Thank you very much for purchasing the ZOOM Am7.
The Am7 has the following features.
• High quality mic that connects with Android device
This stereo microphone can be connected to an Android device and used with an application that supports mic input to record
high-quality audio.
Note: In this manual, we refer to all of these devices as “the connected device” or “the Android device.”
• Stereo width control using mid-side mics
The mid-side (M-S) stereo mic design has a directional mid mic that covers the front and a bidirectional side mic that covers
the sides. By adjusting the level of the side mic signal you can change the stereo width of the sound as you like.
• Two modes: audio and video
Use the audio position when pointing the connected device like a mic toward the sound you are recording. Use the video
position when recording with the connected device’s camera.
• High-performance app for use with the mic
Download the free application from the Google Play and use it with the Am7 to, for example, set the recording format, edit
audio files and apply various effects.
• Audio monitoring without latency (only when using the ZOOM Handy Recorder app)
Using latency-free direct monitoring, the audio input through the Am7 can be output directly from the stereo mini jack without
passing through the connected Android device.
• Hardware controls for adjusting recording
Use the Am7 dial and switches to adjust the recording gain and stereo width.
• Usable even with devices in cases
By removing the included case adjuster, you can connect this mic to a device even when it is in a case.
