‘Mikey Digital is the highest quality and most versatile solution for capturing professional recordings on your iOS device with most audio apps or the built-in video camera,’ says Blue Microphones CEO, John Maier. ‘Mikey Digital brings more than professional-quality recording to these mobile platforms, it also turns your iOS device into a studio interface for recording guitar, connecting a lavaliere mic or capturing line level audio straight to your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.’
Mikey Digital has a built-in mic preamp and A/D converter, and features automatic and manual gain control and a multi-source auxiliary input for direct recording of guitar and other sound sources. It also has Mikey Digital also a USB pass-thru connection for charging devices while in-use for continuous recording without draining battery life.
The mic features two custom-tuned condenser capsules – the same capsules as in Blue’s - Snowball and Yeti USB microphones – and can be switched between automatic and manual gain settings. It is also equipped with an LED clipping indicator that signals whenever volume levels are producing distortion, providing immediate feedback to adjust for best recording results.
Mikey Digital also features a multi-source 3.5mm auxiliary input jack for stereo line-in, instrument-in and mic-in for direct recording of sources including guitars and handheld mics, as well as a mixer output.
A 230°-degree rotating head assists video by rotating recording by allowing the the mic to be aligned with a front- or rear- facing camera. Further, it incorporates an advanced microprocessor allowing for upgradeability and future control through iOS applications.
