At the 2011 NAMM Show, RapcoHorizon introduced the i-BLOX, a smart phone interface that connects an instrument to an iPhone amplifier as well as mobile recording applications.

The 6? interface cable connects the i-BLOX to a musician’s smart phone through the headphone/microphone input jack. The interface itself includes a momentary bump switch to start and stop the iPhone music player application, a separate jack for headphones, a strap clip which can attach to the musician’s belt or instrument strap, and a pre-terminated 2? lead with a hand soldered right angle connector.

“The i-BLOX provides musicians with the convenience of on-the-spot recording or practice amplifiers,” says RapcoHorizon’s Lucas McCulley. “With the majority of the weight of the interface residing on the strap, musicians can enjoy mobility with the reassurance that their iPhone will not fall and break.”

Pricing and availability are to be announced.
