With wireless mics, I like to see how far I can get before the signal drops out, especially when the transmitter loses line of sight with the receiver. Because I test the mics with a top-of-the-range iPhone (the 7Artisans mic was recorded on an iPhone 15 Pro Max) I do get nervous when I’m around 60 meters away from the iPhone - especially when I’ve left it perched on a wall in the city!
TRS analog output, USB-C and iOS digital output – universal compatibility with cameras, mobile devices and computers Any USB microphone is going to offer a massive step up in audio fidelity over the in-built microphone on your phone or tablet, but while you’re upgrading, you may as well choose a top-quality USB mic, ideally with a few specific features to help you out. Let’s take a look. Broadly speaking, any situation in which you’d normally use your phone or tablet’s on-board microphone can be drastically improved by using a USB microphone, as built-in mics in mobile devices are typically low quality. The AI-Micro is the perfect solution for connecting virtually any microphone with a 3.5mm output to an iPhone. This handy little audio interface features two high-quality microphone inputs and a headphone output for monitoring your audio, making it perfect for two-person interviews or podcasting on the go. The single best way to vastly improve the audio quality of your content is to use an external microphone. This doesn’t mean you have to start lugging around tonnes of recording gear either – there are many compact microphones in the RØDE range that deliver professional-quality audio and plug directly into your phone.
VLOGGER KIT USB-C EDITION
Its unique acoustic design delivers a rich, full-bodied sound that will instantly enhance the audio quality of your iPhone recordings. The VideoMic GO II is powered by your iPhone and features a universal USB output, meaning you can plug in a USB-C to Lightning cable such as the SC15 or SC19 and start recording, it’s that simple. It's also compatible with the RØDE Central Mobile app for even more expanded features and controls, as well as the free RØDE Reporter app for recording high-quality audio for podcasts, livestreams, vlogs, films – the possibilitiesare endless.
There are a few different standards of connection available in USB mics, but we’d recommend you opt for a USB-C microphone. This is the latest standard and will give you the greatest flexibility when connecting your mic to a mobile device, often allowing for a single cable.Read our full Hollyland Lark Max Duo review for more details How to choose the best iPhone microphone For a more discrete way to record your voice, you can clip the transmitter onto your belt (out of sight) and then plug a supplied lavalier cable mic into the transmitter. The lavalier clip mic’s cable can go inside your shirt with only its small mic visible when clipped to the top of your shirt. Option to record each channel separately or combine them for ultimate flexibility in post-production With a shotgun mic, you need a smartphone cage or smartphone tripod mount that has a cold shoe slot to attach the gun mic to, such as the JOBY GripTight. The mic slots into the cold shoe mount and you then plug it into your iPhone. Do I need an adaptor to connect a mic to an iPhone?
The key decision you need to make is whether you need a wireless mic kit or an on-camera shotgun mic?The iOS Vlogger Kit contains everything you need to get professional results when filming using your iPhone. The VideoMic Me-L microphone connects directly to your device, delivering crisp, clear, directional sound for any application. The SmartGrip secures your device firmly in place for stable recording and connects seamlessly to the Tripod 2 for either handheld or tabletop use, while the MicroLED ensures all your shots are perfectly lit. Like the Saramonic BlinkMe, the Wireless Pro has on-board recording on its transmitters, so if the signal drops out due to loss of line of sight between transmitter and receiver you can still rescue the audio from the file that’s been recorded directly onto the transmitter.
By shooting with a mic mounted on this rig you’ll not get mistaken for a wedding guest with an iPhone, so if you need to look more professional then a directional gun mic (and its accompanying accessories) should suit your needs. Whether it’s for vlogging, filmmaking, making a podcast, or recording music, let’s take a look at the top RØDE mics for recording with an iPhone. The VideoMic Me-L is compatible with all Apple iOS devices with a Lightning port and running iOS 11 or higher. Key Features: The world’s smallest and first truly wireless microphone has been reborn. The Wireless GO II is an ultra-compact and extremely versatile wireless microphone system consisting of a dual channel receiver and two transmitters. Incorporating the same unique form factor and professional sound quality as the original Wireless GO with groundbreaking, patent-pending technology, the Wireless GO II is the perfect microphone for a wide range of content creation applications. Assuming your microphone has a USB-C output, the simplest way to connect your iPhone or iPad to the USB mic is via a Lightning Accessory Cable like the SC15 or SC19. These cables directly bridge USB-C and Lightning ports and are all that’s needed to set up your USB mic with your iPhone or iPad, granted your device can provide enough power (see above note).Intelligent GainAssist technology, flexible output gain control and safety channel for ensuring pristine audio when recording direct to camera The Wireless GO II takes wireless versatility to new heights. Featuring a 3.5mm TRS analog output for plugging into cameras, plus a digital audio output via USB-C for plugging into smartphones, tablets and computers, it is perfect for content creation, filmmaking, on-camera or on-stage presentations, vlogging, YouTubing, livestreaming and more. The Wireless GO system auto-pairs in under three seconds and transmits via RØDE’s Series III digital 2.4GHz transmission, which is optimised for shorter range operation in dense RF and Wi-Fi environments, but also offers an impressive line-of-sight range of 70m. There is a 3-stage gain control to tailor your output precisely to your camera or recording device and a handy battery-saver mode. The in-built lithium-ion batteries last up to 7 hours and are charged via USB-C. All-In-One For Run ‘n’ Gun Fortunately, there are plenty of microphones available that will elevate the quality of our audio recordings so that they match the production values of our HDR video clips from the best iPhones.
