XY microphone configuration gives you true-to-life stereo sound

Like many of RODE's most popular stereo microphones, the iXY provides you with incredible stereo imaging that's free from phase issues. That's because the RODE iXY uses a near-coincident 90-degree configuration. Weather you're trying to capture your band's next rehearsal or ambient city sounds for your next video project, you'll be amazed how this mic makes your recordings come to life.

RODE Rec app lets you get even more from your iXY microphone

Beyond unlocking its full 24-bit/96k recording capability, the RODE Rec and RODE Rec LE apps provide valuable additional functions for your iXY microphone. A continuously adjustable input level control ensures that you'll get the perfect volume no matter what you want to record. What's more, there's a highpass filter built into the iXY, and when you connect it with the RODE Rec app, you can switch it on and off.

Bundled with the all of the essential accessories you need

When you buy a RODE iXY microphone for your iOS device, the only hidden surprise is the accessory package that comes with it. With the included reinforced protective zip case you can comfortably keep your iXY mic in your pocket, without having to worry about lint or other debris fouling up the capsules. It also comes standard with a custom cut foam windscreen, making it even easier to get great-sounding recordings outdoors.
