@endolith Is there a list of products that can do that? Also does it need any USB Controller side support?

comment What is the output of an iPhone headphone jack?
Indeed.. But it takes the left channel of the audio to send to that mono speaker..

Hmmm.. This is out of my range of expertise.. You should update your question with your new findings though..

comment How to get rid of static background hum
OK. I just checked that the interface is powered by USB.. Are you using a laptop or a desktop? If you're using a laptop, check if running it from just battery (plugging out the power cord) helps..

Great answer.. In my experience with the Zoom, most of the time, just normalizing helps quite a bit.. :)

Not all microphones need phantom power. Mostly only the condensers need it..

I am just wondering if the pickup outputs at a much lower voltage level than expected by the LightSnake. Can you check if the LightSnake has any specs on input levels?? And the same with your pickup for output levels?

So basically (electrical) impedance is a property of all electrical devices. For the best transfer of audio through a chain of devices happens with all the impedances are matched (equal).

For conversion I can recommend SoX.. It's a command line utility, and it can allow you to make a batch change of format for all files.. sox.sourceforge.net
