DIY Microphone Cable for iPod Touch (2nd Gen) - use Skype VOIP using a PC headset and this Splitter Cable

How To Make An iPhone App E-Book

Option 1 - Y Splitter Adapter Mic/Headphone Converter Cable

Put together your own Y Splitter Adapter Mic/Speaker Cable as shown in the circuit diagram below to use a PC Mic Headset with the iPod Touch (2nd Generation only) and iPhone.   This works great with the new Skype software on the iPod Touch 2nd Gen so you essentially have a Wifi cellphone on your iPod.  This will also work with the iPhone if you prefer to use a headset rather than the built in microphone.

 The other benefit of this option is you can use a higher quality microphone with your iPod/iPhone than would be available with just a headset connection as described below.

Here's a picture of the adapter cable described above - you can use shorter lengths and shielded audio cable for better and neater cabling.  Remember to put the caps on the wire before soldering the cables to the plug and sockets.

Option 2 - Direct Microphone Headset Cable ConversionHow to Make iPhone App

You can also use the same connections as above with a PC headset that has had it's two standard plugs cut off.

Wire the headphone into the pins 1-3 of the plug and connect the microphone wires to pin 3 and 4.  This way you won't need to buy the two stereo 3.5mm sockets and the cable will end in a neater connection.

Recent Testimonials

"We are extremely impressed by our recent experience of dealing with the eDIY team. They are Professional, reliable and imaginative. We Highly recommend them, they have managed to create a website for us that I am sure our prospective customers will find interesting and informative."

"I have a lot of experience writing copy and taking photos for web sites, and also managing content for web sites through content management systems, however I had never put an entire web site together from just a page design template. In deciding to give it a go, I hunted around for an economical solution that also appeared easy to use and came across EDIY.

Having built one web site with EDIY I can unequivocally say that I will build many more with EDIY. I am very pleased with the result, their support team has been very pleasant to deal with and I can't think how it would be possible for a non technical person who is also lacking in graphic design skills apart from Powerpoint, to be able to build a web site from the ground up for less money."
