IK Multimedia releases iRig Voice, a vocal microphone for iOS and Android Devices, available in 5 different colors.

This new mic is designed to work with popular singing and music apps that include "EZ Voice" and partner apps like Smule's "Sing! Karaoke" and "AutoRap". It also works with other apps like "Karaoke Anywhere by JoltSoft", "The Voice: On Stage by StarMaker", "musiXmatch", and many more.

iRig Voice has a unidirectional cardoid design much like regular dynamic vocal microphones. It provides a unidirectional close voice pickup that's tuned for optimal vocal frequency range reproduction.

Basic on/off slide switch is provided for quick muting, and it connects through the microphone/headphone jack found on all iOS and Android devices. It has a dedicated stereo output where you can connect speakers for stage use, or you can use headphones for private practice.

iRig Voice follows the shape of a standard dynamic vocal microphone, so it looks familiar and is easy to hold. It gives you the feel of a stage microphone and it is designed to work in your room and on stage. Because of its shape, iRig Voice will fit into regular mic stand clips, and it has a pickup that minimizes feedback so it can be used with louder speaker systems.

To make it more appealing to younger upcoming singers, iRig Voice is available in 5 stylish colors: Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink and White. The pink and white colors matches the colors of the iPhone 5c, in case you want to color match it with your phone.

The casing is said to be crafted from pigmented thermoplastic that wont fade over time. This material is said to be strong and durable, yet lightweight. The durable aluminum mesh cage protects the mic capsule from drops, while a breathable moisture barrier keeps vapor out of the capsule.
