The iRig Mic Cast 2 and iRig Mic Cast HD microphones from IK Multimedia offer featherweight, pocket-sized portability and crystal-clear voice recording using an iPad, iPhone or Android device.
The ultra-compact, travel-friendly, iRig Mic Cast 2 offers an affordable solution for crisp, clear voice recording for YouTube videos, Instagram, live streams, or audio for Skype and FaceTime calls. This mic mounts securely onto an iPad or smartphone. Its innovative magnetic design lets users snap it into place on their device in seconds (even with a case).
The iRig Mic Cast HD offers all the core features of iRig Mic Cast 2, along with enhancements for 
professional use. It adds gold-sputtered capsules for superior sound, a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and 24-bit, 96 kHz converters for crystal clear audio via Lightning, Micro-USB and USB-C cables, all included. iRig Mic Cast HD also offers front and rear selectable recording plus a bi-directional, figure 8 pickup pattern that’s ideal for conducting interviews while rejecting off-axis noise.
