[Athen] Ipad lecture/conference session recording

[Doug Hayman]

You can get the camera adapter that apple sells that has a usb input. 
With that the Blue Microphones Snowball mic works fine and can either work 
in omni-directional mode or cardiod, the latter to point toward just one 
source.

For other mics or equipment needing more power, you'll likely need to plug 
a powered usb hub into that adapter then plug the device into the usb hub.
