From smartphone to mobile audio recorder

The Am7 mid-side stereo microphone from Zoom is the perfect tool for professional audio recording on Android devices. All users have to do is connect it directly to the USB-C port of their mobile phone, and they’re all set for both video sound and pure audio recording thanks to the two Audio and Video modes supported by the Am7. The Zoom Am7 features a gain control, a stereo width control, and a 3.5mm headphone output that can be used for monitoring purposes and as a line output. The Am7 is optimally complemented by Zoom’s free Handy Recorder app, which allows users to quickly access special microphone functions, easily edit the recorded signals, directly upload their creations to Soundcloud, and much more.

Here comes the technical bit...

The Am7 microphone weighs in at just 32g, features a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 120dB as well as an input gain range that goes from +3dB to +43dB, and delivers 44.1kHz/16-bit and 48kHz/16-bit audio quality. The input level can be monitored and adjusted using the front-facing three-stage LED level meter and gain control knob, and the stereo width switch to the right allows the left-right spread of the stereo microphone to be set to 90°, 120°, or a user-defined width in M-S mode via the Zoom Handy Recorder app. Thanks to its rotatable microphone capsule, the Am7 can always be adjusted to an optimum position for either horizontal or vertical recording.

Perfect match for Android users

The Zoom Am7 allows users to turn their Android device into a handheld field recorder and capture high-quality audio signals using either the specially developed Zoom Handy Recorder app, which is the only app that supports the mic’s full scope of functions, or any conventional app that supports external microphones (with a limited scope of functions). The Am7 mid-side stereo microphone is therefore the perfect companion for all Android users who want to capture high-quality audio for high-resolution videos, or simply record pure audio with a real stereo feel. And the good news is that it comes at an absolutely fair price that won’t break the bank.

About Zoom

Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.

Always hits the right note

The Zoom Am7 stereo microphone is the go-to tool for recording brilliant sound to accompany videos directly on Android smart devices. Creators can now easily use their smart phone to capture audio for all kinds of videos, e.g. of talented musicians performing spontaneous gigs in the street, memorable family moments, or in selfie mode for use in social media posts, without making compromises on sound quality. Of course, the Am7 also allows pure voice recording, e.g. of song demos or interviews, which can subsequently be edited and refined using the Zoom Handy Recorder app.

Worth every penny

Finally a good quality mic for Android phone at very reasonable price. Perfect for for musician (at any level) for making acoustic demos or video auditions. The quality of the sound is much higher than you expect with this pricetag.
Pros - expected to live longer than your phone (they tend to fall on the floor every second day...) and therefore can be used also later with any smartphone with usb-c connection; Using smartphone camera, the overall result (audio and video) is way better than standalone devices with poor cameras (for example Q8); Lightweight and small, literally fits into your pocket.
Cons - not so many so far, but could use an alternative power supply when your phone starts to go low on battery. You cannot charge and record at the same time.
I made a comparison recording (acoustic flute, recorded at the same time, one take) including: 1) Am7 connected to reasonable-priced Huawei smartphone, Zoom Q8 and iPhone 12 (without external mic). Results (best to worst): Video - iPhone, Am7, Q8; Sound - Am7, Q8, iPhone.
Would deffinitely buy again when lost :)

Great for band rehearsals
Edvin Skar 10.03.2022
I play in a rock band, and we've started using this to record ourself when we're rehearsing.
If placed correctly, both guitars, bass, drums, and vocal all sound fairly decent. Definitely an upgrade from using phone microphones!

Flexibles USB-C Mini-Stereomikrofon fürs Smartphone!
Thomas421 13.02.2022
Das Zoom Am7 bringt über USB-C an meinen beiden Smartphones (Xiaomi 11T bzw. OnePlus Nord 2) eine deutliche Verbesserung der Aufnahmequalität im Vergleich zu den internen Mikrofonen: Stereo, weites, offenes Klangbild, ausgeglichen, differenziert. Sehr praktisch sind die manuelle Einstellung der Mikrofonverstärkung über den kleinen Drehregler und die Auswahl des Aufnahmewinkels (90 bzw 120 Grad), ebenso die drei kleinen LEDs zur Vermeidung von Übersteuerungen. Mit einem Gain von 7 hatte ich über das Zoom in etwa die gleiche Lautstärke wie mit den internen Mikros - ohne Übersteuerung. Man kann sich eine kostenlose Video-App (Zoom Mobile Handy Share) aus dem Google App Store herunterladen, die das Am7 mit Plug & Play erkennt und das interne Mikro automatisch stumm schaltet. Eine professionelle App wie "Cinema FV-5" erzielt im Videobereich natürlich noch bessere Ergebnisse, ist aber kostenpflichtig.

Insgesamt bin ich mit der Flexibilität und Klangqualität des Zoom sehr zufrieden, es stellt eine deutliche Verbesserung zu internen Mics dar und konnte sich gegenüber dem Vergleichsgerät ( RØDE VideoMic Me-C) klar absetzen. Ich behalte es.

Einziger Wehmutstropfen ist die etwas fimischige Verarbeitung: Das Zoom sitzt nicht gerade bombenfest auf dem Handy und man kann leicht versehentlich die Einstellung der Verstärkung verstellen.

J'ai acheté ceci pour enregistrer des maquettes lors des répétitions en groupe ainsi que des petites vidéos pour les réseaux sociaux.

Tout d'abord il y avait un accessoire manquant dans le carton, le pare brise en mousse qui devait être fourni avait été oublié.

Lors de l'essai, le réglage de gain était quasi inutilisable, au minimum ça peut le faire sur des prises de son de faible niveau a proximité, mais dès qu'on commence à travailler avec des niveau sonore plus élevé, par exemple une batterie dans un local ,de répétition, le micro sature trop facilement, notamment sur des pique par ex un coup de caisse claire très fort, il est pourtant sensé accepter des niveaux sonores allant jusqu'à 120db, j'en doute fort.

Lorsqu'on commence a augmenter le niveau de gain, pour des sources plus faibles a distance, la ça devient beaucoup trop bruyant, il y a énormément de souffle.

Un problème qui rend l'appareil inutilisable est qu'il capte beaucoup trop facilement des interférences électroniques, électromagnétiques ou radio, même en éteignant tout appareil électronique dans la maison ainsi que le routeur wifi, et même les données mobiles du téléphone, j'avais encore des bruits parasites intempestifs qui masquait mon signal.

Concernant la qualité de fabrication de l'objet physique, je comprend l'importance de la légèreté, mais je crois sérieusement que l'appareil ne survivrait pas a une chute lorsqu'il est connecté au téléphone.

Même sans tout ça, la qualité audio n'est pas très bien, j'ai eut de meilleurs résultats pour certaines prises de son avec le micro intégré au téléphone.

Je donne tout de même 2 étoiles pour les raisons suivantes:
L'application zoom handy recorder est super, des fonctions très utiles, EQ, comp, reverb etc, c'est une appli gratuite que je vais conserver.
Sinon Je trouve l'idée géniale, si zoom arrivait à régler les problèmes de saturation, souffle et bruit parasite, qu'ils améliorerait la solidité et la qualité audio, ça serait au top.

Hélas cette fois, l'appareil n'est pas à la hauteur, je renvois.
