Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Zoom iQ7 is a compact mid-side stereo condenser microphone for Lightning-equipped iOS devices. Connect it for audio-only or video recording, set the input with the front-facing gain knob, and monitor through its headphone/line-output jack. Its rotating body keeps the stereo channels correctly oriented when you change from audio capture to video. Choose a 90° image, a wider 120° image with ambience and room signal, or raw M-S recording for later width adjustment in Zoom's Handy Recorder app.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Recording music or video audio directly to a Lightning-equipped iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
  • Capturing a centered source at 90° or a wider image including ambience at 120°.
  • Monitoring input while recording and playback through the dedicated headphone output.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • iOS devices without a Lightning connector.
  • Cases that still block the connection after the removable spacer is taken off.
