Summary: <br> <br> <br> If you like the sound of a studio condenser microphone, the Sennheiser MK 4 Digital is a portable and professional microphone for connecting to iOS devices.<br> The MK 4 Digital is a studio condenser microphone that records into any audio app (such as <a href="http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/metarecorder">Apogee MetaRecorder</a>), video app, or live-streaming app on a Lightning-connected iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad).<br> I usually don't recommend condenser microphones for podcasters because of typically noisy podcast “studios”—heating/ventilation/air conditioning, computer fans, appliances, etc. However, because the MK 4 Digital connects to any iOS device, you can make a noise-free “studio” out of any space you can take your mic and iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.<br> Expect the Sennheiser MK 4 Digital Studio Condenser Mic for iOS in summer 2016, priced around $400. <a href="http://en-us.sennheiser.com/news-sennheiser-and-apogee-partner-to-offer-mk-4-digital-for-usb-and-ios">Read Sennheiser's announcement for more information</a>.<br>
