This is a brief excerpt from FreshDV
This is pretty cool…at CES this week, RØDE announced the iXY kit, a high-quality stereo microphone for iPhone, iPad, and iTouch devices. It uses a 30-pin connector to jack directly in to your iOS device, and allows you to capture high quality audio in the field. I guess the 30-pin connector means that iPhone 5 users are out of luck at present, at least without using adapters.
The iXY kit consists of a pair of ½” cardioid condenser mics, arranged in a 90-degree configuration. The audio is captured on your iDevice with an app called Rode Rec, at sampling rates up to 24-bit/96kHz. There’s a foam wind shield, and a travel pouch, so you can stuff this in your gear bag and always have a field recorder handy.
The RØDE Rec app is $5.99, and they also offer a limited-feature free version of it called RØDE Rec LE. The iXY mic kit will set you back $199 in the Rode Store. They also show a picture of a DSLR shoe-mount for the iDevice on the top of a DSLR…but I can’t find that item in the store just yet.
