MXL joined Jeffrey powers last month at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas to talk about their new Tempo Microphones. The new Tempo Mics work with both laptop and desktop computers, but they are also compatible with the iPad. That last part is key because the iPad isn’t typically able to work with microphones due to power issues. However, the Tempo works with the lower power by connecting with the camera connector kit, which requires an adapter, but that’s a cheap price to pay for this ability.
The Tempo will turn your iPad into a mobile recording station, allowing podcasters and others to travel much lighter than was previously possible. These are condenser mics, not dynamic, so it will need power. This will provide much better sound than the built-in microphone that Apple provides. Of course, if you are just doing video chat then that mic will be fine, but for serious recording this is the first real option to come along. To top it off, the MXL Tempo retails for $79.95. You can check them out at MXLMics.
