Zoom iQ7 vs iPhone 6s Plus

Here is an audio comparison of the Zoom iQ7 microphone and the internal mic on the iPhone 6s Plus. On the Zoom, the mid-side (M-S) mode was used, with a width of 90 degrees set using the Handy Recorder app.

Sometimes seems that iphone 6s mic get better bass specially with the bass drum sounds a lot stronger, those iPhone mics are great also.

Great video 👍 the difference in sound is fantastic 👍

[@richhann1155]

Great sound; do you have some settings you could share for recording live like that? Or some pointers...

[@turbofreddy]

Very convincing thanks

[@tjsingh6439]

The phone sounds better...the external mic cant pickup the bass or what? Is there a mixing option on the external mic and they cut all the bass...it sounds anemic compared to the phone by itself.

Great, thats told me what I need. I only have a 6s and I think it only records in mono.

[@lennarthedlund9783]

Very strange, but there is less bass with the iq7.

[@charissealijahabaya753]

I can't tell the difference between the two

[@oddities-whatnot]

The stereo sound is much better from the external mic. You need to put headphones on to hear the difference, not just play it from your smartphone speaker.
