2012 NAMM Show: IK Multimedia has introduced iRig Mic Cast, a mobile voice recording microphone.
iRig MIC Cast features a tight unidirectional pickup pattern that minimizes background noise, making it ideal for single-source audio recording.
Features:
- Stereo mini-jack headphone output which enables real-time monitoring of what is being recorded using headphones or speakers.
- Offers a mini-switch that provides two different sensitivity settings to record closeup or distant sources.
- Includes an adjustable desktop stand for convenient iPhone/iPod touch positioning during recording.
- Has a bumper-friendly mini-jack connector that fits the majority of iPhone/iPod touch cases.
- Has an compact profile that can be carried anywhere with ease.
- Like other IK Multimedia microphones, it includes 2 free apps: iRig Recorder, an easy-to-use voice recording/editing app, and VocaLive, a multi-effects processing app for singers.
- Works with all regular phone calls and any Voice-Over-IP app.
- Is compatible with iPhone/iPod touch/iPad
iRig MIC Cast is priced at €29.99 (ex. VAT) and will be available in Q1 2012.
Seems like kind of a pro-sumer choice here. I’d rather stick to my Blue Mikey, but this might be just the thing for the youtube/podcast crowd
Good price, but I wonder if it has the annoying crosstalk problems that headphone jack guitar adapters seem to have on the iPhone?
