IK Multimedia iRig Stream | Streaming audio interface for iPhone, iPad and Mac/PC
| Weight: | 68 g |
| Dimensions: | 10.41 x 2.92 x 3.18 cm; 68.04 Grams |
| Model: | IP-IRIG-STREAM-IN |
Prodotto conforme alla descrizione.
Il volume di uscita cuffie purtroppo un po basso, ma per il resto da quel che deve.
Great little audio interface tool to keep in the kit… the stereo input pair can be adapted for individual single channel inputs or wired directly from the line outs of a mixer or other playback device. Loopback is included, as are jacks for passthru and headphones, as well as level adjustment wheels. Output is summed to mono for easy streaming and compatibility with socials. Lightweight without feeling cheap. Great audio quality, very versatile. Runs on AA batteries and seems to be low draw. If you find yourself wanting to start streaming and you’re not sure where to start or what to buy, definitely start with this… you’ll be able to do a lot with it, without getting overwhelmed in the process.

capture fingerprints, a Lot of of them….
* The Text on the iRig is hard to read and the position of the

I’m just starting to learn all of the possibilities this little unit unlocks and it is impressive. Having the ability to connect up to three different inputs makes live streaming a breeze. Super simple and intuitive interface makes it useable to amateurs like me. I look forward to exploring more of the options going forward! Great job, as always IK Multimedia.
This iRig has been a true game changer. Mix up to 4 channels of audio into a single cohesive stream. It shipped with all of the cables I needed as well to plug into my various Apple devices. Was very easy to independently record guitar, drums, and keyboard and mix them together in the DAW.
It’s well worth the price being asked.
This is an excellent interface for recording audio onto your iPhone. You can literally connect the outputs from a audio mixer to your iPhone or Android or tablet to record mixed audio easily.
It had mic inputs, line level inputs, etc. It’s a great audio device to have in your audio kit. Be warned that it records in mono though.
It’s very portable since it only needs two AA batteries to work.
I got this because I wanted to simplify my TikTok live stream setup. I think this is a great value for the price for those who want to primarily focus on more amateur scenarios or podcasting.
There are 3 inputs which is great. You get your integrated headset/mic combo, the loopback feature, and a stereo pair of RCA jacks. It comes with 2 AA batteries which is nice.
I would absolutely use this for streaming on TikTok from my iPhone. You do need to bring your own TRRS to lightning adapter. The loopback feature is great for letting your audience hear what your device is playing. There’s also a thru output that lets you send your live stream mix out to basically anything that will accept an audio input (useful for recording your stream audio for later use).
My one and only gripe is that this doesn’t do true stereo. It sums to mono. Now, it advertises this fact clearly and explains the price point as well. I think a lot of people will get a lot of great use from this affordable, versatile, and very portable stream mixer (I’m not sure what else to call it) but for my use cases I need true stereo separation as my streams involve streaming music creation and such. That said, the mono summing that this unit does is not so awful that it’s useless. If this was all I had on me I could definitely get away with doing a stereo stream on it without losing much in the mono summing.
I think this is a great gift for podcasters (especially those who want a very portable setup) and anyone who want to take love streams they do on their mobile devices to the next level.
Solid build quality, definitely a step up from the iRig Pre 2. Connectors feel much sturdier.
Created some tracks, first using the XLR with phantom power to mic a guitar cab, then used the Instrument input to record bass and finally some lead guitar. Did the exact same thing with my Audient iD44 interface to compare against.
Overall, got some nice clear recordings from the iRig but felt that they were slightly warm.
The DI bass recordings sound great but there is a slightly higher noise floor and that slight warmth to the tone didn’t work quite as well for guitar DI. My Audient sounds slightly clinical on some of the tracks but it pays off with how the captured signal interacts with my amp plugins. The iRig is definitely usable but it wouldn’t be my first choice for DI tracking heavy guitars.
The interface itself, when connected to an M1 Mac (USB-C), was plug and play in Logic. Very easy to setup and start recording. Audio playback from the Mac routes through the iRig and into your headphones.
Getting the input levels right was initially confusing, as there are 3 rotary controls that seemed to interact in a way I didn’t expect – need to dig into the manual!! But I did get my levels where I wanted quick enough. The Signal meter is pretty helpful. Phantom power is a simple switch on the side, easy.
Latency was very acceptable, I even used input monitoring in Logic when tracking bass and timing was great. But having built-in direct monitoring be available – and switchable – is super handy.
The headphone out drives my Sennheiser HD280 Pros without issue. Level was set to about 8 but it was clean and clear.
As an audio interface, it works great and for the portability and feature-set the pricing seems fair.
There are other audio interfaces around this price point with multiple mic pres / IO that may be worth considering but many lack true iOS support, which is a great feature on the iRig. You can basically make any PC, Mac or iPad / iPhone your DAW.
For me, I don’t really need the RCA inputs.. yet. There are some applications where they could be really handy.
But I was able to knock together a decent sounding track in a couple hours with minimal effort using this. So for that it gets 5 stars.
Some cool features: as an audio interface, thanks to a (semi) proprietary output port, it comes equipped with cables that let you plug right in to an iPhone with lightning port, Android or other USB-C equipped device (ie, laptop), or a regular old USB connector. This in itself is actually pretty useful, making it a device that plays anywhere with minimal hassle. Also, with the optional power supply, it can charge an iPhone while the cable is plugged in.
It is essentially a four-channel audio input device, although it defaults to two channel mode. However, the channel inputs are a bit limited, because they are dedicated as follows: an XLR mic or 1/4 instrument (eg guitar) connector; a TRRS headphone type microphone connector; a “left” and “right” line level connector with RCA plugs.
Each of these inputs has a dedicated thumbwheel level control, providing the ability to mix the output signal level, albeit, with some semi-awkward twiddling.
For me the most obvious and natural use of this device seems to be for recording through a high quality mic into an iPhone while recording a video at the same time – although for me, the likeliest scenario is recording myself playing and singing with my acoustic guitar, in which case, I would like to use two mics. I have an XLR to TRRS cable on order, and am anxiously curious as to how the signal for the second mic will be handled on that channel given that it is not a straight balanced XLR signal.
Since it has only one XLR input, you might want to compare it with something like the Shure X2U, which is a single XLR mic input, but otherwise it has essentially the same monitoring and phantom power capabilities that the Stream Pro has (although the Stream Pro also has switches to independently turn on / off direct monitoring and loopback monitoring while the X2U is more of a mixer).
The Stream Pro is partially bus powered as well as having batteries and the power adapter options. The latter are primarily for when the 48v phantom power is required for a condenser mic.
Other options to think about are perhaps something like the Zoom H4n, which includes a pair of condenser mics for recording in stereo as well as two XLR-or-instrument connectors, as well as having the ability to serve as a (two channel) audio input.
What I’m trying to say here by offering these comparisons is that the Stream Pro serves up a bundle of features that may or may not be ideal for a particular application. My experience now that I have it is that it incorporates a number of trade-offs that allow it to check a number of boxes, but which maybe make it less than ideal for specific ones. For me, I expect to use it primarily for recording video straight into my iPhone, and I will be taking advantage of the iRig Recorder app available for download. It gives you a bit more fine grain control over the signal processing of both audio and video.
Brilliant piece of kit, easy to use and quite a sturdy thing too
Great value and excellent quality! Arrived fast and in perfect condition!
This is a handy device for easily adding your voice (via a headset microphone) on top of up to 3 other audio sources. The audio sources could be line-level devices like musical instruments or a mixer or even audio playing on your smartphone. The iRig Stream combines the sources into one signal that it sends back to your smartphone for live-streaming or recording. Considering how compact and inexpensive this device is, I think it works great, especially for internet use where you don’t need the highest quality audio. The iRig is battery-powered so you can easily use it at home or on the go.
if your are a DJ like myself this is what you need, going live with great audio from my iPhone connected to the irig solo and then to my mixer output is never been easie
Much easier to use my than the Evermix in my opinion. Better volume setting and general functionality.
As some said, it’s not compatible with Android, but it is with pc thankfully.
works great with pc, literally just plug and play.
I would recommend i
As per the headline, I don’t use this as it’s intended, but for something completely different. The Sonos Connect or Port costs around 250 used for the Connect, and 400 new for the Port. This costs 79, and lets me plug the output from my amp through the Tape Out phonos, or direct from the turntable preamp into my iPhone. I can then use a free App, AirChord, to stream via Airplay in stereo to my Sonos!
Sounds brilliant, simple and effective.
It allows me to send great audio to my social media site and is also great for live streaming..
Works great! I have an Android phone and it works just fine. Shouldn’t have to buy the power supply separately is my only complaint.
Excellent product and does what it says on the tin. Set up is a singe, recording levels are great and easily managed.
Using with iPhone 8 Plus and every recording I’ve made has been brilliant.
Comes with various types of cables to connect to different sockets/phones too.
It’s a very good interface device for streaming through your mobile phone , my only criticisms are the din jack would be more ideally replaced with either a stereo normal jack or twin rca output jacks and despite having a lead in the box for Android users I found before switching to iPhone that it was incompatible. Also it’s supporting iRig App crashes on Android but by opening the iRig app on my iPhone whilst connected to the iRig Stream the device works with absolutely no problems and the sound is very impressive, so my advice if you’re having problems using it on your Android phone, switch to iPhone .
Very easy to set up and works perfectly for recording my home DJ sets.
The only problem I get when I use it with my mixing desc is the levels ..A bit tricky.. But everything else is grea
Decent Bass and Treble response from Mixer to Computer.
Just a shame that Power Pack doesn’t come with it but still can be powered by connection to Computer or Laptop.
This product is simple and easy to setup and perfect for streaming video or audio
