Music has entered a new stage. You may now listen to music wherever you want from the comfort and privacy, thanks to technological developments. I’ll go through the Shure mVI and iRig Pro audio interfaces in this article.
It’s not always necessary to record live broadcasts, podcasts, films (especially music), or any other type of material in your recording studio. Because the iRig Pro Duo is so tiny, you can record high-quality music everywhere. It comes equipped with everything you’ll need to register high-quality music without having to cope with the intricacies of your studio.

The unit connects via Lightning Connector to any PC, Mac, or iOS device, as well as most Android smartphones, allowing you complete control while on the go.
This all-metal device has a combination XLR and 6.3 mm input, allowing it to be used with microphones and instruments. It also supplies the phantom power needed to operate condenser microphones when connected to a laptop/PC.
