT-USB+, and the AI-Micro audio interface. This wide compatibility makes it a versatile accessory for creators who use multiple Rode devices across different recording scenarios.
Purpose-Built for Audio Signal Transfer Only
This cable is designed exclusively for audio and data communication between devices and does not support charging or syncing iOS devices. By focusing on audio performance rather than power delivery, the SC21 ensures consistent signal integrity for recording and streaming applications without unnecessary functionality.
Durable Construction for Repeated Professional Use
Rode designed the SC21 with frequent use in mind, making it suitable for daily production work. Its connectors are engineered for a secure fit, helping prevent accidental disconnections during recording sessions, interviews, or live broadcasts.
