Quickly Connect a Mic to Your Phone or Camera

The IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2 is arguably the simplest portable solution for capturing high-quality XLR microphone audio directly onto your smartphone, tablet, or DSLR camera. This battery-powered TRRS audio interface has a permanently attached, auto-sensing 15.75-inch cable to connect seamlessly to a wide range of mobile devices and pro cameras. Just plug the iRig Pre 2 into the headphone jack of your compatible device, and you've got a pathway for high-quality mic audio from your favorite handhelds, shotguns, and studio condensers. An in-line XLR mic preamp with 48-volt phantom power lets the iRig Pre 2 handle all your hungriest studio condenser mics.

Plug in a set of headphones, and you've got a direct monitor control for auditioning audio in real time — perfect for multitrack recording and pitch-perfect dialog capture. The iRig Pre 2's streamlined controls make it impossible to get lost in control glut. Color-coded LEDs on the front panel indicate whether the preamp is on and phantom power is engaged. The included hook-and-loop tape even lets you mount the iRig Pre 2 directly to your device for set-and-forget recording convenience.

Auto-sensing TRRS Cable

For the best performance, the iRig Pre 2 automatically senses whether you're plugging it into a smartphone/tablet or a standalone camera. This makes it the ideal solution for mobile filmmaking, location shoots, interviews, and high-quality multitrack audio recording.

Compatible with All Your Favorite Apps

Capturing a clean microphone signal into your smart device is just the beginning with the iRig Pre 2. This TRRS audio interface is compatible with all your favorite mobile apps and DAWs. With the iRig Pre 2 from Music Experience, you're limited only by the power of your apps and imagination — whether you want to capture your mic signal raw for later mixing, add studio-quality reverb and compression for dazzling lead vocals, or morph audio beyond recognition with vocoders and amp sims.

What IK Multimedia Says...

Make Your Go-To Mic Go Farther

Like many of today’s musicians, YouTubers, and broadcasters, you probably rely on the professional sound quality you get from using an XLR microphone. But for mobile, on-the-go audio and video creation, XLR mics present some challenges. Many require phantom power, and at best, using them also means dragging along a laptop and a boxy audio interface to get the mic preamps along with the phantom power you need.

iRig Pre 2 is a pocket-sized mic preamp that lets you easily use your XLR mics to record, perform, and stream with your iPhone*, iPad, Android device, or DSLR camera. The sequel to the best-selling mobile mic pre of all time, iRig Pre 2 delivers the same professional sound you’re accustomed to, while adding direct monitoring, auto-switching wiring for use with digital cameras, and so much more.
