High Quality RecordingWhen paired with a modern Apple (iOS) device, ClipMic digital delivers exceptional audio quality. The ME 2 omni-directional lavalier microphone captures the sound source while screening out unwanted background noise. Then the in-line, high resolution signal converter developed by Apogee digitally transmits the sound via the Lightning connector with exceptional clarity. |
Apogee MetaRecorder AppMetaRecorder is a recording app made specifically for ClipMic digital. With this simple to use app you can set the microphone level and activate a Rumble Reducer, Hiss Reducer and Overload Eliminator. MetaRecorder can be controlled from the Apple Watch – start and stop recording, add a take to Favorites, add Markers or set your microphone input level. |
Simplified Audio and Video EditingMetaRecorder allows the application of metadata tags to your audio files while recording in the field. When these files are imported into Final Cut Pro on a Mac, the captured metadata greatly simplifies the process of organizing and editing your media to accelerate postproduction workflow. (Apple, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iPod and Final Cut Pro are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.) |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update: With all the options of quality audio equipment I have around here, I couldn't justify keeping this mic. Sent it back the day after this review was written.
Regardless of the gain setting I use in the iOS Apogee MetaRecorder (audio) and Mavis (video/audio) apps, there is a very noticeable level of background hiss even when recording in a quiet environment. If I set the gain very low the hiss is also lower, but then I would need to boost the level in my audio editor which would boost the hiss as well. There are various noise reduction/noise gating plugins in audio editors that might help fix up a hissy recording, but I haven't tried those yet and it is more work.
The product is based on a cheap low-end lav, and that's the audio performance you get out of it.
There's a similar but much more expensive product (MKE 2 digital) based on the higher-end MKE 2 lav mic which is considered a good quality lav mic. That product might be better but I haven't tried it.
