FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Make
mobile audio and video recordings with Hollywood-style stereo sound
on your Lightning-compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
September 4, 2014 -
IK Multimedia, the global technology leader in mobile apps and
accessories, today announced iRig®
Mic Field,
the first pocketable and adjustable stereo digital microphone for audio
and video field recording. Now you can capture high-quality sound in
the field with your Lightning-compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Sleek, slim, light and fully rotatable; finally with iRig Mic Field
anyone can make mobile audio and video recordings with Hollywood-style
stereo sound.
High-quality stereo field recording
iRig Mic Field is the only mobile digital microphone designed to be
used for both video and audio projects. It delivers superb stereo sound
for both formats by connecting directly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod
touch's digital input via its Lightning connector. Its two high-quality
cardioid electret condenser capsules, 24-bit audiophile-grade A/D
converter (with 44.1/48kHz sample rate), 115 dB maximum SPL rating and
built in low-noise, high-definition preamp give you the tools to
capture pristine sound no matter whether you're recording a rehearsal
or a concert, capturing audio for videography, saving a lecture or
speech, acquiring found audio for a music project or recording
instruments while on the move - iRig Mic Field lets you create accurate
and faithful field recordings in every context you can imagine.
90 degrees of flexibility
To better preserve the stereo image while recording audio for video,
iRig Mic Field features a conveniently rotatable patent-pending design.
With the touch of a finger it can be easily rotated 90 degrees and
locked in one of two positions for the best stereo image in both
landscape and portrait modes. Now you can get an accurate signal from
both left and right channels in any situation - in other words, it
surpasses comparable mobile microphones that only produce a true stereo
sound when held in portrait mode.
Unmatched portability
iRig Mic Field is as lightweight and portable as your mobile device. It
has a slim form-factor, fits flush on your device and slips easily into
your pocket when finished. iRig Mic Field has been designed with
elegance and durability in mind: It looks good and can withstand the
rigours of travel thanks to its durable industrial design and
protective
carrying pouch.

Video production in
your pocket
iRig Mic Field has also been designed with mobile video in mind. It
lets you record and upload video with crystal-clear audio to all of
your favourite sharing sites and services, like YouTube, Facebook,
Instagram, Vine and more. It's never been easier to shoot a video and
share it with your friends, followers and fans. Now musicians,
videographers, journalists, podcasters, casual users and more can get
high-quality sound while on the go without sacrificing mobility or
audio fidelity.
Superior level control
Capturing good sound requires more than just high-quality components;
it also requires comprehensive volume control. iRig Mic Field has
everything you need to ensure your sound is recorded at the perfect
setting. It features a thumbwheel gain control, an audio-out jack for
quality real-time headphone monitoring (usable with app support) and a
multicolour audio input level indicator for quick visual monitoring.
Record with the power of
apps
For immediate recording, iRig Mic Field comes fully equipped with IK's
powerful iRig® Recorder
for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It lets you quickly record, edit,
process and share your audio, thanks to its intuitive GUI, 8 effects
and social sharing capabilities. iRig Mic Field also works seamlessly
with iOS' Core Audio and Core Video apps like GarageBand, Voice Memo,
Camera and iMovie. All you have to do is plug in your iRig Mic Field,
open your favourite app and hit record: You'll have a high-quality
recording in no time. The iRig Recorder App is available from the App
StoreTM on iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch or at www.appstore.com/irigrecorder
Big things come in small
packages
Combine its effortless portability, 24-bit digital audio converter,
plug-and-play app compatibility, built-in preamp, easy monitoring via
LED and headphone out, proper stereo image in both portrait and
landscape orientations, input gain control and sleek design, and iRig
Mic Field stands out as the smallest and most full-featured portable
field microphone for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. And best of all, it
gives you all this at a price that's half of comparable microphones
that weigh over twice as much and offer far less flexibility while on
the go.
Pricing and availability
iRig Mic Field will cost $99.99/€79.99 (excluding taxes) and will be
available from music and electronics retailers worldwide in October
2014.
