iRig Stream Pro

This product works well, is good quality, and matches the description. It’s reliable, easy to use, and worth the price. I’m very satisfied and would recommend it other.

Works as advertised. Easy setup. All I had to do was plug it in to the right I/O sources.

Verry good

Note: I'm a professional audio engineer, so some of my comments may be more technical than what the average user is gong to need (or care about)! The iRig Stream is a handy little interface for doing both recording and live streaming. This device was tested with an iPhone 7 (Verizon version), running IOS version 13.3.1, and version 3.0.2 of the iRig app. The interface itself is pretty straightforward. There are two RCA input jacks, designed for a nominal level of -10dBv, with an input impedence of 16.5K ohms. A mini-DIN jack connects it to an iPhone or computer, with three interface cables supplied. A 3.5MM jack on the side allows for either stereo headphones or a combo headset with mic (TRRS connection). A switch (supposedly) allows the headphones to monitor from either the interface or the phone (see comments below). There are two small recessed thumbwheels for the headphone level and the mic level of the headset mic (if used). The input level is controlled by a (nicely damped) rotary pot, with three LED's to indicate the level. A switch also allows the interface to sum the two input channels to mono when used with apps that only support one channel. The interface is capable of 24 bit recording at sample rates of 32, 44.1 and 48kHz, and has a coaxial DC jack to allow the connected device to be charged using an external 5 volt supply (not included). The app is relatively straightforward to use, and with the optional add-ons allows the user to export high quality WAV files and MP4 video files to a variety of destinations. I tested the phone using the optional Pro Bundle, which costs $14.95. I conducted basic tests with swept sine waves and a few different levels, all of which were relatively flat. I have not had a chance to check out the quality of the A/D converter, and don't know what chip set is used. I also did not have an opportunity to test how susceptible it might be to RF interference. In use, there were a couple of issues that cropped up. 1. The switch which allows for loop through monitoring does not function the way that one would think. When the loopback switch is in the "On" position, it will loop through the interface, BUT, it will also reproduce audio from the phone itself at an attenuated level (such as playing back a file). It DOES NOT completely defeat the audio from the device. The only way to completely turn off the audio from the device itself is to turn the level on it all the way down. When the switch is in the "Off" position it will playback a file at normal level. This a rather contrary to how a typical loop-through monitor functions. 2. When plugging the interface into the phone, it momentarily allows the source audio to be monitored, but drops out after a second or two, until the app is opened. It also does not reliably connect the headphone output once the app is opened. I would have preferred an arrangement whereby the monitor is activated once the interface is plugged in. 3. The 3 LED's for the record level indication are rather skimpy, and there is no way to calibrate the actual level the external input (mixer or other device). I would have much preferred at least a 10 segment LED indicator with some kind indication of the actual level in dB. While there is a 60 segment 3 color bargraph style display in the app, there are no witness marks anywhere on the display that would give you any idea of what the actual level is. To complicate matters, even though it is a 60 segment display, it actually only displays a 50 dB range (IE, it's not 1 dB per division). Kind of annoying... 4. I would have liked to have had a way to attach a mounting clip of some sort to be able to attached the interface to a stand, which is likely how it would be used if a phone was used in the camera mode for streaming or shooting video. I tested the file export function to sent files to my Dropbox account, which worked without any issues (but can be rather slow depending on your connection). In addition, I tested the interface with the Dayana Voice Record Pro app. The app recognizes the interface and allows the user to set the sample rate and bit depth, but the only way to activate the monitor is to actually be in "record". (The loop through switch seems to have no effect on this). Also, for some reason the level on the Voice Recorder Pro app is a about 6 dB hotter than the level shown in the iRig app (for the same given input level). So, certainly functional, but doesn't act exactly the way one might expect. The user manual available online could be a bit better, but at least they included a few specifications. Bottom line, it's not in the class of a Focusrite iTrack Solo, but for the $$ it's a handy device to have.

I obtained this IK Multimedia iRig Stream Pro with the hopes of recording and streaming guitar for TikTok videos since that basically requires the use of a phone. The only plus with this device is that it comes with a lightning cable to connect to pre-iPhone 15 phones; however the cables this device use connect via a mini-DIN connector, so that's all you're going to use this cable for, and you cannot use other cables you have laying around. First and foremost, if you are testing this with some headphones, you MUST have it plugged into the phone AND have your camera ON, or else you will not get any sound at all and you will think "why isn't this thing even working". When connecting a Les Paul guitar directly into the instrument connector, I could not find any combination of MIC/INST Gain and Main Level that sounded good at all. It was all distorted. Maybe if you turn down the volume on the guitar or the volume gets so low that it does not sound well. In addition, at almost all levels there is a ton of noise in the signal. For kicks, I experimented with other ways to use this. At best, I could get a decent sound by plugging the guitar into my amp, which is then connected to an attenuator and using the line level out on the attenuator over an XLR cable, and then converted that to RCA, but ONLY when connecting the RCA to a mono to stereo splitter and connecting BOTH RCAs into the device. And with that, I had to turn the level out all the way up on the attenuator and level in on the iRig all the way up. Still, the volume was probably 33% of what would sound well (without turning the amp up or turning levels up on pedals, etc, which did not sound good), and I could not get a good tone no matter what I did. Next, I plugged the XLR directly into the MIC/INST input; predictably that does not sound good. Lastly, I got the iRig Mic, hoping I to use that as a microphone in addition to the guitar input; and although the Mic does not sound bad (plugging in to the Headset input), again there is a ton of noise like when plugging a guitar into the MIC/INST input, which makes it totally unusable. One more thing, I did experiment with playing devices (i.e. a minidisc player of all things) into the RCA inputs and .. it works. Doesn't sound the greatest, but it probably sounded the best of anything else I described above with little noise. Maybe I should record playing guitar onto minidisc and then just play that back with this iRig thing? I emailed their customer support 3 days ago, I have not heard back. I really have no idea how anyone is getting a good sound with this thing...

If you record audio/video for social media or other applications this product is a terrific option for better audio. Easy to set up and use. Great sound quality and functionality. This unit uses power from your iPhone or other device so I would recommend purchasing the optional power supply, also. Initially, I used it without the power supply and found that it drained my iPhone battery quicker than was expected. After buying the power supply my iPhone stays at full charge throughout my sessions.

Perfect

Very good
