IK Multimedia has announced that iRig Mic - the first handheld quality condenser microphone for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - is now shipping. Here's what they have to say about it...
iRig Mic is ideal for the vocalist and songwriter on the move, and it is also perfect for recording speeches, instruments, performances or any other sound sources in the studio, on stage or in the field.

The familiar shape of iRig Mic is perfect for handheld performance, plus it can be mounted on any mic stand leaving your hands free for operating the app on your iOS device. A three-level gain switch makes it instantly adjustable for any sound pressure condition from soft speaking to loud playing.
iRig Mic also comes* with a suite of IK's apps: VocaLive Free (for vocalists and songwriters), iRig Recorder (the new IK free audio recording app... coming soon) and AmpliTube Free (for guitarists and songwriters).
iRig Mic also works with a wide variety of other vocal and audio recording and processing apps for the iOS platform.
