Compact, mid-side stereo condenser microphone for lightning equipped iOS devices that allows for high-quality 44.1 kHz/16-bit, mono-compatible audio tracking and is ideal for recording live concerts, ENG, videos and more. It features a rotating capsule that enables it to be used vertically or horizontally with any compatible iOS device (iPhone 5, iPod Touch – 5th generation, iPad – 4th generation, iPad mini – iOS 6.0 or newer). This allows recording of video with the device situated in either standard or landscape positions while ensuring that the audio is recorded with the correct left-right stereo orientation. The capsule contains two elements including a directional "mid" mic that captures audio coming from the front and a bidirectional "side" mic that picks up ambient sounds from the sides. The stereo width can be set to either 90° or 120°. Signals can be also recorded as raw data and the stereo width adjusted after with Zoom's Handy Recorder iOS app . The app also allows for collapsing the signal into phase-coherent mono, ideal for voice recordings such as interviews. In addition to Zoom’s Handy Recorder app, it can be used with most iOS apps that support audio input from an external microphone (such as GarageBand). Microphone allows you for setting the recording level manually by using the MIC GAIN wheel, or automatically by choosing from three Auto Gain presets: Concert, Solo or Meeting. The unit also features a built-in limiter for protection against input overloads, and a dedicated headphone jack that enables direct monitoring during recording and playback. Microphone is powered by the connected iOS device and provides lightning and USB Mini-B connector. Maximum SPL: 120 dB. Input gain: +0 to +40 dB. Dimension: 58.6 x 62.45 x 38.5 mm. Weight: 30.5 g.
