IK Multimedia has launched two new audio interfaces aimed at musicians and DJs who livestream, the iRig Stream Pro and the iRig Stream Solo.
The iRig Stream Pro sits above the iRig Stream, an audio interface we’ve reviewed (here’s our iRig Stream review) and which we also use daily here in the Digital DJ Tips studio, whereas the iRig Solo is a low-cost all-analogue solution offering mono input to any device with a TRRS (ie headphones/microphone) socket.
