About Tascam IXJ2
The Tascam iXJ2 - Mic/Line Preamplifier for iOS Devices connects to morph your iPad, iPhone or iPod into a high-quality digital recorder. The iXJ2 records 2 channels of audio at 16-bit/44.1kHz (CD quality) resolution from one of its two unbalanced 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mic/line inputs. Both inputs can also be used simultaneously in mono and even summed to one mono signal from there. The free Linear PCM Recorder App, available on the iTunes App Store, provides optimized functionality.
Both of the iXJ2's inputs offer independent level control and switchable plug in power. A 3-way switch chooses between the two stereo input jacks and both as left/right mono inputs. When recording left/right mono channels, the built-in analog limiter can be linked to attack/release identically on both sides. The iXJ2 has a JRC operational amplifier that provides up a 56dB gain range on each channel.
The Tascam iXJ2 weighs just over 1 ounce, adding almost no mass at all to your iOS device. It has an onboard USB Mini type B port, allowing you to charge your device during operation despite the docking connector being in use.
Tascam IXJ2 Features
- Ideal for small-broadcast recording: Two inputs for Vertical or Horizontal use in Mono or Stereo Independent input volume and LEDMONO SUM feature ideal for voice-recording and broadcasting
- High-performance audio circuits for high-quality sound: Both inputs designed to receive microphone or line level JRC NJM4580 operational amplifier AK5357 A/D converter
- Two inputs for Vertical or Horizontal use in Mono or Stereo: The iXJ2 has two 3.5mm (1/8") stereo-mini inputs for connecting either a monaural clip-microphone or a stereo microphone. The two inputs are placed on different sides of the device providing vertical or horizontal use
- Independent input volume and LED makes fine-tuning quick and easy: Inputs A/B can be adjusted independently making it possible to connect different sources to each input. For instance when using two mics for two people, you can make individual fine adjustments for each person
- MONO SUM feature - ideal for voice-recording and broadcasting: The MONO SUM feature, perfect for recording two people at once, mixes the monaural sound (same as L/R) from the two inputs. If the MONO SUM switch is set to ON, both input sounds are placed in the center
- Both inputs designed to receive microphone or line level: Both inputs accept a very wide input gain range - up to 56dB. This allows the connection of anything from keyboards, stereo audio players and other line level outputs
- Mounted JRC NJM4580 operational amplifier provides clear sound: iXJ2's pre-amplifier circuit adopts the acclaimed NJM4580 operational amplifier to guarantee clear, crisp and decisive sound quality
- Stereo limiter with independent operation for each channel: The analog limiter reduces distortion when the input is pushed too hard. Select from stereo link operation and independent operation in order to meet your recording needs
- Mounted AK5357 A/D converter provides top-notch digital transference to your iOS devices: For amazing audio performance, the iXJ2 employs an AKM A/D converter to ensure that sound passing through the TASCAM unit to the iOS device does not degrade
