Flexible Recording Options

The iRig Pre HD adapts effortlessly to multiple applications. Musicians can capture vocals, acoustic instruments, or even guitar amps with crystal clarity. Podcasters and journalists benefit from portable, broadcast-ready sound for interviews and reporting, while filmmakers and vloggers can pair the iRig Pre HD with DSLR rigs or mobile devices to capture pristine location audio without bulky equipment.

Direct Monitoring & Professional Control

An onboard headphone output with volume control allows for high-resolution monitoring or playback. The direct monitor switch eliminates latency, making it easy to record vocals with backing tracks or check audio during filming. Multicolour LED indicators provide instant feedback on gain levels and phantom power status, ensuring professional results every time.
