IK Multimedia iRig Mic Review

It is simple to use and seems durable and heavy duty. IK Multimedia has also released several apps which can be used with this mic, including VocaLive for vocal processing effects, AmpliTube for adding guitar and iRig recorder for quick recording. Apart from these, it works with other apps as well to enhance the vocal effects.

On the flip, side while the mic is a condenser electret one with a solid metal grille, it is also unidirectional.So it will not record from the rear or sides and has to be pointed straight for a better sound. Also it does feel a bit heavy in the hand.
