Up Your Impact
The iQ5 enables you to create anywhere and stir the world around you. Blur the line between observer and instigator by matching significant content with quality sound.
Versatility For Audio And Video
The iQ5 employs a unique rotating mechanism that enables audio recording with correct left-right stereo orientation whether used vertically or horizontally. Use it in standard audio position or simply rotate it to the video position in order to record video with the attached iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch held horizontally.
Mid-Side Stereo Made Easy
Mid-side recording makes it easy for anyone to record in realistic (and fully mono-compatible) stereo. The iQ5 contains two microphone elements: a directional mid mic that captures audio coming from in front, and a bidirectional side mic that covers ambient signal.
Stereo width can be customized to the precise recording situation: Set it to 90° to hone in on an individual sound, or 120° for a wider image that includes the surrounding ambience and reverberation. For even more control, record the mid and side mic signals as raw MS data so that you can later adjust the stereo width from 30° to 150° with Zoom's free Handy Recorder iOS app
Control + Monitor
Precision gain control The iQ5 makes it easy to capture great sound no matter what type of material youre recording. Dial in the exact input level you need with the analog-type MIC GAIN wheel, choose Auto Gain to automatically set the perfect recording level, or use the Limiter setting to avoid overloads.
Headphone monitoring The iQ5's dedicated headphone jack enables direct monitoring during both recording and playback.
Recorder App
Zoom's free Handy Recorder appis specially designed for use with the iQ5. Simply download it from the App Store and install it on your iOS devices. The Handy Recorder app allows you to record in linear PCM (WAV) 16-bit/44.1kHz format for CD-quality audio that accurately captures the full subtlety of acoustic instruments and spaces. When you need to conserve storage space for long recordings, you can instead record in compressed AAC format for smaller file sizes and faster data transfer.
A World Of Possibilities
The iQ5 can be used with most iOS apps that support audio input from an external microphone. Use it with the standard iOS Camera app to record high quality audio to go with your video and then use streaming apps to broadcast live performances.
