Lights… camera… action! Time to dramatically improve the audio quality of your mobile video productions.
Presenting iKlip A/V, the first broadcast mount designed to help you record professional audio and video with
your smartphone.
iKlip A/V has a high-end integrated XLR mic preamp with phantom power and built-in wireless receiver support
— two standard AA batteries provide the power. It also lets you record a superior video picture thanks to its
smartphone holder and hand-held grip. It works with any smartphone or camera that accepts a 1/8” TRRS
(CTIA/AHJ wiring standard) audio input. With iKlip A/V, now you have the ability to use your smartphone like a
full-featured camcorder.
iKlip A/V features a steady-shot grip and expandable holding bracket that shares the same technology as iKlip
Xpand Mini, IK’s popular mic stand support for smartphones. It can securely hold any iPhone, iPod touch or
Android device with a screen size from 3.5” to 6”. You can attach iKlip A/V to a monopod or tripod thanks
to its standard female threads on the underside for even more stability. You can also remove the iKlip Xpand
smartphone holder and attach other types of compact video cameras to its standard camera mount. No matter
how you use it, iKlip A/V delivers effortlessly stable picture quality.
iKlip A/V is compatible with all popular mobile video recording apps. Including favorites like Apple’s Camera app
as well as third party apps that provide more control, like Filmic Pro, Filmakr, Horizon Camera or MoviePro.

11. You are now able to record using your preferred microphone on your mobile device. To get optimal results,
adjust the GAIN control appropriately. Check the input level meter on the app you are using to record (like
iRig Recorder). This level meter should peak as high as possible but should never reach the maximum or
clipping level. To increase the iKlip A/V gain, rotate the knob toward the top of the unit. To decrease the iKlip
A/V gain, rotate the knob toward the bottom of the unit.
12. If you need to monitor what you are recording, connect your headphones to the headphone socket.
Remember that this output replicates the mobile device headphone output, so you will hear audio here only
with applications that support real-time input/output pass-through like iRig Recorder.
