Tascam iM2

Tascam’s iM2 turns the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch into a stereo recorder. A pair of condenser microphones – same quality as Tascam’s DR-series recorders – plugs into the dock connector of your Apple device. The microphones are adjustable over 180 degrees for sound placement. The iM2 contains its own microphone preamp and analog-to-digital converter. Unlike mics that use the built-in iPhone preamp, the iM2 can handle up to 125dB SPL sounds.

 

Also enclosed in the iM2, is a stereo limiter to tame sudden loud sounds. The microphone level is adjustable with a knob on the side. It’s powered through the dock connector so no battery is required. A USB input is provided to charge your Apple iOS device for long recordings, either through a computer or Tascam’s PS-P515U power adapter.
