iRig Pro I/O — Your new pocket-sized mobile studio (iPhone 7 ready, charging, multi-platform, more)

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

The next generation personal audio/MIDI interface for all your gear on all platforms

Recording on the go just got a whole lot better. The new iRig Pro I/O gives musicians and producers a pocket-sized mobile personal recording studio for all platforms, with high-definition audio I/O, professional quality preamp, MIDI input/output, a huge software bundle and more.

All your gear, all the time

iRig Pro I/O is designed for all your gear — studio mics, vocal mics, guitars, basses, keyboards, sound modules, MIDI Controllers, you name it! iRig Pro I/O features 24-bit A/D and D/A converters, and a 96kHz sample rate for professional quality audio on the go. You can even supply 48V of phantom power to the XLR jack for your active condensers. Plus, you can dial in the perfect and precise amount of gain with the new marked gain control knob. iRig Pro I/O also features a 1/4" Hi-Z input that easily handles passive and active pickup configurations. iRig Pro I/O features a new 1/8" stereo headphone out with preamp and level control, making it compatible with even the most recent iOS devices.

MIDI In, MIDI Out

In addition to the MIDI IN jack, iRig Pro I/O now features a MIDI OUT (thru) for even more routing flexibility. Now you can connect your outboard keyboards, controllers and sound modules and even control surfaces with just one simple interface. iRig Pro I/O comes complete with two standard 5-pin MIDI to 2.5 mm cables for hookup.

Power up

iRig Pro I/O has multiple power options depending upon your recording preferences. When used as a standalone interface for iPhone, iPad or Android device, you can power iRig Pro I/O with 2 x AA batteries that also provide switchable 48V phantom power. When use with the optional 5.4V DC PSU, iRig Pro I/O will charge your iPhone or iPad while plugged in for endless or extended recording and playing sessions. When used with a Mac/PC, iRig Pro I/O gets its power from the USB port and the connected laptop. Whichever method you choose, iRig Pro I/O will adapt and is ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Fully Loaded

iRig Pro I/O comes with over $/€550 worth of full version IK Software including AmpliTube for iOS, AmpliTube 4 for Mac/PC, SampleTank 3 SE, T-RackS Deluxe with Mic Room, and more. No other interface gives you so much value and playability right out of the box. With iRig Pro I/O and IK Software, there’s no limit to what you can do.

Pricing and availability

iRig Pro I/O will be available in April 2017, from the IK Multimedia online store and IK authorized dealers worldwide for an astonishingly low price of only $/€149.99. In addition to the amazing bundle of included software, iRig Pro I/O comes with 2 x AA batteries, Mini-DIN to USB and Mini-DIN to Lightning cables, and two 5-Pin MIDI to 2.5mm cables for connection to standard MIDI gear.

Can it also be used to route MIDI from the iPad (using an app with touch screen keyboard) to the Mac?

As long as the app you are using sends MIDI OUT that way, yes.

So, can I use this thing as a headphone AMP/DAC for normal listening as well? I'm not happy with the crummy $9 adapter for my iPhone 7 and can only assume the DAC is junk as well. I was looking at Amp/DAC combo units from Oppo but if I could kill two birds with one stone and do some iOS production I'd like to consider this.

Man, love the look of this.

I can buy it for a project I'm working on and see if I should get one for myself too. Result.

Yes, once you plug in iRig Pro I/O you can use it for normal listening too.

Hi, I was just looking at the iRig Pro at the advice of someone...what is the difference with this one?

Is there no audio output (other than the headphone)? I'd be using the ipad for both synth and guitar at live gigs, and am not real keen on using 1/8" to 1/4" adapters if I can avoid it (from either the ios device or this one).

Astonishingly low price of $149 hahaha, awww bless, IK never change.

Better marked gain control, headphone out, MIDI OUT, charging iOS devices would be the major changes. The headphone output is the only output on iRig Pro I/O.

Thanks, definitely features I'd be interested in!

Question on the Amplitube 4 that's included...I know there's a free version that I've downloaded already for mac--I'd assume that the version bundled with the irig products is not that the same as the free version? Is it a "full version" with all available amps/cabs, or are there some that are only extras purchased separately? This might be really strong incentive to go with irig vs a couple other interface options
