Now available from IK Multimedia, the iRig Mic is a dedicated microphone made especially for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

The iRig Mic is a handheld condenser microphone specifically designed for capturing vocals from mobile devices. Ideal for singers, vocalists, and songwriters on the go, the iRig Mic can be used for recording speeches, instruments, performances, or any other sound sources in the studio, on stage, or in the field. It features a unidirectional electret-condenser microphone capsule that provides quality recording, in both close mic and long distance mic conditions, and real-time monitoring with its dual mini-jack connector.

The iRig Mic's three-level gain switch makes it adjustable for any sound pressure condition, from soft speaking to loud playing. Likewise, the microphone's familiar form makes it a good choice for handheld performance, and its ability to be mounted on any mic stand gives users the option of hands-free operation.

You can use the iRig Mic to capture vocals in high fidelity for real-time audio processing during live performances or recording sessions. You can also use the mic to record Podcasts, speeches, lessons, interviews, video soundtracks, and more. According to the manufacturer, the iRig Mic electret-condenser capsule features an accurate unidirectional pattern and the excellent ability to handle high audio pressure levels. It delivers high-quality, crisp, clean vocal reproduction, even in noisy environments, with no distortion.

Housed in a rugged metal body, the iRig Mic is ready to go wherever your iPhone takes you. The microphone comes with VocaLive free, IK Multimedia’s real time effects processor app suite; iRig Recorder, IK Multimedia's free audio recording app; and the AmpliTube Free app for guitar players and songwriters. iRig Mic also works with a number of other vocal and audio recording or processing apps for the iOS platform.
