Watching my son deal with audio recording issues as he completed his portfolio film project for film school applications (in at NYU, yay!), I got a new appreciation of the value of a quality microphone for even the most seemingly simple applications. The iPhone is great for capturing video, but the addition of the iRig Mic Field makes it better!
IK Multimedia calls iRig® Mic Field the first “ultra-compact, stereo digital microphone for audio and video field recording on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.” As they say it “lets anyone make great audio and video recordings with high-quality stereo sound everywhere.”
Here are some of the iRig Mic Field Features:
- Digital stereo field-recording mic which connects to iOS devices via the Lightning port
- Lightweight and “pocketable” design
- Rotates 90° for optimal audio/video positioning; locks in place with comfortable-to-use controls
- Ideal for music recording, video shoots or any field recording application
- Integrated headphone output for immediate real-time audio monitoring
- Gain control and multicolor LED indicator for easy and accurate level adjustment
- 2 high-quality cardioid electret condenser capsules
- 24-bit, 44.1 – 48 kHz A/D conversion
Pricing and availability
iRig Mic Field is now available from music and electronics retailers such as Amazon.com and Sweetwater Sound, and from the IK online store, for $99.99.
