IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2 Mobile Microphone Interface w/ XLR Input & Phantom Power

Professional XLR microphones no longer need to be tethered to bulky audio interfaces and laptops thanks to the iRig Pre 2, a pocket-sized mic preamp that bridges the gap between studio-quality recording and mobile content creation. This compact device allows musicians, YouTubers, and broadcasters to connect their favourite XLR microphones directly to iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and DSLR cameras without sacrificing sound quality.

The iRig Pre 2 addresses the phantom power challenge that plagues mobile recording setups by providing true +48V phantom power through two AA batteries, supporting condenser microphones for approximately 7 hours of continuous use. Dynamic and ribbon microphones can operate for up to 20 hours with the phantom power switched off. This genuine 48V output surpasses many competing mobile preamps that only offer 32V, which can compromise microphone performance.

New features include direct monitoring through a 3.5mm headphone output, allowing real-time audio checking before recording or streaming begins. The auto-switching circuitry automatically adapts to work with digital camera inputs, eliminating the need for menu navigation or complex workarounds. This makes the iRig Pre 2 suitable for podcasting, music recording, interviews, and live streaming across various popular applications while maintaining consistent professional audio quality.
