Compact and lightweight by design, the iRig Mic Video delivers clear, crisp, directional audio with incredible
ease of use. Its tight pickup area focuses directly in front of the microphone and reduces other surrounding
sounds, ensuring that your subject is isolated from distracting background noise.
Thanks to its neodymium magnets it easily attaches to a wide range of smartphones and tablets as well as
laptops. It sports a micro USB connector that can be used to connect to any device and an headphones out
allows you to monitoring the recorded audio.
Also, it can be mounted on a DSLR camera using the female 1/4” thread insert and, thanks to the 1/8” output
jack it is possible to record great audio directly on your camera. Plus, thanks to the CR1632 battery (not
included), it can be also used with DSLR cameras that do not provide “plug-in power” and, furthermore, the iRig
Mic Video contains a 10dB pre amplifier, boosting the mic signal allowing the user to reduce the camera’s micinput level, reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera’s lower quality audio circuitry.

Installation and setup
1. Fix the metal plate in the desired position on your device. You can stick the plate on the back of the device,
or you can stick it on the back of the case, or you can insert it between the device and its case. Depending
on the position and the device you’re using, we provided two different plate sizes so you can use the one
that best fits your needs.
2. Attach the iRig Mic Video over the plate: thanks to the built-in magnets the microphone will remain fixed in
place.
