The iXY connects to your iPhone or iPad

via the Apple Dock Connector.

Simply insert the iXY connector into the

dock and push in firmly until it clicks

into place.

The LED indicator will illuminate green

to indicate that it is ready to record.

iXY was designed to be used in

conjunction with our broadcast quality

field recording app RØDE Rec,

available from the App Store.

The iXY will also work with a wide

range of other audio recording apps.

Please note that RØDE Rec is required to record in

24-bit/96kHz quality.

Get out and start recording!

From live music to lectures, business

meetings to filmmaking, iXY will give you

crystal clear audio.

Remember that iXY is also incredibly

portable, so you have no excuse not to

be able to capture highly detailed audio

whenever inspiration presents itself!

care

Never let the iXY get wet.

When not in use or in transit keep the iXY in

or scratches, and stop dust and moisture
from settling on the microphone capsules.

For long periods of storage we recommend
placing the iXY inside a small plastic bag
along with a bag of absorbent silica gel.

variable input level and headphone
monitoring to ensure you’re always
aware of what you’re recording.

Always keep the iXY at hand. Its
protective pouch can be easily
attached to a bag zipper or your

Remember to always
use the provided windshield when
recording outdoors. Even if there’s
no wind evident it’s better to be safe
than sorry. The RØDE DeadKitten furry
windshield is available as an optional
accessory for added environmental
protection.
