Description

Using a mobile device to make videos is fun and convenient but the sound can often leave a lot to be desired. IK Multimedia have remedied that problem with the Mic Cast HD – a microphone designed to get high quality audio recordings with mobile devices!

Features

  • Selectable front / rear / bi-directional recording 
  • Snap-on magnetic mounting, even with a case
  • Rejects off-axis noise for quiet recording
  • 24-bit 96 kHz converters for clear sound
  • 2 gold-sputtered professional condenser capsules 
  • Headphone out with selectable direct/processed signal
  • Works with virtually all audio and video apps
  • Includes Lightning, Micro-USB and USB-C cables 
  • Includes windscreen for outdoor use

The Mic Cast HD is super portable thanks to its small size and light weight, and is really convenient to use – it uses snap-on magnetic mounting and simply plugs into the 3.5mm headphone jack on your mobile device or computer (newer Apple devices will need a converter). There's a built-in headphone out on the mic that can be used to monitor the audio as you're recording. It's also powered by your mobile device so you don't have to fiddle around with batteries.

This mic has a dual capsule design which means you can set it to capture audio from the front, rear, or both. This way you can get the audio focused on just yourself, or your subject with less surrounding noise getting in the way. The dual gold-sputtered electret condenser capsules and 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D converters provide high quality, detailed, and accurate sound. This mic also comes with a windscreen so you can get a clear recording outdoors.

The iRig Mic Cast HD is compatible with any app that records audio so you can get great sound whether you're recording a YouTube video, doing an Instagram livestream, or on a FaceTime call.

Brand

IK Multimedia

IK Multimedia is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by iRig Mic Video, MEMS measurement microphone, iRig Pre 2 and Mic Cast HD. The listed range is relevant to mobile recording, measurement and compact microphone interfaces. When comparing these products, check device compatibility, USB or analogue connection, monitoring, power, pattern, mounting and the intended mobile workflow. The range supports phone, camera and portable recording setups, but each product has a different connection and capture role. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Category

Microphones

Microphones convert acoustic sound into an electrical signal for recording, live sound, broadcast, streaming or measurement. This broad category includes dynamic, condenser, ribbon, USB, wireless, boundary, shotgun and instrument-focused designs, each balancing sensitivity, detail, rejection and handling. Compare the source, room, pickup pattern, maximum level, connector, phantom or battery requirements and mounting options before choosing. The most useful microphone is the one that fits the voice or instrument, working distance and signal chain; a prestigious brand or familiar category label cannot replace those practical checks.
