Hi. I've got a Note 8, and a Zoom H5. The H5 is a portable field mic and has USB as well as line-out and headset connections. I would like to figure out what I need to do (and what settings to set) to use my H5 as the Note 8's mic.
I suppose the main question is how to get the Note 8 to use an external mic.
I believe the Note 8's USB connection will be involved in order to have stereo sound, yet I'm not sure. I have an OSG adapter and the H5 has a USB connection. I can't figure out how to make all the settings right.
I have also ordered a "splitter" which separates the mic and a headphone for the phone's headphone jack. I think that will work, yet it will only be mono sound.
(This is the splitter I ordered: StarTech.com 4 Position Microphone and Headphone Splitter – 3.5 mm – 4 Pin / 4 Pole – Mic and Audio Combo Splitter Cable (MUYHSMFFADW) )
Thanks in advance,
drcarl
