The Zoom iQ6 stereo microphone

High-quality audio for today's iOS

At last, you can make great-sounding recordings with your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch! Just connect an iQ6 and get ready to capture the sound of concerts, interviews, meetings and lectures with astonishing realism. The iQ6 provides amazing sound in a package that's small enough to be slipped into your pocket, so you can take it with you wherever you go.

  • Works with any Lightning-equipped iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
  • Compatible with most iOS apps that support audio input from an external microphone, including GarageBand, Voice Memos, Camera, iMovies, Instagram, and Vine.
  • Stereo X/Y recording for wide coverage while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition.
  • Variable mic angles for a tightly focused image or immersive wide-angle stereo.
  • Three-segment LED meters and analog-type mic gain wheel for visual monitoring and precision level setting, plus a dedicated headphone jack that doubles as a line output
  • Comes with extended Lightning connector and removable spacer that allows use with most cases.
  • Free Handy Recorder app allows you to edit sound files and add effects

Capture the moment

Turn your favorite iOS device into a field recorder by connecting an iQ6. Whether it's a podcast on the fly, an impromptu concert or band rehearsal or a sound effect you want to incorporate into your next video, you can count on the iQ6 to capture the moment with superior audio.

X/Y recording made easy

The iQ6 features two high quality unidirectional condenser microphones in an X/Y configuration, the same ones used in our world-famous H4n Handy Recorder.

X/Y stereo recording is a great way to cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center 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. (US Patent 8184815)

It's all in the app

Download Zoom's free Handy Recorder app to add even more functionality to your iQ6. It provides a variety of effects such as compression, 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.

In addition, the Handy Recorder app allows the iQ6 to record audio in either linear PCM (WAV) format for full CD-quality, or in AAC format for smaller file sizes and faster data transfer. With Handy Recorder, you can even email your audio creations to friends and upload them to SoundCloud for sharing with the world.

    I use this to record interviews and I used a free audio editing software to edit it and it's been an easy and pleasant experience so far! The sound is clear and it can pick up a conversation really well. The layout of the app could be clearer, but it makes downloading the recorded files onto my computer easy.

    Good sound quality, disappointed that it's made of plastic, and you can really hear your hand moving on the device when you hold it, so it's better if you have a stand or something for the device when recording (or record loud sounds).

    The app is decent, overall good value. I'm looking forward to using it in the field.

    Microphone offers only marginal sound improvement, not worth the price charged.

    The free app is totally useless.

    This app doesn’t work with my iPhone 6 and iQ6 microphone. The changes in amplitude cannot be seen on their graphic representation. I would return the microphone to amazon but it does barely work with the native iPhone recorder , albeit with only a small improvement in sound quality.

    I wanted this to work and invested a few hours in sorting it out to no avail. Even for free this app costs too much!

    I use this to record my vocals for my music. It’s amazing & has really improved the quality of my production, however at first I thought it was broken because it would screech, turns out you have to put it on flight mode when you’re recording but I only found this out through another review as it stated nowhere on the instructions. Great mic if you know this

    1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - on a whole host of levels.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Where to start. I use this professionally as an audio journalist, I have used Zoom equipment before and so had high expectations. In fact I was confident enough to go ahead with the purchase, despite warnings online from other users. The biggest problem is that this is to big to be reliably connected to a phone through such a small connection. It's better rivals are either smaller, putting less pressure on the join, or have separate clips to hold it in place - both big improvements. It doesn't work well if there is a case, though the detachable lining which in theory makes it usable with a case is a good idea. Finally it is very inflexible in the way it can be used with other programmes and formats of recording. I need a good quality recording which can easily be sent on to others and used, so small file size and common formats are a must. This is frustrating and the Zoom app is not as good as others around. So, all in all, a disappointing product for the cost. It's worth paying a little more for something better.
