Supplier's Notes:
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 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.

All powered up

Need phantom power for your condenser mic? iRig Pre 2's 2 AA batteries provide true +48V phantom power (many other mobile mic preamps only offer 32V, degrading your mic's performance) for around 7 hours of continuous use.
To use your favorite dynamic or ribbon mic, simply turn off the phantom power and you're good to go for even longer, up to 20 hours!

Don't waste a take

A time-saving 3.5mm (1/8") headphone output now offers direct monitoring, so you can listen back to ensure the signal is perfect before you start recording or streaming!
It's perfect for all today's popular live-streaming and video recording apps, so you can hop from app to app with confidence you'll always sound your best.
And for DSLRs and digital cameras, it makes set up a snap without needing to dive into menus or set up alternate workarounds to monitor the sound.

Works in more situations

You can easily access your favorite apps while recording or performing by mounting the iRig Pre 2 to your mic stand or other convenient stage locations using the included Velcro strip slot. For secure mic stand mounting for your connected smartphone, tablet or digital camera, be sure to check out our iKlip series, which offers a choice of flexible-mounting options for a variety of scenarios.

Ready to rock, right out of the box

Even if you're new to mobile audio and video creation, you can get started right away by simply downloading two free IK Multimedia apps from the App store or Google Play: iRig Recorder FREE (our easy-to-use audio and video recording/editing app) and VocaLive FREE (our premium vocal processor for live performance and multi-track recording).
So get ready to break out of the box and start exploring the creative possibilities all around you, with the freedom of iRig Pre 2.

The Creator series from IK Multimedia puts you in the spotlight with fast and easy tools to help you create professional content. Its budget-friendly solutions are ideal for YouTubers, podcasters, live streamers and other social media platforms, and include a variety of mobile and studio-friendly microphones, interfaces and smartphone stands. With convenient features and flexible options, you'll be covered wherever and whenever inspiration strikes.
