Product Description

Pro quality performance and recording made easy

iRig Mic is the first handheld, quality condenser microphone for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad designed for all of your mobile sound needs. Now you can make professional audio and vocal recordings anywhere on your iOS device.

iRig Mic is ideal for the singer, vocalist and songwriter on the move, but also perfect for recording speeches, instruments, performances or other sound sources in the studio, on stage or in the field.

The iRig Mic features a highly unidirectional condenser-electret microphone capsule that provides quality recording in both close mic and long distance mic conditions, and provides real time monitoring with its dual mini-jack connector design. A three-level gain switch makes it instantly adjustable for any sound pressure condition — from soft speaking to loud playing. Its familiar form is perfect for handheld performance, plus it allows you to mount it on any mic stand leaving your device free for operating your favorite app. Its rugged metal body is road-ready for the mobile musician.

iRig Mic also comes* with VocaLive FREE, IK’s new real time effects processor suite for the singer and vocalist, and AmpliTube FREE for guitar players and songwriters and iRig Recorder FREE, an IK app for quick audio recording and processing. iRig Mic also works with a wide variety of other vocal and audio processing apps for the iOS platform.

For my own amusement, I write and record songs using Garageband on my iPad. Up till now, I have recorded my vocals by holding the iPad to my lips and singing into the iPad's internal mic, which is more than a little awkward (and looks kind of stupid). So I splashed out on the iRig mic, and I'm very pleased with it. There are three settings on the mic to suit the recording of various volumes. I have found the middle setting to be most useful for recording my vocals, although the mic has to be VERY close to my lips to get an acceptable recording level in Garageband. The recorded sound of my vocals is warm, although the mic's close proximity to my lips does produce some popping sounds on certain words. I'm still playing about with settings and position of the mic but I'm delighted with the its potential in Garageband.
The mic, however, takes on a new lease of life when used with IK Multimedia's own apps, Vocalive and iRig Recorder, free versions of which are available on Apple's app store for the iPad. The mic has definitely been optimised for these dedicated apps, so the quality of sound and increased gain are very apparent compared to within Garageband. My intention now is to record all my instrumental tracks in Garageband, then import the recording into Vocalive, where I can add my vocals using all the available effects built into the app. Unfortunately, this requires Vocalive to be upgraded from the free app, which costs a whopping £25.00 if it's to include the 8 track recorder. A lot of money, but at a total of £54.00 for Vocalive and the mic (I got it for £29.00 on Amazon), I think it's money well spent. All in all I'm absolutely delighted with my iRig Mic, and can highly recommend it.
Finally, a word on delivery. I ordered the iRig mic on Good Friday, so because it was the Easter weekend I thought it would take ages to arrive. Unexpectedly, I took delivery on the following Tuesday, so five stars for delivery.

We bought a cheaper one before this one and tbh it was rubbish so we splashed out in this. It's perfect. Used on an iPod Touch for YouTube videos, works flawlessly.

We bought an adjustable arm stand which clamps to your desk and this came with an adapter to fit the mic in perfectly. With the addition of a fuzzy bought separately the microphone is up there with the best. Quality materials and feels solid to the touch, nice weight to it and works really well.

Little add on note, if you want this to work with a computer or other device rather than an iPhone etc, it will. It you need a "TRRS female to TRS male" adapter. Then it works fine on those devices as well.

I picked this up in April 2011. It's now Aug 2012, I've used the mic around a dozen times, a little less than once a month. I use it to record episode for my podcast when I am out on location so when I say used the mic, I mean it been on site with me for the duration of the weekend, and used for around 20 hours of recording over the last year. The sound quality is pretty good for a hand held mic that plugs into the headphone jack! You can obviously tell it not studio quality, but it doesn't sound like its been recorded on a phone either, especially after some cleaning up of the sound during editing.

Overall I was very happy with the mic and would give 5 stars.

The bad bits however are that mic has now stopped working. It seems like a faulty cable where it enters the mic. It is the only part that does actuall seem 'cheap' and poor quality. I'm going to open it up and try to replace the cable.

I recommended this mic to a friend who used it in a similar way to mine, his lasted 8 months.

So overall I'll give 4 stars as I think even buying a new one every year it's a great price.

This is a great Mic for the price and records well with three different settings dependent on the sound source. Perfect for podcasts and I've used for putting music performances on Facebook. Beware it only records in mono but it is very easy to use with the iphone and enables you to monitor through headphones as you record.

I bought this to use with the Smule app from the iTues store. Now, although the mic works, it's too sensitive. I purchased a filter, and it made no difference because the mic picks up the smallest sound...from anywhere. Seriously, I could hear the kids talking from downstairs, and I was upstairs. I tried to use the adjuster on the grip, but that didn't work as it just seemed to turn it off unless you had the mic almost inside your mouth. It was either all or nothing.
To be honest, I wanted something with a better sound quality than my Apple earphones, and that's what I got, but not something that picked up everything else within a thirty-foot radius.
