When the original Apogee ClipMic digital was introduced in 2015, it was the result of a partnership between Sennheiser and Apogee, combining the famous MKE 2 lavalier capsule from the German brand with expertise in AD/DA conversion of the Californian company. Together it established a reference solution for professional-quality sound recordings with any iPhone or iPad devices with Lightning connectors. Apogee also developed an iOS app for 24-bit/96kHz recording and an Apple Watch remote control app, which is still used daily by many journalists and broadcast organizations.
The Apogee ClipMic digital 2 is no longer a partnership and Apogee now offers a custom omnidirectional pre-polarized condenser microphone capsule in this second generation, which the company says is even smaller (4mm diameter) and delivers a 10dB lower noise floor than its predecessor. And ClipMic digital now comes with a protective travel case and interchangeable cables, including Lightning, USB-C and USB-A cables for plug-and-play compatibility with iPhone, iPad, macOS and Windows.
One of the most important benefits of ClipMic digital 2 is that it allows users to put a microphone closer to the voice or sound source. For any vlogger, interviewer, lecturer, student, teacher or anyone making a personal video, ClipMic digital 2 is a convenient microphone solution, allowing for the best sound while providing greater freedom of movement in-camera. More importantly, viewers will hardly notice the lapel microphone.
The new lavalier microphone is now more compatible thanks to the removable USB/lightning cables that connect to the Apogee converter, while an extended cable provides even greater freedom to position the camera, while still keeping the microphone close. For conferencing applications, this is a great solution for high quality audio communication. The professional microphone capsule captures speech clearly with less room acoustics and the whole solution is easy to setup - no software required with Mac or Windows computers.
And Apogee's MetaRecorder app for iPhone/iPad lets users easily access recording functions to quickly start, stop or pause the recording. The MetaRecorder app offers a simple and customizable way to organize audio media files while recording in the field - with linked recording, tagging and organizing of audio on up to 4 iOS devices - allowing for improved post production video workflows. When paired with DSLR video cameras, ClipMic digital and an iOS device make capturing professional quality productions simple and efficient.
