IK Multimedia IRIG-PRE2 iRig Pre 2 Microphone Preamp for Smartphones, Tablets, and Video Cameras

DescTitle

Like many of todays 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 boxy audio interface to get the mic preamps along with the phantom power you need.
