Tascam recently introduced a pocket sized iM2 stereo mic for iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch.
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.
Features:
- Stereo condenser microphones for iPhone 4, iPod Touch or iPad dock connection
- Stereo condenser microphones – same as our best-selling DR-series recorders
- Microphones adjustable 180 degrees front to back
- Built-in analog to digital converter and microphone preamp for low noise recording

Pricing:
iM2 is available now at a street price of $79. A PCM Recorder app, companion to the iM2 will be available shortly on the iTunes store at no charge.
