Record any instrument or vocal straight to mobile devices or computers with the IK Multimedia iRig Mic Studio, a digital microphone designed for musicians, vocalists, producers, podcasters, broadcasters, voice-over artists, and much more. Whatever your craft, whatever your purpose, you can use this mic to capture a quality sound on the go or in the studio.

This mic, styled in black, utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to focus the audio capture on whatever is in front of capsule, tamping down unwanted ambiance in the process. It can handle loud and soft instruments alike, giving you a headphone monitoring jack to keep an ear on the sound as you record. All the cables you need to connect to lightning-equipped iOS devices or Android devices are on hand, as is a tabletop stand, a mic clip, and a storage bag.

Fits Your Digital Setup, No Matter the Setup
The iRig Mic Studio is compatible with all your favorite mobile and desktop platforms. The mic itself houses a female micro-USB port and ships with an assortment of cables: Micro-USB to Lightning for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch; micro-USB to micro-USB OTG for Android (requires an Android 5 device); and micro-USB to USB for Mac and PC. A micro-USB to 30-pin cable is available separately for older iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models, and a micro-USB to USB-C cable is also available separately.
Quality Studio Recording in the Palm of Your Hand
The iRig Mic Studio offers quality recording in an enclosure smaller than an iPhone. It features a large 1" diameter back-electret condenser capsule, a 24-bit pro-quality A/D converter (with 44.1/48 kHz sample rate) and a built-in, low-noise, high-definition preamp. These, combined with its 133 dB SPL rating, allow for optimal recording of nearly any instrument. 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.
A Full Suite of Controls
To ensure you'll always record at your best, iRig Mic Studio comes with a full set of flexible controls: It has a gain control knob and a multicolor LED level indicator. It also includes a headphone output with its own level control for onboard monitoring directly from mic itself. And, for better positioning while recording, iRig Mic Studio comes with a sturdy and portable tabletop tripod stand.
Compatible Software Galore
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users will be able to enjoy VocaLive, 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. Mic Room, the microphone modeling app for iPhone and iPad. iRig Mic Studio is also fully compatible with a wide variety of third-party apps and software, like Cubasis, ProStudio Vocal FX, MultiTrack DAW, and more. It's also compatible with Apple's GarageBand and Logic Pro X apps and iOS Voice Memo.

Better than you'd think

This mic is a fantastic solution for voiceover work. With a pop filter and good technique you can get broadcast-quality results. I've been using this for national broadcasts for a few years and no Pro Tools mixers have ever complained or questioned the quality. Inside a proper announce booth, or even using a pillow fort, this mic is stellar and so convenient to record in various iPhone apps.

This microphone was something that I was looking for a long time and it was not available in Brazil. I just bought it on a few weeks ago on a Monday and received three days later - this was fabulous!!! It worths every cent!!!

Very pleased with this Mic. Sound quality is wonderful, works perfect with both my iPad and iPhone, using GarageBand. Solid construction and stand included works fine, stand a little tippy, because it is small, but does its job.

I bought this product and works well as a microphone with iPhone. However till I unplug it the iPhone speaker is disabled so can’t hear playback. Anyway around this?
Asked by: Suman
When any output device is connected to iOS, the built-in speaker is disabled. This is similar to when headphones are connected to your iOS device. Unfortunately, this is not not behavior which can be altered at this time, but we do hope Apple changes this in the future.

How do i use this mic with a iPad Pro 2018 with USB C port? Thanks!!!
Asked by: Geremy
The iRig Mic Studio would use the cable below to connect to USB-C devices like the iPad Pro 11" 2018 (USB-C). Any other third party OTG compatible cable with these connections should also work. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/?A=usb-c-microusb-cable

question

Does this mic have a XLR option or is it strictly USB?

Besides the input for the included mic, here is what the description says: The unit also features an auxiliary input for your acoustic/electric's existing pickup configuration, and a blend knob....
