Now, thanks to the iRig Pre, you can hook your favorite microphone to your iOS device and join the mobile music revolution. Create music any time, anywhere with your own high quality microphones on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Phantom of the iPad
iThe iRig Pre has a 48v Phantom Power feature that lets you use your favorite condenser microphone with your iOS device. But don’t worry… the phantom doesn’t eat your device battery, it takes a standard 9v. No longer are you shackled by the chains of passive microphones for your mobile recordings. Now inject the shocking awe-inspiring power and clarity of the ever popular Condenser microphone into the lifeless muddy world of “a.m. radio” sounding recordings. You’ll be the hero of the entire civilized recording world when you unleash the beast onto unsuspecting virgin ears, now thanks to the technological marvel that will become known to the rest of the world as iRig Pre, but you saw it here first. Oh, and you can plug a SM58 into it and sound like your fabulous normal self as well. Cool.
