Thank you
for purchasing
iXY
the ultimate microphone for
iPhone®and iPad®
TM
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!

The iXY comes with a
twelve month
international
warranty

The XY stereo pattern of the iXY
works a lot like your ears. To find
the best position for your iXY when
recording just move your head
around until you find the ‘sweet spot’
and position the iXY there!
Be sure to monitor the recording
level. RØDE Rec provides a
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
belt, so there’s no excuse for being
caught out.
Never let the iXY get wet.
When not in use or in transit keep the iXY in
its protective pouch to prevent any knocks
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.

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.
