Acoustic Musicians - Now you can enjoy an affordable mobile gaming and recording system with professional sound personalized for you! Inspired by the unmissable documentary on flamenco guitar master Paco de Lucia, iRig Acoustic is the first mobile acoustic guitar mic / interface for acoustic musicians. With iRig Acoustic and AmpliTube Acoustic, now musicians have a complete, professional-sounding mobile system for performing live and recording, designed specifically for on-the-go acoustic guitars.
The sound quality of studio mics - only better Certainly the best reproduction of acoustic guitar sound comes from positioning a high-end studio condenser microphone in the point just in front of the guitar. iRig Acoustic, when used with AmpliTube Acoustic, is designed to perfectly reproduce this ideal mic placement and precisely capture the full frequency range, tonal character and complex harmonics of acoustic guitars. It can do this thanks to the combination of its uniquely designed microphone cabinet, which combines cutting edge micro MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) technology with an omnidirectional polar pattern, positioning the microphone in the soundhole where the output is optimal and the the sound is very detailed and precise, and the process of “calibration” which optimizes the guitar sound as if it were mixed from the outside with a high quality studio microphone. These technologies combine to capture the "full picture" of an acoustic guitar - every vibration and sonic interaction - unlike piezo or magnetic pickups which only capture vibrations from the upper body or the strings. In short, iRig Acoustic gives you a pure and complete representation of the tonal characteristics of an acoustic guitar.
Easy installation - hang on, plug in iRig Acoustic is very easy to install (or remove) on any guitar - you don't have to make any modifications to your instruments to use it. It can be hung simply and securely on the edge of the soundhole of an acoustic instrument and you are ready to play. Since you can easily install and remove it, you can use iRig Acoustic on all your acoustics, during the same set too! What makes iRig Acoustic unique is the fact that it gives you studio-quality sound AND it allows musicians to move freely on stage or in the studio without feedback or sound alterations. This is virtually impossible using traditional acoustic miking techniques in the studio or during live performances.
