The SmartRig II XLR Mic & 1/4″ Guitar Adapter with Phantom Power Preamp for Smartphones from Saramonic is designed to connect any XLR microphone or a 1/4″ guitar to your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Android device. It can be used as a high-quality microphone preamp that allows you to capture audio using a professional stage microphone, or a high-end studio microphone for your smartphone device.

Furthermore, the SmartRig II has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. It is built with a headphone monitoring jack, but the recording app you use (sold separately) must feature a playback monitoring option, which sends a playback signal in addition to receiving the audio input, for the monitor to be active.

The Saramonic SmartRig II is an easy solution to connect any a XLR microphone or 6.3mm guitar to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and Android devices. As a high-quality microphone preamp, the Saramonic SmartRig II allows you to use professional stage microphones or high-end studio microphones to create music with your mobile iOS or Android devices.

Important note: To use the headphone monitoring jack, the recording app you use must feature a “playback monitoring” option. What that does is sends a playback signal in addition to receiving the audio input.
