## Description

From the manufacturer About Us It all began in a small town in northern Italy. Not just any small town, but a town rich in heritage — a heritage of innovation. A town known as the sports car capital of the world, and also known for its exquisite cuisine and as the birthplace of Balsamic Vinegar. And the birthplace of one of the most innovative companies in the music industry - the town of Modena, Italy. Way back in 1996 — around the time electricity was discovered and cell phones were the size of your average 4-slot toaster — two Italian engineers got together to solve a problem in a recording studio. Could you get the sound of classic analog gear from a computer? One of them said (in Italian, of course) "Could we emulate electronic circuits using DSP algorithms and feed an audio signal through the computer and get the same sound?" The answer was yes, the piece of gear they emulated was a vintage Abbey Road console, and a company was born. Although that's a pretty simplified version of how IK came to be, it reflects the driving philosophy behind all of our products: give musicians the tools they want/need to be creative and productive. Recreate classic legendary products in the digital world and make them available to all musicians. But make them simple. Make them both inspirational and affordable. And make them for Musicians First. Our company motto, "Musicians First," actually has a couple of different meanings.

Review: Fantastic portable device. Great value for money. Wouldn't be without it - As I say in the video, I upgraded from the irie pre and that was very susceptible to things going wrong with it. I think I'd about three or four of those because it just wasn't robust enough for me. But for what I use it for, which is I do a lot of singing and acting with a mental health group that I run, and plug it into my phone, which is a Google Pixel 8. I use a splitter so I can still carry on charging my phone. The XLR cable, which I didn't mention in the video, goes straight into the whatever mic it is I'm using, and off I go. There is no barely any hissing on the game right up to level eight and a half nine. There's no delay, you can hear yourself in real time, and for its price point, I don't think it can be beaten. I've done a load of research on other ones because I'm going to buy a second one, and I've tried them, and this far outweighs it, so I would highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this digital version work on an android device and if so is there an app for it?**
A: Read the description, people:
"Description
"iRig Pre HD is a high-quality microphone preamp and digital interface, letting you connect any microphone to an iPhone, iPad, Android device or Mac/PC with superior sound quality and professional features... iRig Pre HD includes Lightning and USB cables to connect to any iPhone, iPad or Mac/PC, and will also work with Android devices with the optional cable."

**Q: Can i plug a musical instrument, such as an electric guitar or bass into this device if i use an xlr to quarter-inch cable?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Can this be used to connect my mixer (xr18 or 1202) to my android? what output should i use - monitor, line, main? thank you!**
A: You have several options. I created a bus and used that channel do feed a live video. This allowed me to monitor the main mix on the mixer and control the feed into the Irig through the bus. Or you can connect to the monitor or the headphone Jack. Because of the XLR on this model, you may have get an adapter on some configurations. Good luck and have fun. You can find lots of adapters in Amazon. I tried many until I found the set up I wanted.

**Q: Constant Beeping noise - how to fix this? Appearing in recordings and very annoying.**
A: I used to have a problem with beeping when I would set my cell phone on my vantage tube amplifier.  Every so often the network sends out a radio signal that would interfere with the electronics in the amplifier causing it to beep.  I never put my cell phone there again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best I've found so far
*by J***J on 13 April 2026*

Good solution for using a microphone with a phone. Makes for a great portable recording/broadcast solutiion. I use with with the Comrex Fieldtap app for radio reporters. Good value for money and so far I've dound ti to work with Android and iPhones. Wish the direct monitor was a bit louder. Easy to use otherwise and the preamp sounds nice and clean.
