The IK Multimedia iRig Pro I/O is a powerful yet portable audio/MIDI interface for iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC. Featuring high-quality mic preamps, instrument inputs, line outputs and MIDI I/O, the iRig Pro I/O is ideal for singer-songwriters, musicians and producers looking to record and compose music wherever inspiration strikes. The iRig Pro I/O delivers studio-quality sound in a rugged, road-ready design.

High-Performance Mic Preamps Provide Pristine Recordings

The iRig Pro I/O features high-performance, low-noise mic preamps to capture vocals and acoustic instruments with stunning clarity and detail. Discreet, high-headroom circuitry ensures a clean signal path for natural, transparent recordings. Phantom power is available on both XLR mic inputs for use with condenser mics. This is a professional-grade solution for high-quality mobile recording with iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Instrument Input for Direct Recording of Guitars and Bass

Plug guitars, basses and other instruments directly into the iRig Pro I/O to capture full-frequency recordings with stunning realism. The Hi-Z 1/4" instrument input accepts both passive and active pickups for recording electric guitars and basses. An instrument/line switch engages a pad for use with line-level signals from keyboards, drum machines and other gear.

MIDI I/O for Controlling Virtual Instruments

The iRig Pro I/O provides a 5-pin MIDI input and output for controlling external MIDI devices. Play software instruments and virtual synthesizers using your favorite MIDI keyboard controller. The MIDI I/O also allows you to integrate the iRig Pro I/O into a more expansive MIDI rig for advanced music production in the studio.

Rugged Design for On-the-Go Music Production

Despite its advanced feature set, the iRig Pro I/O is compact, portable and built to withstand the rigors of travel and live use. An anodized aluminum chassis provides durability in a lightweight form factor, allowing you to record and compose whenever inspiration strikes. Power is provided over USB for a simplified setup with no external power adapters to carry.

A High-Quality iOS Audio Interface and Great Guitar Toy!

I was initially looking for a headphone amp to allow quiet practice with my electrics, but decided to take a look at iOS interfaces, as I almost always have my phone or iPad with me. I'm glad I did. The iRig Pro I/O gave me the practice amp I was looking for (the included AmpliTube apps have a great amp and effects simulation), but also a superb interface for both instruments and microphones, including mics that require phantom power. As a test, I put together a multitrack recording using Garage Band, and I have to say I was blown away at what a tremendously useful and fun system the iRig creates. Laying down a track at a time, I included 2 electrics, 2 miked acoustics, an electric bass, a MIDI jazz organ, and 4 vocal parts. I added one of Garage Band's canned drummers and ended up with a clean, respectable recording. I'm very impressed by the audio quality of the interface, and it fits in my guitar case. Recommended.

Low Quality Build Feels and Works like Cheap Plastic

Bought it as an interface between my iPad and a midi keyboard. Midi interface is terrible with the old fashion media connectors and 8th inch pins. I want powered USB interface. It is not 1976 anymore. Audio connections are low-quality. Primary audio output is an 8th inch pin The volume control on the output is recessed into the housing and mine would not move I was scraping my finger now trying to turn the output volume on and off. I was really hoping this would be a very high-quality digital to analog converter that could drive headphones, or my keyboard amp or mixing board. I did not test the input extensively but it seemed OK. The big volume knob on the front panel felt very chintzy and I expected it to be a really nice volume knob and I was hoping it was the output volume knob because that is something I adjust a lot more than the input. Overall this was not good for my configuration which was to play live music with live sounds coming out of my iPad and hook up my midi keyboard. It ended up adding a lot of wiring to my set up instead of being a nice clean USB bus powered interface between my iPad, my keyboard, and my I/O device I ended up with the new Apple USB three powered connector. It provides power to my iPad, power to my midi keyboard, and if I add a USB hub it allows me to drive a high-quality deed to a converter which is now part of my gig set up. I am using a real high-quality deed to a converter That I bought as a high-resolution headphone driver for PC/Mac. Though I don't have the recording capability, my set up is clean and mean. This is what I expected this product to solve for me. Not even close. This thing does not power your audio dev that I bought as a high-resolution headphone driver for PC/Mac. Though I don't have the recording capability, my set up is clean and mean. This is what I expected this product to solve for me. Not even close.

    I got this iRig pro because I wanted to play the music for my mpc live 2 directly to my phone on stream, but it didn't work how I planned. I've had the pro duo before and that worked, but something happened. If anyone looking to do the same, get the iRig stream or stream pro instead!

    As far as "function" this interface does what it say. Still, there are big disadvantages as to the usability of the product. First, to hear yourself play, you need to have headphones connected directly to the interface. Computer speakers, Bluetooth or any other way of getting sound has a lag and terrible audio quality. Perhaps a better sound card on my laptop would help with the quality but not the lag. It's, therefore, unplayable without headphones which puts you on a very short leash unless you have a long headphone cable. I will look out the window and it will drag the interface off the table (my coffee with it one time, yikes). This, plus the fact that it can't be used in a live performance since there's no other output except the headphone jack just makes the product not worth the high price-point. Buy a Behringer U-Phoria instead. Their equivalent is less than half the price.

    I wasn't going to head online, and trash this product, I was just going to let it go…. but, Guitar Center sent an email, asking me how it was going, with the new purchase, and to send a review. So, here it is: The disappointment began, when I opened the irig pro box, and realized that the midi cables were not what was shown on the exterior of the box, and not as advertised on online promotional pictures. The picture on box, and online, shows 2 decent length MIDI cables wound up…what I got was 2 MIDI cables barely the length of my hand!
