Zoom IQ7

Description

When you’re ready to take your iOS audio to the next level, plug in a Zoom iQ7. This compact yet full-featured mid-side stereo condenser mic is perfect for capturing music as well as video with outstanding audio. With the iQ7, you can create great-sounding recordings on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch any time, anyplace.

The iQ7 offers advanced features that allow you to create extraordinary stereo recordings every time. A large front-facing MIC GAIN knob allows you to easily set the optimum input level, and three-segment LED level meters ensure clean, crisp sound with no signaloverload.

In addition, a dedicated headphone jackwhich doubles as a line outputallows you to monitor your audio during both recording andplayback.

The iQ7 works with all Lightning-equipped iOS devices. It comes with an extended Lightning connector and a removable spacer for compatibility with most iPhone, iPad, and iPod cases. Leave your case on and startrecording.

The iQ7’s rotating mechanism ensures correct left-right stereo orientation whether you’re creating audio-only recordings or capturing audio for yourvideo.

Mid-side is an advanced recording technique that allows the width of the stereo image to be varied, even inpost-production.

The two microphone elements in the iQ7 include a directional “mid” mic that captures signal coming from directly in front of your iOS device, and a bidirectional “side” mic that captures the audio coming from bothsides.

A three-way switch allows you to select between 90 (to focus on sounds coming from the center) and 120 (for a wider image that includes ambience and room signal). A third setting, labeled “M-S,” enables you record the audio “raw” and adjust its stereo width afterwards, using Zoom’s free downloadable Handy Recorder iOSapp.
