How to use

Connect a microphone directly into the Lightning port of a compatible iPhone or iPad. Position the microphone near the sound source or clip it to clothing as needed for interviews or vlogging. Use the device's built-in recording app or a third-party recording application that accepts external digital microphones. Test audio levels before recording and monitor recordings on the device to ensure clear capture.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the microphone 10–30 cm from the speaker's mouth and avoid direct wind or strong ambient noise. When recording two-person interviews, use one microphone per speaker and label channels in your recording app if supported. Store the microphones in a dry, padded case when not in use to protect connectors and housing.
