Zoom Am7 on iPhone 15 Pro - Sound Test

I used to use the Zoom iQ7 on the iPhone. With the iPhone 15 and USB-C that only worked with an adapter.
I found no information whether the Zoom Am7 would work on an iPhone 15, which I tested here.
Next to the superior sound compared to the iPhone microphones, there is a big advantage using the Zoom Am7: When you zoom on the iPhone, it changes the stereo spectrum to mono. With the Zoom Am7 it doesn't, it stays in stereo.
I did not bring the windscreen noise protection, hence some noise is audible. I've chosen a location with sound from all sides to clearly hear the stereo spectrum.
You can see and hear the negative effect with the iPhone with its built in microphones here:

If you want to record audio only, I recommend this app: apps.apple.com/ch/app/auphoni... - Auphonic recorder. It records in Stereo with the AM7. And it's a free app, and no in-app purchases.

Thanks for the info Michael, I will buy Am7 and use it. I contacted the manufacturer and was told it is not compatible with the iPhone 15. Thank you. From Japan.

[@MichaelSengers]

Good to hear. Yes it works 😊

[@David3Wise]

Thank you Michael Really appreciate you uploading this. I was wondering if the Zoom Am7 Mic would work with the iPhone 15 There's a clear difference in stereo field and detail - just ordered one.

Guten Tag Michael, Ich habe früher das MV88 von Shure mit meinem iPhone 12pro für Live-Musikaufnahmen verwendet. Mit der Video-App Pro Camera habe ich schöne Aufnahmen gemacht. Könnte das Zoom auch mit dieser App (Pro Camera) funktionieren? Viele Grüße. Berend

[@MichaelSengers]

Das MV88 kenne ich nicht. Diese Aufnahme ist mit dem Zoom iQ6 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXW6gXeumJ2Uacksi=WwIykAI-cPP85w0q - Das Zoom Am7 ist identisch, aber mit USB-C. Ob es mit der mit der Pro Camera funktioniert kann ich nicht sagen. Aber ich nehme es an

I used IQ7 with my 13 Pro Max, now when I switched to iPhone 15 Pro, I didn't know if AM7 will work. Thanks! Btw, did you have to disable all the radio(airplane mode) too on you iPhone to avoid noise on IQ7? And do you have to use airplane mode on usb-c version too?

[@MichaelSengers]

yes, on the IQ7 and on the Am7, you must put the iPhone into airplane mode, otherwise you get a lot of noise

[@TheRelaxingAmbienceSounds]

Thanks. I bought already AM7 as I'm ok with the phone being in airplane mode, it's my secondary phone for videography only. I'll get it tomorrow! :) @@MichaelSengers

Here is a recent example with the Zoom Am7 and the iPhone in a concert kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYK2hmxtpd6ihdk

[@heyitzLou]

Do the gain/volume control and stereo width switch controls work while using the iphone 15?

[@MichaelSengers]

volume control yes. stereo width not sure. did not hear a difference

Hi 🙂 I will buy zoom AM7 but I’m still not sure if it works with IPhone 15 max pro 🤔🤔 do you have in your phone USB C yes ? Is everything Ok ?

[@MichaelSengers]

Hello. This is what this video is all about 🙂

[@berendester]

Hallo Michael, Du hast also den Zoom AM7 mit USB-C an ein iPhone 15 pro angeschlossen. Dieses Mikrofon ist für Android gedacht, richtig? Haben Sie also auch eine App mit ihm für IOS. Zufälligerweise habe ich auch ein iPhone 15 pro und bin auf der Suche nach einem guten externen Stereomikrofon, um Live-Musik aufzunehmen. Viele Grüße, Berend Hello Michael, So you connected the Zoom AM7 with USB-C to an iPhone 15 pro. This microphone is meant for Android, right? So do you also have an app with it for IOS. Because I also have an iPhone 15 pro and am looking for a good external stereo microphone to record live music. Regards, Berend

[@MichaelSengers]

Hallo Berend. Stimmt. Das Zoom Am7 am iPhone 15 Pro. Man braucht keine spezielle App. Für Video kann man die iPhone Kamera App verwenden. Für ausschliesslich Tonaufnahmen die 'HandyRec.' von Zoom. So wie es mit dem Zoom iq6 auf dem iPhone mit Lightning funktioniert hat, geht es jetzt mit dem Zoom Am7 auf dem iPhone 15.

[@MichaelSengers]

@berendester Hier ein aktuelles Video mit dem Am7 und dem iPhone kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYK2hmxtpd6ihdk

[@PatrickRey]

Thank you Michael … BUT, unfortunately, my Am7 with USB C plugged to iPhone 15 ProMax only delivers mono on the HandyRec app !! I think the problem is the app !! I tested the Am7 with video on iPhone and it seems that it delivers stereo, when the iPhone mic is only mono !! I also tested with the MacBookPro and QuickTime Player (new audio recording), and it is stereo !!

[@MichaelSengers]

oh. You're right. The HandyRec displays Mono. And a recording test is mono indeed. Hope they update their app. The iPhone Camera though is in Stereo. By the way, I tested it on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and it works as well, just a bit clumsy

[@MichaelSengers]

Found this app apps.apple.com/ch/app/auphonic-recorder/id1081792712 - Auphonic recorder. It records in Stereo with the AM7. And it's a free app, and no in-app purchases

[@PatrickRey]

Merci bien ! It works on iphone and Mac !! Better than the Zoom app 😊

[@saigonproducer]

does it record stereo with the voice memo app? I would use it to record guitar, no need for video.

[@MichaelSengers]

It seems to record in mono with the Zoom HandyRec app. But found this app apps.apple.com/ch/app/auphonic-recorder/id1081792712 - Auphonic recorder. It records in Stereo with the AM7. And it's a free app, and no in-app purchases

@@MichaelSengers I meant the Voice Memo app on iPhone. Not the zoom app
