FAQs:

Is the Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone compatible with any other app besides the Handy Recorder App?

Take your audio creations to a whole new level with Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone. It works not only with Apple's Garageband and Voice Memo but with a variety of apps that support input from an external mic. Use the iQ6 microphone with music apps to record instruments and vocals in full-range stereo, with streaming apps to broadcast live performances, or with voice recognition apps to add premium-quality audio.

Will this microphone work on a Zoom meeting?

The Zoom iQ6 XY Stereo Microphone works with anything that uses your phone’s microphone. When you plug it in, it simply bypasses the phone’s microphone and works for your Zoom meeting.

Does it affect the headphone output sound quality if I use it for recording podcasts while mixing several inputs (music, skype, etc)?

The headphone will not affect the sound quality and will never produce a lower quality audio signal. Instead, the 3.5mm headphone jack doubles as a line out output, enabling direct monitoring during both playback and recording.
