TheiXm Recording MicrophonefromYellowtecfeatures the LEA onboard DSP engine that offers optimum audio levels, regardless of the environment. iXm uses SDHC media to store recordings. The SD card slot accepts cards up to 32GB and is designed to prevent accidental ejection. If you share iXm with other team members, take your SD card with you and use it with any external SD card reader. If you don’t wish to swap memory cards, you can download your recordings via USB straight to a computer for sharing and editing. The iXm’s USB 2.0 port also allows you to recharge the internal li-ion battery and configure your personal preferences.
Use the built-in headphone output to listen to your recordings during a field check. The playback keys allow you to jump from track to track. Human voice announcements will guide you through the recording. There’s also a 3.5mm jack for recording line levels. The buttons on the iXm are rugged, large, and dust/waterproof; they are smooth to the touch yet reliable in repetitive field operations. The iXm features an easy dashboard with only three light-up icons for recording, battery, and memory status. The dual-power system allows the mic to be powered via its rechargeable internal battery as well as AA batteries, and either can be selected as the primary source.
The microphone comes with a field-interchangeable, twist-off-twist-on (TOTO) omnidirectional electret condenser capsule from Beyerdynamic. It has a wide natural frequency response and is designed for interviews in quiet environments. It features shockmount isolation, which protects your recordings from noise due to handheld use. You can quickly switch between different TOTO capsules (not included) in the field to suit your recording requirements. TOTO’s auto-sensing detects which type of mic head you’re using and automatically adapts the DSP to the right parameters, with no need for any manual settings.
The iXm Uplink app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play, allows you to play back, save, edit, and transfer your audio clips on your iOS or Android device. You can send your recordings to your studio instantly and enjoy helpful features like meta tags. The iXm also comes pre-loaded with a customizable toolkit that allows you to set your own personal preferences. It includes a multilevel password-protection system that makes it easy to control and design sound parameters, and it even offers individual configuration preferences.
