Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone, 130dB SPL , Lightning connector

A pinnacle of portable recording technology, the Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone transforms your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into a high-fidelity field recorder, perfect for capturing everything from live music and interviews to meetings and lectures. Its compact design, featuring a convenient Lightning connector, ensures that it is not only travel-friendly but also quick to set up and use with most iOS devices - even with their cases on, thanks to the extended connector and removable spacer.

The iQ6 boasts two premium unidirectional condenser microphones arranged in an X/Y configuration, mirroring the acclaimed setup found in the Zoom H4n Handy Recorder. This arrangement is ideal for capturing a broad soundscape while maintaining a sharp focus on the sounds directly in front of the microphone. With the flexibility to adjust the microphone angles from 90 degrees for a more focused sound to 120 degrees for a wider stereo image, the iQ6 offers versatility and realism in your recordings.

Precision is key in audio recording, and the iQ6 excels with its large, analog-style MIC GAIN wheel and three-segment level LEDs, which together ensure optimal audio levels in diverse environments. From the quietest of whispers to the loudest of concerts, the iQ6 can handle sound pressure levels up to 130dB without distortion, delivering crystal-clear audio every time.

Monitoring your recordings is just as important as capturing them, and the iQ6's dedicated headphone jack, which also serves as a line output, allows for real-time audio monitoring during both recording and playback sessions.

Enhance your creative toolkit with the free Zoom Handy Recorder app, available from the iTunes App Store. This app not only provides onscreen level metering for precision but also offers a suite of tools to fine-tune your recordings. Choose from linear PCM format for uncompromised audio quality or AAC to save on storage space. Add compression, EQ, and reverb effects to tailor your sound, and easily share your work with the world via email or SoundCloud.

The iQ6's compatibility extends beyond Zoom's Handy Recorder app. It works seamlessly with a multitude of iOS apps that accept external microphone input, broadening its use to voice recognition, live streaming, and music recording applications. Whether you're a journalist, musician, podcaster, or content creator, the Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone is an indispensable asset for anyone seeking high-quality, durable, and innovative audio recording solutions.
