Mic or Guitar-level Input
Unlike similar recording interfaces for iOS, the input of the TASCAM iXZ can be switched between microphone-level or guitar level in. When switched to guitar level, the iXZ doesn't require any power. That makes the iXZ ideal for practicing your guitar and bass as well as recording.
Switch to Microphone level to enable the microphone preamp. Phantom power is available for powering a condenser microphone for detailed instrument or voice recording. A pair of AA batteries (included) provide hours of microphone recording.
A hardware gain knob controls the level of the input to your recording app. This gives you a quicker way to adjust the level than software controls – if your app even has one.
Headphone out/thru jack
Since the iXZ simply plugs into the headset jack of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, an 1/8" headphone output jack is provided on the back of the iXZ.

FAQs
When the playback volume of the recorded track is very high, "crosstalk" can occur. This has nothing to do with the iXZ itself but with the wiring of the iPad's headphone circuitry. The only workaround is to set the lowest possible playback volume needed to perform the overdub successfully.
You must use the XLR jack when the iXZ is in microphone mode. You can not plug into the 1/4" plug with a mic signal. If your microphone only has a 1/4" output, you need to use an adapter cable with the iXZ.
PCM Recorder version 1.0.3 requires iOS6 or later.
