PRESS RELEASE

London UK - 15th October 2012 - Blue Microphones (www.bluemic.com), a leading innovator in microphone technology and design, announces that Mikey Digital is fully compatible with the iPhone 5 using Apple's adapter for the new lightning connection. Originally developed for the iPhone 4/4S, the Mikey Digital functions equally well with the iPhone 5's adapter, whilst the use of the adapter even allows for the microphone to be flipped around to record full audio and visual face on. Further to its adaptability to Apple's latest creation, Mikey Digital is also fully compatible with the iPod touch 4G when the device has been updated to IOS6.
 
Mikey Digital is a plug-and-play stereo microphone that directly connects to iPhone and iPad and is instantly recognised for use with any audio or video application. Whether catching a concert, shooting video, or recording guitar, Mikey Digital captures truly professional recordings on-the-go with two of Blue's premium condenser capsules and built-in sensitivity control. Mikey Digital also features a multi-source input jack that allows for direct connection of guitars and other sound sources to record with the highest possible fidelity.  Mikey Digital, MSRP £99.99, is available at Maplin Electronics, Dixons and Apple Retails stores (UK) in September.

There are many ways to get the most out of the Mikey Digital and it's recommended that it's used with a high quality recording app instead of voice memos; voice memos record in mono at a lower bit rate and won't fully utilize the quality that Mikey Digital offers. There are many additional apps available in iTunes, such as:

  • FiRe 2.0
  • GarageBand
  • Jammit
  • MultiTrack DAW
  • StudioMini Recording Studio
  • SunVox
  • TwistedWave Audio Editor

"Mikey Digital is the highest quality and most versatile solution for recording audio on-the-go with your iPhone or iPad," said John Maier, CEO of Blue Microphones. "Mikey Digital features the same capsules used in our award-winning Snowball and Yeti USB microphones, delivering the rich, detailed audio that Blue is known for. With its input jack, Mikey Digital transforms from a mic into a direct interface for recording guitar, connecting a lavaliere mic or capturing line level audio straight to your iOS device."
