iRig Pre 2 - Mobile XLR Microphone Interface and Preamp

The IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2 is a compact and versatile mobile microphone interface that empowers creators to use their preferred XLR microphones seamlessly with iPhone, iPad, Android devices, or DSLR cameras. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the iRig Pre 2 introduces enhanced features such as direct monitoring, auto-switching circuitry for camera compatibility, and extended battery life, making it an indispensable tool for musicians, podcasters, journalists, and content creators seeking professional-grade audio on the go.

Designed for portability, the iRig Pre 2 boasts a soft-touch enclosure that fits comfortably in any bag or pocket, ensuring that high-fidelity audio capture is always within reach. Its built-in XLR connector accommodates a wide range of microphones, from dynamic to high-end condenser models requiring phantom power. The interface provides true +48V phantom power, ensuring optimal performance for condenser mics, powered by two standard AA batteries that offer up to 7 hours of continuous use with phantom power engaged and up to 20 hours with dynamic microphones.

A significant enhancement in the iRig Pre 2 is the addition of a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone output with adjustable volume control, enabling real-time direct monitoring. This feature allows users to listen to their input signal without latency, ensuring accurate audio capture during recording or live streaming sessions. The auto-sensing 3.5mm output adapts seamlessly to both TRRS-equipped mobile devices and TRS-equipped DSLR cameras, eliminating the need for additional adapters and streamlining the recording process across various platforms.

Key Features:

• High-Fidelity Mic Preamp: Delivers professional sound quality with an adjustable gain control to accommodate various microphone types and sound sources.

• True +48V Phantom Power: Provides reliable phantom power for condenser microphones, ensuring optimal performance in any recording scenario.

• Direct Monitoring: Features a 3.5mm headphone output with volume control for real-time, latency-free monitoring of the input signal.

• Auto-Switching Output: Automatically adapts to TRRS (mobile devices) or TRS (DSLR cameras) connections, offering universal compatibility without the need for adapters.

• Compact and Portable Design: Soft-touch enclosure fits easily into any setup, making it ideal for mobile recording and on-the-go content creation.

• Extended Battery Life: Powered by two AA batteries, providing up to 7 hours of continuous use with phantom power and up to 20 hours without, ensuring reliability during extended recording sessions.
