Hi everyone, this is John from Zoom and in this video, we’ll go over the benefits of using the iQ7 stereo microphone with your iOS device for better quality mobile recordings.
The iQ7 has two microphone elements: one is a directional "mid" mic that captures signal coming directly from the front of your iOS device. The other is a bi-directional "side" mic that captures audio coming from the left and right sides. Mid-side is an advanced recording technique that allows the width of the stereo image to be varied to create a wide stereo field, or a narrow, targeted sound, even in post-production. This gives a whole new level of precision in your ability to shape sound.
A three-way switch allows you to select between 90 degrees and 120 degrees, depending on your desired stereo width. Choosing 90 degrees allows the iQ7 to focus on sounds coming from the center, while choosing 120 degrees allows you to capture a wider image that includes more room sound and ambience. A third setting, labeled "M-S," lets you record "raw" audio and adjust its stereo width or image using your audio software. This setting is available when using the Zoom Handy Recorder app. Lastly, the iQ7 has a rotatable capsule which will allow for the correct microphone orientation depending on if you are recording audio, or video.
Let’s compare recordings from the built-in mono iOS microphone and the stereo iQ7 in the 90 degree setting. We will start with the iOS microphone.
In comparison to the iOS microphone, the iQ7 records audio that’s fuller and clearer than the iOS microphone itself. Notice that you also get a stereo width from the addition of the iQ7’s bi-directional side mic that cannot be achieved using the mono iOS mic.
Whether you're recording performances or live-streaming video on Facebook or Instagram, the iQ7 offers you a convenient and portable way to capture great audio anywhere.

I was going to purchase the Shure mv88 microphone. After watching this review I'm sold on this Zoom mic . Thank you for posting this video I found your review to be extremely helpful.
we love our Q8, this product will be in our hands soon TY
owned two iq7 in the past, very nice device. Looking forward to iq8
I wanted to buy one in order to use it to register my classes in the university. What do you think about? Would it be useful?
THANK! YOU! SO! MUCH!! Would this work for recording Ocarina (flute like instrument) and Piano?
Wish you would have done a loud band setting and show the 120 set up
What guitar is used here? Looks amazing! Small and playable
Have you resolved the issue where the mic is not supported with IOS 11 or higher?
Great! Thanks! 😊
THANK YOU 🙏
Is the Midside mic the one with LR printed on it? What does the little arrow mean?
Great, thats the mic I want. Cheers.
Did you try it?
can i use it with filmic pro ??
Is this compatible with FilmicPro app?
Hi! What brand/model guitar was used for this video? Thanks!
@@austinorlando5618 You're an idiot. I just reported you for posting info on how to perform illegal activities. Get a life and stop spamming people in order to push downloads of apps that enable others to cause havoc for someone else. Moron.
You may have adressed this but can you use this mic and record video on your iPhone? (I use my iPhone for everything).
Yes!
Once you've recorded with this mic, can you then transfer the files to your DAW for further processing?
yes you should be able to!
Good descriptive video. A little frustrating that the iq7 audio is louder than the original iphone video right? Misleads the ear because louder is better.
just adjust your own volume. the difference is still very audible
The iq7 works only with zoom app? Or its possible recording with native iOS vídeo app?
You can use the native iOS camera app
Anyone know what song is being played on the guitar?
My iphone is 12 pro Max. When I used IQ7 to record my daughter's performance on piano, why I heard the obvious noise just like the electrical impulse on the recording. What I should do? Many thanks!

Since this is an older product, will this still work with newer iPhones/IOS 14?
I bought one with new iphone and it works
Can I use it with iPhone 7 Plus ?
Yes!
Which iOS device did you use for comparison? People are saying it's not compatible with iPhone X or later than iPhone 6
Works with Instagram Live?
Can I use the interesting audio effects and mastering of the ZOOM Handy Recorder App also for the Video tone, or is it ONLY available in voice recording mode ??
the ios mic still sounded pretty good lol
That's what I was thinking.
It may have sounded ok as standard, but with the iQ7, you can definitely hear the difference in sound quality
Replace your ears
@@siddharthrai9185 good one, bro! obviously the dedicated zoom mic will be the better choice for somebody wanting belter audio quality
Can you use the zoom as a microphone on a macbook pro ?
The iQ7 is only compatible with iOS devices that have Lightning ports such as iPhones or iPads.
It does not fit onto the iPhone with a case on leaving your iPhone completely vulnerable to breakage, especially glass backed iPhones, Why wouldn't you make the connection so it fits into any case, seems like an extremely obvious design oversight ?
There is a black plastic spacer at the bottom of the iQ7 that can be removed for this exact reason. If it still does not fit, you will need to use a short Lightning extension cable.
Remember I!7 it's a stereo microphone, iOS default just mono...
every demo video shows not having an iPhone or iPad case :(
Hi, can charge the iOS device when the mic is attached?
This would not be possible.
make it happen in the next build! and make it extra durable, no plastic
I’ve just bought the IQ7 and downloaded the app, but the editing function doesn’t work-touching the cut button has no result at all
Please email info@zoom-na.com or call (631) 542-5270
@@ZoomSoundLab Thank you for replying. I have now found that after you move the vertical editing lines the cut switch is activated, which ws not clear to me before
I just got one. For the life of me, I cannot figure out which side is the front side, meaning which side points to the source. Please help
Take a look at the diagram on the side of the mid microphone
can it record into garageband?
The iQ7 can be used with GarageBand on iPhones.
Can I use with iPhone X?
Yes!
forget the mic i wanna play guitar like him
Can’t tell any difference
