Compact USB-C Audio Interface

The Saramonic SR-EA2U is a lightweight USB-C audio interface that adds a 3.5 mm microphone input and headphone output to Android phones, iOS devices and computers. It records at 16-bit/44.1kHz or 16-bit/48kHz and draws power from the host port. The gold-plated TRS/TRRS input accepts lavaliers, mini shotguns and wireless receivers with a simple switch. Its 1.93 x 0.63 x 0.39 inch body weighs only 0.32 oz for truly mobile use.

Mobile creators needing one mic input

Content creators who record with a single TRS or TRRS microphone and want real-time headphone monitoring will find this adapter fits the job. It requires no drivers and works the moment it is plugged in. Buyers who need more than one microphone channel, XLR connectivity, phantom power or higher sample rates should look at larger interfaces. The single 3.5 mm input limits it to one source at a time.

Gold-plated 3.5 mm TRS/TRRS microphone input

The switchable gold-plated 3.5 mm jack is the specification that decides compatibility. It accepts both TRS and TRRS microphones, including battery-powered and plug-in-powered models, without extra adapters. If your microphone uses XLR or requires 48 V phantom power, this interface cannot support it. The 3.5 mm headphone output provides real-time monitoring so you hear exactly what is being recorded.

Questions about this item

What cables or accessories come with the SR-EA2U and what must I buy separately?

The SR-EA2U ships as a standalone USB-C audio interface with a built-in 3.5 mm TRS/TRRS microphone input and a 3.5 mm TRS headphone output. You will need to supply your own TRS or TRRS microphone, headphones, and the USB-C host device (Android phone, iOS device, or computer).

The specs list 16-bit/44.1 kHz and 16-bit/48 kHz — which one should I choose for my recordings?

Both resolutions are supported; 44.1 kHz is the standard for music and podcast distribution, while 48 kHz is the broadcast standard for video. Pick 48 kHz if you are syncing audio to video, otherwise 44.1 kHz is fine for audio-only work.

How does the 16-bit/48 kHz figure translate to real-world recording quality on a phone or laptop?

At 16-bit/48 kHz the interface captures a dynamic range suitable for dialogue, voice-over, and acoustic instruments with low noise, and the gold-plated 3.5 mm jacks keep the signal clean from microphone through to headphones for real-time monitoring.
