Acoustic instruments - MiC's preamp and A/D converter are designed to record the true tone of acoustic instruments. Recordings of acoustic guitar, piano, strings and percussion will all sound like you are in the room with the performance.

MiC for audio with iPhone video - MiC takes your iPhone videos to the next level. Whether you are capturing a performance for YouTube, making home movies, or shooting an indie film, recording with MiC will bring studio-quality audio to your next production.

MiC for audio with DSLR video - Recording audio on a DSLR video shoot can be difficult, but with MiC and iPhone it's incredibly easy. Simply connect MiC to a boom pole using the MiC Stand Adapter, plug into your iPhone and begin capturing audio anywhere. You can then upload the files to your Mac and begin editing in Final Cut Pro. MiC is a great way to bring 48kHz HD sound to the cinematic image quality offered by cameras like the Canon 7D, Canon 5D and the Nikon D800.
