IK interface lets mobile content creators use XLR microphones
IK Multimedia has given a helping hand to creators, musicians and journalists looking to give their visual content a pro-level audio boost with the launch of the iRig Pre 2, a battery powered pre-amp that connects XLR microphones to mobile devices or digital cameras.
The mobile microphone interface is powered by two included AA-sized batteries and will work with any iOS/Android mobile device or digital camera rocking a 3.5-mm audio jack. If your phone is USB or Lightning only, you’ll need to invest in an adapter.

Any type of XLR microphone can then be included in the content creation setup, with 48-V phantom power on tap for condenser mics. When using alkaline batteries, users can expect around seven hours of continuous use with phantom power engaged, or 20 hours when phantom is off (for dynamic or ribbon mics, for example).
Elsewhere, there’s adjustable gain control (with a range of 48 dB), direct monitoring via the included headphone output (to ensure an optimal recording signal before and during recording or streaming), and users can mount the Pre 2 to a mic stand or carry strap with Velcro for push-on/pull-off convenience.
IK Multimedia
The device is reported compatible with most popular live-streaming and audio/video apps, though IK has two of its own called iRig Recorder Free and VocaLive Free available from the Apple or Google Play stores.
The iRig Pre 2 is available for pre-order now for US$49.99, with shipping expected to start next month. The video below has more.

Judging how ripe a piece of fruit is can be a frustrating process for everyone from farmers to shoppers. Now, researchers at Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) in Japan have developed a new high-tech way to check, without touching or damaging soft fruit like mangoes. All it takes is a laser and some plasma shockwaves.

When viewing sports coverage from other countries, it’s common to see sideline advertising boards that are promoting products you’ve never even heard of. This new TV system is capable of digitally replacing the content of those boards, so they’re advertising region-specific products.

The Earth has an expiry date – in about five billion years, the Sun will expand and swallow up our home world. But it turns out life on Earth could have a much earlier end point. A new study has found that in about a billion years’ time, the atmosphere will lose most of its oxygen rapidly, which may have important implications in the search for life on other planets.
