Unlike magnetic or piezo solutions iRig acoustic doesn't color the sound of your instrument and offers extended frequency response and Low-Noise circuitry throughout. The output of iRig acoustic connects directly to your iPhone iPad android device or Mac and offers a 1/8 inch. headphone output for monitoring. No batteries or power is required making it an incredibly simple compact way to perform or record anywhere. iRig acoustic is designed to connect to IK's new AmpliTube Acoustic app packed with tons of killer effects and features designed for acoustic guitarists. It's also fully compliant with dozens of other top apps from apple's garage band to Samsung's sound camp. With a revolutionary design aggressive price point and killer sound quality iRig acoustic lets acoustic players in on the mobile music revolution.

Key Features and Benefits: Sound quality of studio mics - only better There's no argument that the best acoustic guitar sound reproduction comes from placing a high-end condenser studio microphone in just the right position in front of the guitar. iRig Acoustic, when used with AmpliTube Acoustic, is designed to perfectly replicate that ideal mic placement and accurately capture the full frequency range, tonal character and complex harmonics and overtones of acoustic guitars. It's able to do this thanks to the combination of its uniquely designed microphone enclosure, which combines the latest MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) microphone technology with an omnidirectional polar pattern, placement of the microphone just inside the sound hole where the output is optimal and the sound is very detailed and focused, and the "calibration" process that optimizes the guitar sound like it is being miked externally with a high quality studio microphone. These technologies combine to capture the "complete picture" of an acoustic guitar - every vibration and sonic interaction - unlike piezo-electric pickups or magnetics that just capture the vibrations of the body top or strings. Simply put, iRig Acoustic delivers a pure and full representation of an acoustic guitar's tonal characteristics. More on MEMS iRig Acoustic utilizes a MEMS microphone to deliver amazingly real acoustic sound. MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) is the cutting edge of microphone technology - you are most likely already utilizing this technology without even knowing for many smartphones use MEMS technology mics. These microphones are very efficient and offer outstanding reliability and audio capture. They deliver a very precise compensation and accurate flat frequency response while being very resistant to mechanical vibrations that produce unwanted sounds, thus providing a very clear, open tone. In addition, MEMS mics are very durable and stable so iRig Acoustic will deliver consistent, detailed and focused sound performance after performance. Easy installation - clip on, plug in iRig Acoustic offers you the convenience of being easy to install (or remove) on any guitar - no modification of any instrument is required to use iRig Acoustic. It simply securely clips on to the rim of the soundhole of an acoustic instrument and you're ready to play. Because you can easily install and remove it, you can use iRig Acoustic on all of your acoustics, even during the same set! True mobility What truly makes iRig Acoustic unique is the fact that it delivers studio-quality sound AND allows players to freely move around on stage or in the studio without feedback or altering the sound. This is virtually impossible to do when utilizing traditional acoustic miking techniques in the studio or in live performance situations. Headphones or line out iRig Acoustic plugs into your device headphone/input jack with a standard 1/8" TRRS cable that also allows you to monitor your performance thanks to the female stereo output jack placed on the in-line cable. Plug your headphones into this jack for private practice and monitoring, or you can line out to a mixer or powered speaker for full stereo acoustic performance. Steel string, classical, ukes The body of iRig Acoustic is made of soft non-marring rubber material so it prevents scratches and marks when being installed or removed from an instrument. It can be installed on any stringed instruments with a circular sound-hole - steel-string acoustics, nylon-string classicals, ukuleles and more.
