Capture better recordings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Plug a mic or line source into the TASCAM iJX2 interface's 1/8" jack and dial in precise gain.

The TASCAM iXJ2 allows an Apple iPhone 4/4S, iPad or iPod Touch 4G to be used with preferred microphones or line level sources (instruments) to create CD-quality audio recordings. This handy extension is simply plugged into the dock connector of the iOS device and is connected with up to two mono or stereo sources that can be selected via a switch. Switchable plug-in power for small microphones and mono summing for news gathering are also available.

The built-in A/D converter ensures high audio quality and low noise. Separate input level controls and two-colour level indicators for the left and right channels make level adjustments easy, and a switchable limiter can reduce sudden peaks and thus protect against unforeseen overload.

The iXJ2 is powered through the dock connector, so no battery is required. A USB input is provided to charge the iOS device for long recordings, either through a computer or a USB charger.

An appropriate 2-track recording application (TASCAM PCM Recorder) for iOS devices can be downloaded from AppStore at no charge.
