Zoom iQ6 iOS stereo microphone

Introducing the Zoom iQ6 iOS stereo microphone

Transform your iOS device into a field recorder by plugging in a Zoom iQ6. This stereo X/Y microphone is light and small enough to comfortably fit inside your pocket, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Record the sound of concerts, podcasts, meetings and more with precision and full fidelity, then share your recordings with the world!

This device comes with an extended Lightning connector and removable spacer that allows it to be used with most iPhone, iPad, and iPod cases. Simply plug your iQ6 in and start making great-sounding stereo recordings.

Powerful X/Y stereo recording

The iQ6 features two of Zoom’s impressive unidirectional condenser microphones in an X/Y configuration. X/Y stereo recording is a great way to cover a wide area, while still picking up sound sources in the centre with clarity and definition. You can even change the mic angle from 90 degrees for a tightly focused image to 120 degrees for immersive wide-angle stereo.

Capture quality sound on the spot

Create high-quality recordings, whether it's for an unexpected interview or a sound effect for your next video, you can count on the iQ6 to capture the moment with superior audio. The iQ6 is the perfect recording tool for situations where you don't want to miss a thing.

The iQ6's large analog-type MIC GAIN wheel and three-segment level LEDs ensure that you'll always get great audio in every environment with crystal clarity and no signal overload. Plus, the iQ6's dedicated headphone jack (which doubles as a line output) enables direct monitoring during both recording and playback.

Expanded compatibility

Expand your creativity and bring your creations to a whole new level with the iQ6. It not only works with Apple's Voice Memo and Garageband, but with most apps that support input from an external microphone. Use the iQ6 with voice recognition apps to add high-quality audio, with streaming apps to broadcast live performances, and with music apps to record vocals and instruments in full range stereo.

The Handy Recorder app

Take control with Zoom's Handy Recorder app, available for free from the iTunes Store. This app provides a wealth of tools for your iQ6 and iOS device, such as onscreen level metering, headphone volume control, and an automatic recording function.

Choose linear PCM format for the highest quality sound or AAC format to conserve storage space, then apply compression, EQ, and reverb effects to your recordings. Handy Recorder even allows you to email your files to friends and to upload them to SoundCloud for easy and convenient sharing.
