"The sound from the little microphone is remarkably full, natural and balanced. It is also a very useful tool, and the most inexpensive way I can think of to capture a good acoustic guitar recording... Awesome."
Bedroom Producers Blog's expert reviewer, Drogomir Smolken, has taken a thorough look at iRig Acoustic Stage, both in his home studio and live on stage. He is extremely impressed with the results.
Here are some of his key comments.
"The preamp is remarkably full-featured."
"Outputs are 1/4″ audio and USB. Small preamps keep getting smarter and more sophisticated in recent years, but getting calibration and USB outputs at this price is still a shock."
"The sound from the little microphone is remarkably full, natural and balanced."
"It picks up very little external noise, so if you need to record in a noisy environment, like many bedroom producers often do, this can save you from having to redo takes because a car drove past the window or somebody in the next room was talking."
"For live use where feedback would make that condenser useless, the iRig Acoustic Stage is a great solution."
"The fact that the mic can be mounted on a guitar in a few seconds without having to adjust screws is great. If you run an open-mic night where lots of people show up with guitars and only some of those guitars have a pickup, this is the most convenient way to get them all amplified."
"iRig Acoustic Stage is ridiculously good value for money and very practical if you need to amplify an acoustic guitar live. For home recording, it is also a very useful tool, and the most inexpensive way I can think of to capture a good acoustic guitar recording."
