Zoom iQ7 Mid-Side Stereo Microphone for iOS Devices

Description

The iQ7 mid-side stereo condenser mic is the ideal audio accessory for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Lightweight and compact, small enough to fit in your pocket, it is perfect for capturing music as well as video with great-sounding audio. Now anyone can create pristine quality recordings everywhere they go.

Prepare to make your mark on the world. The iQ7 adds a whole new dimension to iOS audio, providing extraordinary sound quality and comprehensive control, everything you need to move from bystander to creator.

Mid-side recording is a great way to capture stereo sound. The iQ7 contains two microphone elements: a directional ‘mid’ mic that captures audio coming from in front, and a bidirectional ‘side’ mic that covers the signal all around you.

A simple three-way stereo width switch on the iQ7 allows you to customize your recordings to your environment: Set it to 90 to focus on an individual sound, or 120 for a wider sound-stage that incorporates the surrounding ambiance. For even more control, you can record the mid and side mic signals as ‘raw’ M-S data so you can later adjust the stereo width from 30 to 150 with Zoom’s free Handy Recorder iOS app.

In addition to providing MS decoding for variable stereo width, it offers a variety of effects such as reverb and six-band EQ, as well as editing tools like Normalize and Divide. There’s also an automatic recording feature that allows you to start and stop recording whenever a particular level is reached, convenient when recording lectures or meetings.
