Griffin MicConnect an XLR Microphone Adapter for iPhone or iPad
Jackie from Griffin introduces their new MicConnectat this year’s CES 2013. The MicConnect makes recording audio from a high quality XLR microphone into your iPad or iPhone possible.
Once your mic has been connected to the XLR input on MicConnect, plug the 1/8″ (3.5 mm) audio cable into your device’s headphone jack and launch GarageBand or other compatible app to begin recording. With built-in +48V phantom power, you’re no longer restricted to just passive dynamic microphones. Grab your favorite condenser mic and get to work.
Plug your mic cable into the front XLR jack on MicConnect, connect the 1/8″ (3.5 mm) audio cable into your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch’s headphone jack and launch GarageBand. NOTE: If you’re using a condenser microphone, press the +48V button on the top of MicConnect to turn on phantom power (2 x AA batteries required, not included).

This looks just like the iRig Pre which has been available for about 6 months.
I bought two of those and I use it to record audio on my 5D Mark iii. All you need is a cellphone y cable adaptor and you have audio as well as headphone audio. It’s VERY clean, in fact I sold my juiced link box because it was better.
Same price as the iRig Pre as well, I guess they’re playing catch up.
Oh and the iRig Pre has a headphone jack and the Griffin version does not.
@Chaz Hey, interesting info, thanks for sharing for other readers! So are you connecting the iRig PRE to an iOS device or to your camera? I’m curious as you mentioned the juicedLink preamp.
Currently I am only using it with my 5d3, but it’s good to know I can also use it with my ios devices. Here’s a link to a video where I used the iRig Pre for one of my clients. I used the same wired lav that you use on your show, I saw your post so I bought one. I’ll also include a video that will give you the details about using it with the 5D3.
