Tascam iXZ Reviews

Affordable CD Quality on the move

This is a well featured TRRS audio connection device to fill the needs for those on a budget.

Simple to connect and use with the option to use microphones requiring phantom power

That said my only..... gripe it,s a little too short in the cable department to use with a i-pad except flat on a even surface without it hanging in the air add the weight of a decent XLR microphone cable and the socket on the device its connected to is going to fail ..simple mechanics ...I would have added a slightly longer coiled TRRS cable...

How ever a quality camera rated TRRS extension cable solves this simple problem

On use it's battery life is reasonable for 3+ hrs of recording using my old large condenser michrophones

Lovely device!

This Tascam iXZ is the best way to record demos and ideas for songs and even produce them with my iPod!

Yes, iPod and a pair of good headphones!

It is great for recording guitars, vocals and even bass lines! The phantom power switch for condenser mics is a great feature!

Small, portable device, that is easy to use and always at hand!

Dig it!

Tascam iXZ

Perfect low budget device if you intend to record with one mic (phantom powered condencer) and one take.

The iXZ vs the Apogee Jam.

I have both and have used them for recordingbon IPad for soundcloud and youtube.

Firstly, I have to say that the iXZ is very good value and does what it claims. If you need to use a condenser mic with 48 Volt phantom power than this is your best choice. Because it plugs into the combined headphone/mic jack of the IPad it is not digital quality recording, but it is very good.

There is no doubt that the Apogee Jam is far superior when it comes to guitar recording, Digital quality and absolutely clean, but the fact that it does not have phantom power is a big draw back when you need to lay down good quality vocals..

Bottom line, if are looking to record guitar and good quality vocals the iXZ is a very cost effective solution. if you don´t need phantom power spend a little more and get the Apogee Jam.

Great little piece of kit for garageband.

I bring this to my Acousitc sessions the Rode M3 with a 9v battery is placed in the room and this helps control volume in perfectly, so many ideas captureld swhen jamming in a room with some acoustic instruments love it.

BEST QUALITY RECORDING DEVICE FOR IPAD/IPHONE

Been looking for something that I can connect a great quality mic to record for radio on my iPad. This fits the bill 100% and best is that it's not dependant on 30pin or lightning connector as uses mic/headphone socket.
