The Reporter App is a simple and intuitive app for recording broadcast-quality audio on a mobile device. Available on both iOS and Android devices, the Reporter App allows you to capture high-resolution 24-bit, 48kHz recordings on the go, with a real-time waveform display and input meter for monitoring audio levels. Audio can be captured in a standard or compressed mode with the option to enable variable bitrate recording (128, 256, 320Kbps), and can be exported natively for easy file sharing. The Reporter App also allows you to update the firmware and unlock internal DSP and other features for some RØDE microphones.
The -20dB feature controls a hardware pad within the i-XLR.
The sound meter will display red when the signal is too loud and likely distorting. The optimum range for your average signal, would be just entering the yellow section. It is important to ensure there is enough headroom so that any spike or increase in volume does not push the meter into the red.
We recommend that you always set your level for the loudest possible signal.
