Top 9 des meilleurs microphones externes pour iPhone 2022 Avis et guide d'achat

L'iPhone est entré dans notre monde en 2007 et la vie n'a plus été la même depuis. Il était en avance sur son temps et malgré les protestations d'Android, il l'est toujours.

Il n'a pas toujours eu de microphone. Au fur et à mesure qu'il s'est transformé en un outil de communication entièrement chanté et dansé, il en a acquis un. Basique au début, mais maintenant assez sophistiqué, le micro est en fait assez correct. Mais utilisez-vous votre téléphone pour des interviews ou des podcasts ? Si c'est le cas, vous voudrez trouver les meilleurs microphones externes pour iPhone.

Certains utilisent le port Lightning, ce qu'Apple utilise pour ses iPhones les plus récents. Mais certains utilisent encore la prise casque. Donc, nous ferons des critiques des deux.

Alors, jetons un coup d'œil et aidons-nous à "vivre en studio"…

1 Microphone iOS portable Shure MV88

Par où commencer ? Question idiote vraiment quand Shure est susceptible d'être là. Shure construit des micros de classe mondiale depuis de nombreuses années et ils ont tous des choses en commun. Premièrement, ils produisent un son exceptionnel et deuxièmement, ils sont construits comme un tank. Ceci est juste un autre exemple.

N'importe quel son… n'importe où…

La construction entièrement métallique montre qu'il est prêt à gérer tout ce que vous pouvez lui lancer. Il est livré avec une bonnette anti-vent en mousse noire. Cela aidera à éliminer tout bruit indésirable si vous l'utilisez à l'extérieur. Il convient à une grande variété d'enregistrements et les diffusions en extérieur sont toutes gérées avec facilité. Et avec un SPL de 120 dB, il gère également les concerts en direct.

En fait, ce micro a été conçu pour enregistrer des sons de niveau fort et moyen. Cependant, ce n'est pas si bon si la cible est très silencieuse et que vous devez augmenter le volume d'enregistrement. Il a une gamme de fréquences de 20Hz à 20KHz et des réglages de gain de 0 à +32dB.

Portatif et réglable…

Il est facile à transporter et tient dans votre poche. Cela signifie que vous n'avez pas à transporter d'équipement lourd et encombrant pour obtenir un son exceptionnel. Pour vous assurer d'obtenir la bonne position d'enregistrement, il dispose de plusieurs options de mouvement. Il s'inclinera, pivotera, retournera et tournera de 90 degrés.

Vous aurez accès à deux applications pour l'édition audio et en tant qu'application distincte, vidéo. Avec ceux-ci, vous pouvez apporter des modifications aux performances en fonction de vos propres applications personnelles. Grâce aux applications, vous pouvez également définir le modèle d'enregistrement le plus approprié. Ceux-ci incluent Stéréo, Mono Cardioïde, Mono Bidirectionnel et Mid-Side (MS).

Certifié Apple…

Il se connecte à votre téléphone via une connexion Lightning et est certifié par Apple pour tous les appareils iOS qui utilisent la technologie Lightning . Si vous l'utilisez sur la route, il est livré avec un étui à fermeture éclair de qualité. Un câble pour la surveillance au casque est également fourni.

C'est un très bon micro comme on peut s'y attendre de Shure. Il offre de nombreuses options pour obtenir un son exceptionnel et excelle dans les performances sonores. À ce prix, une véritable aubaine à nos yeux. Certainement l'un des meilleurs microphones externes pour iPhone.

Avantages

• Construction Shure robuste.
• Conçu pour une utilisation en extérieur.
• Applications d'édition sonore incluses.
• Facile à manœuvrer.

Inconvénients

• Enregistrement à faible volume.

2 Microphone stéréo X/Y Zoom iQ6 pour iPhone/iPad

Fondée à Tokyo en 1983, Zoom s'est rapidement imposée avec une réputation de classe mondiale dans le son et l'enregistrement. Les microphones ne sont qu'une partie de ce qu'ils font, mais à bien des égards, c'est leur activité la plus reconnue.

Prise de son réglable…

L'enregistreur portable Zoom H4N est devenu un standard de l'industrie pour l'enregistrement de diffusion en extérieur. Et le Zoom iQ6 utilise le même micro à condensateur que le H4N, vous êtes donc assuré de quelque chose de très spécial.

Il a hérité de la possibilité de régler la plage de 90 à 120 degrés. Pouvoir ajuster l'angle de capture du son est une caractéristique importante. Il y a une molette numérotée très proéminente sur le devant qui est le contrôle de gain. Il dispose également d'une sortie ligne/prise casque. Cela peut être utilisé pendant la lecture et pendant que vous enregistrez.

Et il est doté d'une entretoise amovible, ce qui signifie que vous pouvez utiliser le micro, qu'il y ait ou non un étui pour iPhone.

Enregistrez comme un pro…

L'accès à une application iPhone Zoom est un gros plus qui vous permettra d'enregistrer des fichiers .wav ou .aac. Trois voyants LED sont intégrés pour vous donner des informations sur les niveaux d'enregistrement. Le SPL est un 130 dB plutôt fort, donc aucun problème avec les enregistrements de musique en direct. La qualité audio est de 16 bits à 44,1 kHz. Il est compatible avec la plupart des appareils iPhone, iPod touch et iPad.

Un micro de haute qualité avec une gamme d'utilisations, il fonctionnera bien dans la plupart des environnements. Cependant, il est un peu décevant qu'il ne soit pas livré avec une pochette de transport, il est conçu pour être utilisé en déplacement après tout.

Avantages

• Excellent micro à condensateur.
• Commandes simples.
• Niveaux SPL élevés.

Inconvénients

• Aucun étui de transport inclus.

3 Microphone central stéréo Zoom iQ7

L'iQ7 de Zoom est un micro très similaire à l'iQ6 à presque tous les égards et est léger et suffisamment petit pour tenir dans votre poche. Il est compatible avec tout iPhone, iPod touch ou iPad disposant d'une connexion Lightning.

Similaire mais bien meilleur…

Comme avec l'iQ6, il y a un grand contrôle de gain central numéroté. C'est une bonne fonctionnalité permettant un contrôle facile des niveaux. Les niveaux peuvent être surveillés à travers les trois lumières LED. Il y a aussi la prise casque qui peut également être utilisée comme sortie ligne.

L'application est également applicable à l'iQ7, ce qui vous permet d'ajouter des effets et d'éditer vos fichiers audio. Tous exactement les mêmes que l'iQ6, alors regardons la différence.

L'iQ7 utilise une configuration de micro connue sous le nom de Mid-Side, ou MS. This can make its use much more flexible. X/Y recording is of course very good, but you are a bit limited to what you can do when the recording is finished.

What does the Mid-Side do?

The Mid-Side configuration allows you to make a lot of adjustments in post-production. MS is mono-compatible, and changing from 90-degree stereo to 120-degree stereo is easy. The capsules of the mic will rotate in various directions so you can get the positioning exactly right. You can, therefore, set the proper right/left stereo orientation.

It comes with a Lightning connector and also has a removable spacer. And is compatible with most iOS devices that have Lightning connection technology.

Just a little extra but a lot more pricey…

As with the iQ6, it offers a lot of features and is a good option for recording with your iPhone or iPad. It offers a few more options than the iQ6 as it is more adjustable for the angle of sound pick up. A reasonable price point but some might find it expensive.

Avantages

• MS mic configuration.
• Rotating mechanism.
• Good features, similar to the iQ6.

Inconvénients

• No carry bag or case.

4  Blue Raspberry Premium Mobile USB Microphone

Over now to Blue for their latest visit to the ‘get an interesting name’ shop. This mic they have named Raspberry. That is interesting because it is a politely derogatory remark in some countries. Never mind, what is the mic like?

What to expect with Blue?

Blue has a great reputation for making some quality mics and rightly so. This is a desktop-style mic with an electret condenser, has a cardioid pattern, and a fairly standard frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. It also has an impressive SPL of 120dB which means it will be able to record some loud sounds. However, this mic probably isn’t suitable for taking to concerts unless you have some room to stand it in a good position.

It has a bit depth of 16/24 bit and a sampling rate of 44.1/48kHz. It has a Lightning cable and a USB cable supplied with it. And there is a headphone jack with volume control that makes it suitable for monitoring the sound in live situations.

It stands alone for any recording…

Besides being a desktop design it has a ¼” thread which makes it mountable on tripod stands if necessary. It does have its own built-in stand which will suit most recording activity. The stand has rubber feet and a connection insulator to reduce any unwanted surface generated noise.

It is essentially for podcasting and interviews and possibly voice-overs. In fact anywhere where there is a static base for the mic it will do a good job. You can record directly to your iPhone or iPad using the Lightning cable or to your PC or Mac using the USB.

Just plug and play…

The design of the mic means that it is Plug and Play, making it very easy to use. Just plug it into your device or computer and away you go. It is compatible with most iOS devices.

A good mic especially for stationary recording. The sound is good and the build quality is high. It is, therefore, an ideal mic for many uses. Not the cheapest but if you want a mic for interviews it is worth considering because of its quality.

Avantages

• Well built design.
• Variété d'utilisations.
• Lightning and USB compatible.
• Ideal for interviewing and voice recording.

Inconvénients

• Not suitable for recording with no fixed base.

With the high SPL level, this will be ideal for recording live concerts . But it will also work for interviews for podcasts or videos.

Old or new – you can just adapt…

We do need to mention that this mic will only work with those phones with a 3.5mm jack socket. That’s ok we don’t all have the brand new phones. Some of us like our older phones despite what Apple or others think we should like. You can, of course, spend a little more and buy an adapter if you choose.

It is definitely a microphone of many options and can handle most things presented to it. It comes at a very attractive price point.

6  PoP Voice 12.8 Feet Lavalier Lapel Microphone

Looking for a mic to use with your iPhone, but you are on a budget? Ifo so, this mic from PoP voice could be the answer. It does not produce the highest quality professional sound possible, but considering the price, you wouldn’t expect that.

Clip it on and you’re good to go…

This is a Lavalier lapel mic design and is a very basic mic, it works quite well and operates through a 3.5mm jack socket but can be used with a Lightning cable if you use the adapter. Additionally, it is designed to operate at quite long distances from your phone with a 12 ft plus cable. For any external noise, it also has a wind muff as standard.

The build is mostly plastic of course, but the clip to attach to the subject’s clothes is metal. This ensures that this important part of the design is secure enough. Handling care though should still be taken. It comes with a storage pouch to carry it around with you.

Recording on the move…

For interviews for podcasts or videos, it will do a reasonable job. It is not going to win any awards for sound quality, but it will give an adequate recording. It has an omnidirectional pattern. This means it will collect sound at equal levels from all directions of the mic during recording. Most other mics will record a more focused sound source.

Because of the length of the cable, it opens up further use possibilities. Giving a presentation might be easier as an example. Where you do not need to worry about cable length when moving around.

However, if you are considering this mic, it might be a good idea to check its compatibility with your device. It is not as compatible as some of the competition.

Avantages

• Long connection cable.
• Cost-effective.

Inconvénients

• Lower-quality sound than the competition.

7  PowerDeWise Professional Grade Lavalier Lapel Microphone

Although, as with anything, it might be a good idea to check its compatibility before purchase. Ideally, for those phones using Lightning connections, there is an adapter included.

Indoors and outdoors…

The PowerDeWise is suitable for indoor or outdoor use and will give you a good if not high-level, result. For basic interviews or podcasting, it is fine, also for basic narration for Youtube videos. It is simple to use and is just a Plug and Play operation, and needs no batteries and there are no drivers to download.

Should you wish to be some distance away from the phone or move around, an extension cable is included. This will give you an extra seven feet to work with. It also comes with a zipper storage bag so you can carry it around with you safely.

Surprising sound for the price…

The frequency range is 50Hz to 16kHz. The clip to attach the mic to the target source is metal, so there are unlikely to be any breakages. Included are two wind muffs in case there are any poor weather conditions which is a nice touch.

At this price point, it represents good value. The results for the spoken voice are clear and bright. They really sound like they could have come from a mic costing far more. This is one of those products that will surprise you and perform a lot better than the price tag suggests it might.

8  Comica CVM-VS08 Professional Cardioid Condenser Directional Mini Shotgun

Come in close and say that…

It is a condenser shotgun mic with a super-cardioid pattern . This will ensure the sound is collected from along the mics axis. With this particular mic, you will need to ensure the target is no more than about 20 cms away from the mic to ensure a reasonable recording.

Check your background noise…
