Zoom iQ7 Mid-Side Stereo Microphone for iOS Devices

Zoom iQ7 Mid-Side Stereo Microphone for iOS Devices

The Zoom iQ7 is a compact high-quality stereo microphone designed specifically for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. Built for mobile creators, musicians, filmmakers, and content producers, it delivers professional-grade mid-side stereo recording directly to your iOS device, making it an ideal solution for capturing rich, immersive audio on the go.

Professional Mid-Side Stereo Recording

The iQ7 uses an advanced mid-side (M-S) microphone configuration to deliver flexible stereo imaging. A directional mid microphone captures sound from the front, while a bidirectional side microphone captures ambient audio from both sides. This allows users to adjust stereo width in post-production for greater creative control and natural sound reproduction.

Selectable Stereo Width Control

With a three-position switch, the iQ7 allows you to choose between 90° (focused sound), 120° (wide ambient recording), and M-S raw mode for post-processing flexibility. This makes it suitable for everything from focused vocal recording to wide environmental soundscapes.

Built for Mobile Recording Excellence

The iQ7 connects directly to iOS devices via Lightning connector, enabling plug-and-play recording without additional equipment. It is powered directly by the connected device, making it highly portable and efficient for field recording, vlogging, interviews, and music capture.

Precise Gain Control and Monitoring

An integrated MIC GAIN control knob allows precise input level adjustment, while built-in LED meters help prevent clipping and distortion. A dedicated headphone jack enables real-time monitoring and playback, ensuring professional-level audio control during recording sessions.

Flexible Rotation for Perfect Stereo Orientation

The rotating microphone capsule ensures correct left-right stereo alignment whether recording video or audio-only content. This guarantees accurate sound positioning regardless of device orientation.

Compatible with Popular iOS Apps

The iQ7 works seamlessly with recording apps such as Apple Voice Memos, GarageBand, and Zoom’s Handy Recorder app. It supports high-quality recording formats and provides additional editing, effects, and sharing features through compatible software.
