Mikey is made for:

• iPod touch (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation)

• iPod nano (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation)

• iPod classic

• iPod (5th generation)

The iPod touch allows you to expand Mikey’s capabilities with a wide range of new
recording apps, all available for download from the App Store.

Working with the audio application experts at Audiofile Engineering, Blue has developed its own recording
software app, Bl ue FiRe, specifically tailored to bring the most out of your Mikey. You can find it available
for free download in the App Store. Blue FiRe for Mikey provides CD-quality stereo recording capabilities
along with basic file management capabilities and simple touch-screen editing for the iPod Touch.

Note that there are many recording applications available, and all should properly address and record
with Mikey. However, some programs may hinder Mikey’s capabilities (like the built in Voice Recorder
app, which only records only low quality, mono audio), so be sure to download and use Blue FiRe so your
recordings will have all the quality they deserve. You can also check out Blue’s Mikey web page for a more
complete listing of available recording apps and their capabilities.
