Hello farm podcasters. How many of you really like using your iPhone to record interviews? How many of you wish you could plug in your own microphone? Sometimes that would be best, like in a noisy room. It would also be handy to plug in the audio from a mult box during a press conference or other presentation too. I’m looking into devices to help make this happen for a professional improvement session I’ll be conducting during the upcoming NAFB convention. Here’s one that was just announced by TASCAM – the iXZ.
TASCAM, a well known veteran for creating home recording devices, today introduced a pocket sized iXZ Mic/Instrument Input for iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch. This powerful little gadget turns an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch into an instant recording studio. Plug in a microphone, guitar or bass to interact with the latest guitar amp, sampling, recording and DJ apps. The iXZ supplies phantom power for condenser microphones and input setting sets the gain. There is also a headphone output to monitor from your iOS device.
iXZ can be used in various applications and will be sure to be an indispensable tool for anyone who enjoys creating music.
Features:
Switchable mic/line input
Phantom power
Gain control
1/8” headphone output
XLR mic input
High-impedence guitar input
