IK Multimedia iRig 2 Guitar Interface for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

IK Multimedia iRig 2 Guitar Interface for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

The iRig 2 from IK Multimedia is a guitar and bass audio interface designed for use with iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac, and Android devices. The included AmpliTube Free software delivers a portable, yet powerful virtual guitar rig for performances, recording, rehearsals, practice, and more. Enjoy the same processing, low-latency amplifiers, speaker cabinets, stompbox pedal effects, microphone modeling and accuracy as the Mac/PC versions.

Effortlessly combine an entire rig of 3 simultaneous stompboxes, amp head, speaker cabinet, and microphone in order to achieve that ideal tone for your guitar or bass. The compact interface features a 1/4" instrument input to your portable i-series device, and a dedicated 1/4" amplifier output with an 1/8" line output for headphone monitoring or connecting to a PA system. There is a selectable dual-mode switch for FX and THRU, which allows you to process your instrument or pass the signal through unaltered. A dedicated gain control thumbwheel allows you to dial in the optimum setting.

The interface is also compatible with Android devices that support the CTIA/AHJ wiring standard and may be used with the optional AmpliTube for Android software. The iRig 2 ships with a detachable microphone stand Velcro-slot and a Velcro strip.

A Swiss Army knife for sound

Want to take it to the stage? iRig 2's new 1/4” output jack lets you use iRig 2 with an amplifier as a part of your live rig without the use of an adaptor.

This opens up a whole world of opportunities when paired with AmpliTube for iOS and AmpliTube for Samsung Pro Audio, IK's powerful guitar and bass multi-effects processor. It provides you with a vast library of meticulously modeled virtual stompbox effects, amplifiers and other gear that you can use as a part of your physical rig when you're jamming with friends, at a practice session, in the recording studio or performing live. Or, if you want to be discreet, plug your headphones into the included 1/8” headphone output.

Even better is that iRig 2 features a switch that lets you select between a processed signal and a clean "thru" input signal. This means you can also use your mobile device as a tuner, recorder or other tool while preserving the purity of a 100% analog signal path.

iRig 2 is there to help you make your practice and performance sessions as easy as possible. It comes with a microphone stand mount and Velcro strip that allow you to easy attach it for performance alongside other convenient tools like IK's iKlip range of mic supports for all sizes of smartphones and tablets.

The universal mobile guitar interface

Beyond its iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac support, iRig 2 also offers complete compatibility with Samsung's new line of Samsung Professional Audio devices. That means you can play and process with the full power of AmpliTube for Samsung Pro Audio with your Galaxy Note 3, Note 4, Galaxy Edge, Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6.

Plus iRig 2 now also offers compatibility with Android 5 devices. As the most convenient way to bring a guitar signal into a mobile device, it lets musicians use the hundreds of available tuning and recording apps available, such as the forthcoming UltraTuner for Android.
