Rode iXY+DK Stereo Microphone with Dead Kitten Windshield

The Rode iXY Stereo Microphone transforms an iPhone or iPad into a capable field recording device, capturing audio at resolutions up to 24-bit/96k that rival dedicated handheld recorders. At the heart of the iXY is a matched pair of 1/2 inch cardioid condenser capsules locked in a fixed 90-degree alignment, producing a wide, natural stereo image without the need for manual positioning. This makes it an effective tool for recording music performances, interviews, ambient soundscapes, and any situation where spatial audio detail matters.

This bundle includes Rode's DeadKitten fur windshield, which slips over the capsules to dramatically reduce wind noise during outdoor sessions. The iXY draws power directly from the connected iOS device, keeping the setup simple and cable-free. While the direct-connect design keeps things compact, it does mean that recording ergonomics depend on how you hold or mount your device. For mobile recordists who want a significant audio quality upgrade without carrying a separate recorder and cables, the iXY with DeadKitten kit provides a straightforward, high-fidelity solution that fits in a pocket.
