Inspired by a documentary on flamenco guitar legend Paco de Lucia, the iRig Acoustic is produced by IK Multimedia, and uses the AmpliTube Acoustic app to create a professional, multi-purpose mobile system for acoustic playing.
When used with the AmpliTube Acoustic app, the iRig Acoustic is designed to replicate the use and perfect placement of a high-end condenser studio microphone, responding to the full frequency range and tonal depth of the guitar.
This is made possible with a uniquely constructed microphone enclosure, and the latest MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) microphone technology. At the height of sound production and capturing, MEMS provides super accuracy, while limiting the reproduction of unwanted sounds. When combined with an omnidirectional polar pattern, and the placement of the microphone just inside the sound hole, this mic captures the full complexity of sonic vibrations.
Installing the iRig Acoustic is as easy as clipping on and plugging in. There’s then the option to use headphones, line out to a mixer or powered speaker for full stereo performance. And when you are performing, the AmpliTube Acoustic app controls your tone, its functionality and ingenuity a simple way to build your sound from the way up. Alternative, it’s your first call for recording.
