iRig Mic handheld microphone for iPhone announced by IK Multimedia

IK Multimedia has announced iRig Mic - the first handheld quality condenser microphone for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - designed for all vocal and mobile sound needs. Featuring a highly unidirectional electret-condenser microphone capsule that provides quality recording (in both close mic and long distance mic conditions, and real-time monitoring with its dual mini-jack connector), iRig Mic is touted as an ideal product for the singer, vocalist and songwriter on the move, but also perfect for recording speeches, instruments, performances or any other sound sources in the studio, on stage or in the field.

A three-level gain switch makes it instantly adjustable for any sound pressure condition — from soft speaking to loud playing. Its familiar form is perfect for handheld performance, plus it can be mounted on any mic stand leaving the iOS device free for app operation. Its rugged metal body is road-ready for the mobile musician. iRig Mic also comes* with VocaLive free, IK’s new real time effects processor app suite for the singer and vocalist, iRig Recorder, the new IK free audio recording app and AmpliTube Free, the best selling app for guitar players and songwriters. iRig Mic also works with a multitude of other vocal and audio recording or processing apps for the iOS platform.
