TRRS (i.e. 4 contacts) are the pins used on headsets, allowing for audio in and audio out - they're used in phones, and in laptops/tablets, while desktops typically have separate, 3 contact TRS, audio out and mic in sockets. I'm an expert because I hit the same problem myself yesterday connecting an older mic to my laptop - it wouldn't work. I ordered an adapter (TRS pin to TRRS socket) online today. It sounds like you want the opposite one: TRRS pin to TRS socket. I guess your mic was designed for connecting to a smartphone.

This is nothing to do with Leica - it's the same socket on my Sigma fp, which is designed for video. What Sony was it that you said it worked with?

I have an SL2 and connected my external mic Sennheiser MKE600 and I see audio levels coming through, but I can't hear anything from my headphones that are plugged into SL2 as well. Should I not be using headphones that has a mic built into it. I've even tried the generic Apple headphones with mic and it still doesn't work. Thoughts? The Sennheiser is self powered so I shouldn't need phantom power. I've tried with smaller Rode mic and same thing. I've even connect a DJI Mic 2 and connect the RX out to the SL2 and I plugged same headphones into RX and I can hear audio, but I kind of want to work with the Sennheiser instead and don't want to hook up a DJI Mic lav.

The Mic has a battery that provides power, you should be able to set the Mic lever to -12db.

I had the same issue with many headphones, you need a regular stereo plug TRS. The port on the camera reacts differently when you plug in a TRSS, that is used from the remote cable.

After trying many studio headsets, which everyone uses for audio monitoring, I was looking for something small that does not get me hot in the summer.

I landed on a Sennheiser IE 4 Earphones, and they sound great and very light.
