iRig Pre HD features a professional quality Class A mic preamp with an adjustable gain range of 48dB, a multicolor LED level indicator and switchable +48V phantom power (via 2 AA batteries included) to capture unrivaled sound quality with any XLR-connected dynamic, ribbon or condenser microphone.
The 1/8” headphone output with dedicated volume control can also be used as an auxiliary out to send recorded sound to external devices like an amplifier, PA, or a mixer. It can also be used to drive a set of quality headphones to enjoy high-resolution digital music on every device (even the latest iPhone), taking advantage of the pristine quality and full dynamics of the internal D/A converters.
iRig Pre HD features a direct monitor switch that allows you listen to the sound being recorded in real time. This means you can easily monitor yourself while recording a vocal take or listen to an interview guest in a noisy environment with no latency. With a simple flick of the switch, you can change to regular monitoring and check the playback or listen to other audio files.
