iRig MIC Cast Portable Microphone 

 

 

 

 

 

If you need to make voice recordings on the go for a Podcast, an in-person interview or even recording a presentation, your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad isn't the best option because their built-in microphones are not designed to record high-quality audio.

 

For those occasions where quality matters, we recommend using the iRig MIC Cast with your iOS device. This small microphone plugs into your iPhone, iPod or iPad and turns it into a mini recording studio with the ability to capture high-quality audio. Best of all, it's tiny and light so it's easy to carry around for those impromptu opportunities that arise.

  

The iRig also comes with a mini stand for your device so you can conveniently prop it up on a table. It provides real-time monitoring of what's being recorded and works with all regular phone calls and voice-over IP app.

So what is an "IP" address anyway and what will this NEW addressing system mean to you?
