Headroom Notes

Same 1.5 A / 7.5 W accessory budget as the full-size iPad Air, in the body most often taped to a camera rig or a music stand. The port is USB 3, which matters for storage and not at all for a two-channel interface.

Setups using this gear

Radial McBoost with a Sennheiser e 835: one of its three load settings is below the microphone's published minimumAston Origin on an Audient EVO 4 and an iPad mini: a higher clip point costs you gain, it does not save it
