iRig Mic Studio
Introducing iRig Mic Studio, IK Multimedia’s ultra-portable large-diaphragm digital condenser microphone for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC and Android. It packs a 1” diameter condenser capsule into an ultra-compact enclosure that can be used to make professional-quality recordings anywhere. Great for musicians, vocalists, home producers, podcasters, broadcasters, voice-over artists and more, it puts the superior power of a large-diaphragm microphone into the palm of your hand.
What’s remarkable about iRig Mic Studio is that it offers its truly amazing recording quality in an enclosure that’s smaller than an iPhone. It features a large 1” diameter back electret condenser capsule, a 24-bit audiophile-grade A/D converter (with 44.1/48 kHz sample rate) and a built-in low-noise high-definition preamp. These, combined with its 133dB SPL rating, allow for optimal recording at any sound pressure level — it can capture everything from the subtle and nuanced dynamics of the human voice to the full-on bombast of an amplified electric guitar, and everything in between.
iRig Stream Mic Pro
iRig Stream Mic Pro makes it easier than ever to share your voice and music. It combines a professional multi-pattern condenser microphone and 24-bit, 96 kHz audio interface for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and PC into a single ultra-portable solution for music and content creation.
First, make your voice heard with selectable cardioid, figure 8, omnidirectional or stereo pickup patterns. These patterns range from noise-rejecting to immersive audio, so whether you’re recording a podcast, interview, instrument or ensemble, you’ll enjoy a crisp, clear and detailed signal with easily adjustable gain.
Next, connect media players, keyboards, mixers, turntables, soundboards and more with the convenient stereo 3.5 mm audio input right on the mic. With its monitoring mix control you can blend the direct or recorded audio via the headphone output. Now you can keep your entire setup in one elegant, compact design you can easily take anywhere.
iRig Stream Mic Pro offers IK’s groundbreaking Loopback+, letting you not only add music from your phone or tablet to your recording or stream, but even route the mic signal into a separate app to add reverb, EQ or noise-reduction (like with the included MixBox CS for iPad) before sending to a second app like Instagram or Tiktok. It’s an easy way to get massive sound on apps that don’t normally let you process audio or add background music.
