Yes, it has 2 very good mic preamps. You need the camera kit to connect it to the iPad. I haven’t tried it with the iPhone because I can’t seem to locate my lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and frankly having the adapter and the camera kit dangling off of the iphone’s docking port doesn’t sound very secure to me. I even have trouble keeping the camera kit from popping off of the iPad’s port when I connect a usb cable to it, I’m not sure if I could trust it in a critical performance situation. I’ve been wondering if there is such a thing as a male to male docking cable that could connect to the iPad on one end and the camera kit on the other, rather than having the kit connected directly. It might make a sturdier connectiong.
