Introducing Mic Room, the powerful new microphone modeling app for iOS

Use your favorite digital and analog IK microphones to get the sound & tone of the world’s most coveted recording studio mics



Introducing Mic Room, the new microphone modeling app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Designed to complement IK’s full range of analog and digital hardware microphones, it gives musicians, audio engineers, recording hobbyists and everybody in between access to a comprehensive virtual collection of some of the most iconic microphone models of all time. With classic dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics to choose from (plus other unconventional and highly creative models), it offers a treasure chest full of inspiring tone-sculpting tools.

A treasure chest of tone
At its core, Mic Room is all about enhancing the sonic flexibility and versatility of IK’s range of digital and analog microphones. It lets people change the tone of their favorite IK microphones via a comprehensive and expandable collection of virtual mic models that can be applied to impart the style and character of a number of A-list production studio favorites. The full version of Mic Room comes with 8 virtual mic models (registering Mic Room adds an additional model) that cover the complete spectrum of sounds from the classic to the contemporary. This initial library can be expanded via hardware registration and also by in-app purchase — extra content can be bought a-la-carte or as a bundle. Simply put, this means that IK’s range of microphones now have even more sonic range and flexibility than ever before.


Plug and play
Using Mic Room couldn’t be easier. It’s been designed to work seamlessly with IK’s full range of digital and analog microphones for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch (it also works with the built-in mic, too). That means it fully supports the new iRig Mic Studio as well as iRig Mic HD, iRig Mic Field, iRig Mic, iRig Voice and the rest of IK’s highly regarded iRig microphone range.

Musicians just need to select their microphone of choice, plug in and then select the virtual mic model they’d like to use. Each microphone model can be tweaked to deliver the best sound possible thanks to an intuitive graphic interface that provides an easy-to-read level meter and a touch-and-drag gain knob.

Mic Room is also Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatible, so it can be effortlessly used with other powerful music creation apps. This unleashes a whole new level of creative possibilities on top of the sonic flexibility imparted by Mic Room itself.

Pricing and availability
Mic Room is available now on the App Store for just $/€7.99. An expandable free version is also available.

Sorry if I misunderstood this, but are you saying you can use this app with the built-in mic in the iPad and it will model the same way with the same perfection?

It won't be EXACTLY the same due to the limitations of that mic vs the better frequency and dynamic range of the other compatible devices. It is calibrated to use the input from the built-in mic, though, which allows you try for yourself with the free version of the app.

Thank you, so the stand alone hardware mics that are compatible are the iRig mics I take it?

I dont see the mics that came with ARC on the supported list. If not, why the hell not; surely a known, calibrated reference-type mic would be an obvious starting point?

I addressed this in the Effects forum, but the short version is that all the current mics are cardioid pattern and ARC mics are omni which presents more potential issues/anomalies than one might imagine.
