The ultra-portable pro-quality large-diaphragm mobile condenser microphone for all platforms

IK is pleased to announce that iRig Mic Studio is now available and shipping. It’s an ultra-portable large-diaphragm digital condenser microphone — with a 1” diameter capsule — that’s perfect for musicians, vocalists, home producers, podcasters, broadcasters, voice-over artists and anyone else who needs to capture professional quality sound. Designed for plug-and-play seamless operation with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC and Android, now anyone can record with studio-quality results anytime and anywhere.

Its release coincides with the arrival of the new Mic Room microphone-modeling app for iPhone and iPad. This revolutionary new app provides a massive collection of meticulously modeled microphones that musicians can use to color the sound of their iRig Mic Studio. With everything from ribbons to condensers to dynamics, it’s a treasure chest full of virtual versions of some of the most timeless microphone designs of all time.

Superior portable performance
iRig Mic Studio has been designed to provide the best possible recording quality. 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 audio capture 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.

And while these features are excellent on their own, what’s truly remarkable about iRig Mic Studio is that it fits its components into a compact enclosure that’s smaller than an iPhone.

Comprehensive control
To assist its high-end components, iRig Mic Studio also sports a comprehensive set of monitoring and level control features. To ensure the best sound for every situation, it comes with a gain control knob and a multicolor LED level indicator. It also includes a headphone output with its own level control for monitoring directly from iRig Mic Studio itself. And, for better positioning while recording, iRig Mic Studio comes with a sturdy and portable tabletop tripod stand.

It’s all about the connections
iRig Mic Studio is compatible with nearly every popular mobile and desktop platform. It comes with a female micro-USB port and an assortment of cables: Micro-USB to Lightning for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch; micro-USB to micro-USB OTG for Android (requires either an Android 5 or Samsung Professional Audio device); and micro-USB to USB for Mac and PC.

Record with the power of apps
For immediate recording, iRig Mic Studio comes equipped with a powerful suite of vocal apps. VocaLive is a powerful effects processor and multi-track recording app that features a selection of 12 professional real-time vocal effects. EZ Voice for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and EZ Voice for Android are streamlined and easy-to-use sing-along apps that make it easy for vocalists to practice with any song in their music library. iRig Recorder for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and iRig Recorder for Android are straightforward apps for field recording, podcasting, note taking and more.

A world of professional microphones
Though iRig Mic Studio sounds great on its own, its tonal character can also be customized thanks to IK’s new Mic Room app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Mic Room is a microphone-modeling app that works seamlessly with iRig Mic Studio to give it the sonic characteristics of some of the most famous microphones in history: tried-and-true dynamics, velvety tube condensers, smooth ribbons and a whole lot more more. Now producers, musicians, podcasters and anyone else who wants great sound on the go can have access to an all-in-one microphone that can mimic a full treasure trove of classics.

Pricing and availability
Pricing and availability iRig Mic Studio comes in silver or black and is available now from music and electronics retailers worldwide, and from the IK online store, for only $/€179.99 (excluding taxes).

The Mic Room App is available on the App Store now for $/€7.99.

Does the paid version Vocalive come with pop up ads as it does on iRig recorder (like every time I open it and lately with two pop-up ads)?
Would like to know before writing about this on Musical Android.

VocaLive and multiple other apps have moved to the newer notification system that does not use popups. I've posted about this in the past to help spread the word. iRig Recorder on iOS also uses this system (I just opened it to verify and there were no popups).

Edit - VocaLive is not available for Android (assuming you know that, but just making sure since you noted that you will be covering it on Musical Android).

Sorry confused with EZVoice but that is for sure coming with pop up ads on Android as iRig recorder does.
Checked right now and it does like always...
I have not installed or tried EZVoice just because of this and and would like to check out Amplitube and the iRIg connection but think I will wait until paid publicity disappears on Android.
On iRIg Recorder it is extra annoying as it pops up just when you are about to press record and then the second pop up comes when you are recording!
I do understand if there is publicity on free or demo versions or even once in a month or so to make a user aware of new products but to constantly have it on paid apps is not a happy time. And have the opposite effect as meant to give a company a urge to buy their products (at least for me).

Will love to see a detailed video on the Mic Room app.. Looks stunning on paper..


Maybe a look at a collab session putting all these elements together (Mic Room, EzVoice, IRig mic studio, etc.).

Thank you for the suggestions.

We've also added audio demos (including the dry example without any mic modeling applied to it) on our SoundCloud page and embedded here: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mi ... mios-audio

Interesting idea 8) Why not for PC/MAC as well :?

Not yet, at least. I'll pass along the suggestion that we do so (as I have for others) so it is known that this would be great to have on Mac/PC :) Thank you.

We will assess that market like any other, so anything is possible. If there aren't any changes necessary and the platform is strong enough to support it, have at it though :)

I have to say that lately I'm using iRig Mic Studio on a daily basis and I find it a solid product with a very good price/quality ratio, so definitely thumbs up from me.

Here's what we posted about it....

+1 on making that app compatible with Mac and Pc. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been done yet. :-)
