IK Multimedia has announced iRig PRO, an innovative new universal audio/ MIDI interface for iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone and Mac. iRig PRO allows musicians to record microphones, guitars, line instruments or MIDI devices while maintaining a very high portability factor. Including cables and inputs for virtually all audio and MIDI instruments, as well as phantom power ability and a host of software, the iRig PRO is the world’s first truly comprehensive mobile recording platform.
The iRig PRO is pocket-sized and battery-powered, and designed to handle essentially any audio signal for recording whenever an idea may spark, on the road or in the studio. It can handle condenser and dynamic microphones, as well as guitar and bass inputs. Its MIDI input can accept data from keyboards, controllers and pads, and the audio and MIDI inputs can actually both be used simultaneously, for example to control effect levels with pedals/ foot controllers.

IK Multimedia continues to expand its mobile product lineup with iRig KEYS PRO, which improves upon the functionality and playability of its predecessor. iRig KEYS PRO is a full-sized 37-key velocity-sensitive keyboard that can be plugged into iOS devices for music creation on the go, or plugged into a PC or Mac via the included USB cable for use in a home studio.

Plenty of Bluetooth speakers have come and gone in the mobile market, but none thus far have captured my full attention the way that IK Multimedia’s iLoud has. Since it was first unveiled last year, I’ve been itching to get my hands on a unit to run it through its paces. If you’ve read any of my previous reviews of IK Multimedia’s products, you’ll know that they set the bar high as far as quality is concerned. The company once again makes good on its tagline “Musicians First” with the first Bluetooth speaker truly designed with musicians in mind — the iLoud connects directly with a guitar, bass or microphone and interfaces with the Amplitube app on iPhone or iPad. The sheer power, clarity and portability of this tiny, lightweight speaker is truly something to behold.

One of IK Multimedia’s newest additions to the iRig family of iOS mobile recording devices, the iRig PRO aims to combine the qualities of the previously released iRig PRE, iRig MIDI, and iRig HD. With 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion and the ability to record guitar, bass, MIDI data, and phantom-powered condenser mics, iRig PRO takes the crown as the best all-in-one recording interface for musicians on the go.
