Griffin Technology's new MicConnect is a battery-powered microphone interface for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. About the size and shape of a candy bar, it is as simple and sweet as can be and still deliver great sound from any professional microphone. This small, inline module has an XLR microphone input jack on one end and a short audio cable coming out of the other that plugs into your iOS device's headphone jack. Headphone playback volume is controlled within the iOS program/device you're using.
Simplicity continues with a single mini-stereo headphone jack for passing through the audio from the device to your ear buds and a basic on/off/+48-volt phantom power slide switch for studio condenser mics. Two AA batteries are included and required to power the circuitry that generates phantom power. The side-mounted mic gain control allows from +6dB to +26dB of mic gain for easily recording loud signals from dynamic mics or very quiet sounds from condenser mics.
Apple GarageBand-ready as well as most iOS audio programs like WaveMachine Labs' Auria, I also found good use for MicConnect as a proper pre-amp for Smaart Tools' iPad Spectrum Audio Tools. I could connect a pro measurement microphone, phantom power it and get more than enough mic gain for more accurate readings than possible with the built-in iPad mic! MicConnect is now available for $39.99 MSRP.
