How do I set up an Apogee HypeMiC with Zoom on iOS?
Open Zoom and select the gear icon, then navigate to Meeting Settings and enable Original Sound (the exact menu name and location may vary depending on your version of the Zoom app).- HypeMiC must be connected before joining a meeting. iOS will not detect it if you connect while already in a meeting.
- Once you've started or joined a meeting, HypeMiC's status switches to "connected and working with recording software" as indicated by a single green LED. You may now adjust the Input Gain, Compression, and Blend settings.
- On iPhone, tap the Mic-Speaker icon in the upper left corner to open the AirPlay list, then tap HypeMiC.


- On iPad Pro with USB-C, there are no additional audio settings available within Zoom — simply connect HypeMiC before opening Zoom, start a meeting, and HypeMiC is ready for use. Audio routing behaviour may vary depending on your iPad model and iOS version.
- Connect Headphones to the jack on the bottom of HypeMiC for monitoring. Use the volume buttons on the side of your iPad or iPhone to adjust the output level.
How should I manage muting during a live performance in Zoom?
If performing, such as playing a song or making a speech, it is essential that all other participants in the meeting are muted or stay muted. Otherwise, if they make noise the Zoom app will shift sound to them and disrupt the performance.- This means the performer won't hear the audience's reactions during the performance. One remedy is to have breaks such as between songs where the audience can unmute and express their appreciation.
