January 16, 2024 – IK Multimedia releases iRig Stream Mic USB, a more accessible version of the best-selling iRig Stream Mic Pro combination condenser microphone and stereo audio interface. This new streamlined microphone offers Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone 15 users a single, ultra-compact and refined solution for music and content creation and streaming. iRig Stream Mic USB makes it easier than ever for users to share their voice and music.
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
iRig Stream Mic’s unidirectional, cardioid pattern is ideal for focusing in on the speaker or singer and rejecting any background noise, while its gold-sputtered, ½“ capsule delivers a crisp and detailed audio signal with easily adjustable gain and selectable high-pass filter to eliminate rumble and noise.
Integrated Audio Interface
Media players, keyboards, mixers, turntables, soundboards and more can be connected via a high-grade stereo 3.5 mm audio input right on the mic. With its monitoring mix control, users can blend the direct or recorded audio via the headphone output, keeping their entire setup in one elegant, compact solution that travels well and fits on any desktop.
Add Backing Tracks and Music
In addition to what’s captured by the mic and stereo line in, iRig Stream Mic USB offers Loopback which allows audio from a Mac/PC to be mixed into any recording or stream. Whether it’s backing tracks, sound effects or a theme song, it’s easy to add more audio content before sending streams to apps like Instagram or TikTok.
Serious Sound Quality
iRig Stream Mic USB delivers serious sound throughout. A headphone output with direct monitoring lets users check levels with any app, even before hitting record, and 16-bit, 48 kHz converters ensure broadcast-ready sound for both the mic and stereo aux input.
Volume Management
Bright LED level indicators make it easy to keep tabs on gain levels without being tied down by headphones. Further, each input has its own volume control to make quick and easy adjustments, even live on camera.
True Stereo Sound
iRig Stream Mic USB operates in stereo and pre-mixes multiple sources of audio – line stereo inputs (+ Loopback) and mic capsule – down to a stereo track, ready to send to popular streaming apps like Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, etc.
Staying Connected
iRig Stream Mic USB is powered by its host and connects to any Mac/PC right out of the box with the included USB-C to USB-C cable. No matter the situation, iRig Stream Mic USB is the streamlined solution of choice to share content and music with the world. Just one mic connects it all.
Software and Apps In-the-box
iRig Stream Mic USB works with any application that records or streams audio or video including on iPad with a USB-C adapter. To get started, it includes iRig Recorder 3 LE (iPhone/iPad/Android), an easy-to-use, high-quality audio and video recording app; as well as MixBox CS (iPad) and MixBox SE (Mac/PC), a powerful suite of FX including dynamics, EQ, reverb and more to help shape professional quality audio.
