I want to connect 2 external microphones into a Droid to record in stereo. The microphones are professional so they have built in XLR (3 pin). I can use mic cables that terminate in either XLR, 1/4" (TRS), RCA or can even connect the two together first so they terminate as a single stereo mini (headphone) plug. I am looking for something that has a micro-USB on one side to connect to the phone and either 2 female XLR, 1/4" or RCA's (or a single stereo mini) on the other side. Is it even possible to use the USB on the Droid to record? And if so, and maybe now I'm really pushing it, I want the app to be able to allow me to adjust the R/L levels independently. Oh, at it would need to be able to record either at 44.1kHz or 48kHz (preferably 24 bit, but 16 bit will do). Am I nuts? Thx This really doesn’t have anything to do w/ the iPhone but I’m hoping someone could help direct me to the H/W I need or perhaps tell me that it’s not possible.

In theory to get the audio signal to the ipod-dock would be as "simple" as it is shown here. However, I think in case your hifi-system has a ipod menu control integrated you will run into some problems - at least I run into a problem with my system. I connect the dedicated adapter to the ipod dock but my hifi system says "ipod unplugged". I am not sure if it is because of the ipod dock version or the menu control. Does anybody know what it needs to "convince" such systems that an ipod is plugged? I do not know if the dockBoss+ is the solution but 30 euros are too much for me - just for a try without the chance of success. Hey,

The new phone rocks and Im totally digging the freedom, but my clock radio has this wopping big whole where an iPhone device would normally sit and looks stupid. Why doesnt someone commercialise this? This is excellent, I have recently upgraded from my old iPhone 3GS to a Galaxy S2.

I don't know why there isn't a company out there making these adapters. How could all these companies be focused only on the NON-Android!!! Anyway, here is my question or confusion that you might be able to help me out with. Is it possible that the dock connector pinout image information doesn't match the wiring information just below it? In the diagram, GND(USB) is on pin 16 and Vcc is on pin 23. The Wiring information just below it says Micro USB Vcc Red connected to Dock 16 and GND (USB) connected to Dock 23. Also, if you ever have information on the pinout for the Samsung Galaxy S2, I'd appreciate it. Cheers, JS I’d like to start off by saying thank you thank you thank you.

I will update once initial testing is complete as to where it can be purchased. There will also be a longer adapter for the new 'tab' formats. This will be a tested, proven, and final product. I feel everyones pain on this subject. I am manufacturing an adapter cable that will connect to the iPod dock and connect to both the microUSB (charging) and audio jack.

I the exact cables as instructed. Stripped the cables down and found that the wire colours didn't always match the instructions. After a bit of trial and error with a multimeter I was able to get VSS (16 on female ipod) to wire one on the micro usb and USB ground (23 on female ipod) to wire 5 on microsub. My phone would not charge (Headphone wiring worked just fine) and my friends HTC Desire had serious issues, (the machine thought it was in car mode, then it decided that the battery was at zero and required a full recharge). I am going to try and by a usb extender cable, and attempt to wire that in, and plug in an off the shell usb to micro usb extender, but regardless, I could use some help / advice.
