Recommended model: iRig Mic Studio
 
IK Multimedia is an Italian company that develops software and hardware for audio production, and has been at the forefront of the field. Artists who have been some of the most important in the history of modern music, such as the Rolling Stones, Queen, and Jimi Hendrix, have used IK's software to write and perform. In order to conform to the trend of the times, IK has also shifted its focus and created a large number of software and hardware products around mobile devices, and several peripheral hardware have also been selected by Apple's official website accessories store.
 
Weighing in at just 100 grams, iRig Mic Studio is lightweight and packed with all the box. The microphone has a large one-inch diaphragm built into it, so you can record vocals and instruments with good detail. The clean, clear recording quality at 24bit/48kHz resolution is also affirmed by the Sound on Sound website. Compared to the similarly priced Apogee Mic 96K, iRig Mic Studio's extra gain knob and headphone jack are more user-friendly for content creators, while the mobile app's extensive support lowers the barrier to entry.
