No, you should be able to connect an H9 to an iOS device using the camera connection kit. You're having trouble doing so? There is some trouble shooting help in the H9 Control manual which you can find in the app under Settings / Help or here: https://www.eventideaudio.com/support/downloads/h9-control-manual
If you can't get this to work, please let us know what device you're trying to do this on and what version of iOS you have installed, and we'll check it out.
