It provides a dedicated external microphone option for music, interviews, ambience, and other mobile audio-recording work. The microphone connects through the device’s Lightning port and is powered by the connected iOS device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts Mid-Side capsule arrangement combines a forward-facing mid microphone with a bidirectional side microphone. This design lets the user select a 90-degree or 120-degree stereo field at the microphone, or use M-S mode for later stereo-width adjustment in the compatible app. The result is a flexible stereo capture approach for sources ranging from focused speech to wider environmental sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe iQ7 includes a physical MIC GAIN control for setting recording level without relying only on touchscreen controls. An LED level indicator helps show connection and input status, including high-level conditions. With a maximum input sound pressure rating of 120 dB SPL, it is designed to accommodate a range of recording situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rotating capsule supports audio and video-oriented physical positions, allowing the microphone to be aimed toward the sound source as the device is held differently. A 1\/8-inch stereo mini output supports headphone monitoring and can also function as a line-level output. When used with the Zoom Handy Recorder app, the iQ7 supports direct monitoring from its output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor an upgrade from a mobile device’s built-in microphone, the iQ7 adds adjustable stereo width, manual gain control, and a dedicated monitoring connection in a pocketable format. It includes a foam windscreen for basic wind reduction and a removable case adjuster for use with some device cases. Confirm the iOS device and app are compatible before purchase, as the iQ7 is designed specifically for Lightning-equipped devices and is not compatible with video or voice-call apps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-Side Stereo Array:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captures stereo sound with adjustable width options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90°\/120°\/M-S Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose focused, wide, or adjustable stereo recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightning Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects directly to compatible iOS devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual Gain Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjust recording level with the onboard knob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone\/Line Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitor recordings or feed a line-level destination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotatable Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aim the microphone for audio or camera-oriented positioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe iQ7 uses a compact integrated microphone housing with a rotating Mid-Side capsule, onboard gain knob, stereo-width switch, LED indicator, Lightning connector, and 1\/8-inch stereo mini output. Its included foam windscreen fits the microphone for basic outdoor recording support. The removable case adjuster can help the connector fit with certain protective cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the iQ7 fully to the Lightning port of a supported iOS device, then open Zoom Handy Recorder or another app that supports microphone input. Point the arrow on the mid microphone toward the source, choose the desired stereo-width setting, and set gain while watching the level indicator. For cleaner recordings, Zoom advises using Airplane Mode because wireless activity can introduce noise and phone calls stop recording.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669231427654,"sku":"ZiQ7","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/81rdHIy-ZAL.jpg?v=1784486627","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/zoom-iq7-lightning-mid-side-stereo-microphone-for-ios","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
