Tascam iM2

Tascam has unveiled the pocket-sized iM2 stereo mic for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch.

Tascam iM2 The iM2 effectively turns an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch into a high-quality stereo recorder, with a pair of condenser microphones plugged into the dock connector. The mics

are adjustable over 180° and use the iM2’s contains preamp and A/D converter. Unlike mics that use the built-in iPhone preamp, the iM2 can handle up to 125dB SPL sounds for loud concerts and instruments.

Also part of the iM2 is a stereo limiter, powered through the dock connector so no battery is required. A USB input is provided to charge an Apple iOS device for long recordings, either through a computer or Tascam’s PS-P515U power adapter.

A PCM Recorder app will be available shortly on the iTunes store at no charge.
