Great review and instructive. I just received my iXm this morning from corporate. I work as a reporter/anchor for the K-LOVE and Air1 Radio Networks. I have been in broadcasting for decades and used to do interviews on cassette players. Whoa, I've finally lived longed enough and remained gainfully employed in the business to witness the coolest thing to come down the pike in my career. Will give it a 'baptism' of fire this afternoon during a scheduled interview with Colorado's state Attorney General. Can't wait! Exceptionally well designed. BTW, will copy and paste tpday's audio from SD card to Adobe Audition CS6. While I focus mainly on audio, AA is a great platform for editing video-audio as well. Hard to beat this puppy.
Dave, I could have commented on this the same day you did the review. Nothing has changed in my line of work since you did the review. And I guess the same for many others. 1: Most of us camera men need to listen to the recording while the reporter is doing the interview. Not possible if you don't want to have cable from the reporter's microphone (Yellowtec iXm) to your ear. 2: Other comments here are mentioning the need of a built in pop filter and drop outs. I agree with them. 3: While doing interviews on the Red Carpet here in Hollywood - you would be hassled every minute for not using hard wire. No wireless microphones are allowed on the Red Carpet. This looks like a wireless system. ;=))) 3: There is no space to put a microphone flag on this microphone. Thank you for a great review - even if it wasn't for a lot of us camera men in Hollywood.
Hello! Thanks for the review! In your first "unboxing"-video you promised you gonna tell us here, what the yellow 3.5mm-jack is supposed to do - did I miss hearing it or did you not find out? greetings from germany
Thanks for your reply , but Google is wild network,, Can you send me the link? furthermore, am living here in KSA it can be delivered where am leaving in KSA?
A great unit. Not really that useful for video work though, as you'd have to manually sync the audio. You'd be better off with a good mic (and perhaps an external pre) running straight into your camera, if that's your main type of work. The Ixm is a radio unit.
Sorry, but I can't see any advantage over using a good personal digital recorder , like the Sony M10, perhaps with an omni plug-in mic, at a fraction of the price. If it was cheaper, it might be worthwhile, but not at this price for no real advantage. A good wireless system will do a better job, in a suitable environment, and avoids the need to sync with the video. Sorry, but it's just too overpriced.

Great review Dave! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these.
Sounded a bit over done on the AGC? It was cutting the level when you were a bit louder? Shame you can’t set the levels first. Maybe you can?

***** Good points indeed, I guess they will refine it for a future upgrade.
Great review, but it seems to be having auto gain issues with dropouts. Can you fix this via the program as you mentioned?

Can you do a software installation video for mac, I can't seem to figure out how to connect the mic to my mac and all the instructions are for PC.
Great review Dave, thanks :).
Great and detailed review. Thank you a lot.

+danielsfotoscom Thanks so much, welcome to the Geekanoids community.
I think it's really good however it is necessary to get a pop filter for it. Really good for the price though :)
Great Job!
+Andrew Mwangi Thank you Andrew.
Thanks ... How much it cost?
Pricing is available on Google.

Sound quality was amazing. $800 amazing? Not sure.
Thanks for your feedback on this Lucas.
Not bad it moves a lot of the sibilance.
