This is achieved through its uniquely designed microphone enclosure, which uses the latest MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) microphone technology with an omnidirectional polar pattern. The result is a pure and full representation of an acoustic guitar's tonal characteristics.The iRig Acoustic utilizes a MEMS microphone, the cutting edge of microphone technology, to deliver a clear, open tone that is resistant to mechanical vibrations. This ensures a consistent, detailed, and focused sound performance after performance. Installation is a breeze with the iRig Acoustic. It securely clips onto the rim of the soundhole of any acoustic instrument, without requiring any modifications. This means you can easily switch it between your acoustics, even during the same set.

It's compatible with any stringed instruments with a circular sound-hole, making it a versatile tool for musicians. The iRig Acoustic comes with the AmpliTube Acoustic app, a complete mobile acoustic tone studio. This app features a calibration and setup process that optimizes the frequency response of your acoustic instrument, delivering the "sweet spot" sonic clarity, tonal characteristics, and projection that you'd normally get in a studio with a high-end studio condenser microphone. With the iRig Acoustic and AmpliTube Acoustic, you can achieve that ultimate level of acoustic realness and character at a fraction of the cost.
