Various Applications For home audio/Karaoke For personal song creation/video show/facebook live For street performance/guitar show/solo SmartRig+ Di The SmartRig+ Di makes your recording work easier by connecting professional microphones and guitars (or other instruments) to your smartphone, tablet, DSLR camera or video camera. 2 independent channels allow you to connect and control gain on multiple microphones or guitars at the same time. The interface also features 3 types of input to accommodate any set up: two XLR mic inputs, two 1/4" (6.35mm) guitar inputs, and two 1/8" (3.5mm) jack inputs for connecting any instrument or microphone. Features a MFi Certified Lightning Output Connector allowing you to attach an XLR microphone or 6.3mm guitar directly to your lighting connected iOS device. Provides 48V phantom power for microphones, and includes a 3.5mm headphone output for real-time sound monitoring. The two gain control thumbwheels make it easy to set precise levels. Toggle between Mono and Stereo output modes as necessary. Powered by one 9V battery.

I think it's probably the most complete product on the market, featuring every kind of input for microphones (XLRs, 3.5mm jack, 6mm jack) and can mount up to 6 sources! But the most amazing feature is the possibility to independently control the L and R channels and utilize it as a mixer. In this way you can have 2 mics connected and balance each one with it's own level to create a perfect stereo audio. Another cool feature is it works with either SLR cameras and phones/tablets; there's a switch you just have to toggle to enable TRS or TRRS output to your device and you're good to go! The only "negative" side of this product is the size; it's probably a bit too big (although very light) but it's not intended for VLOGging purposes so I guess this is not a problem.

For $100 this surprised me and frustrated me so I sent it back. **Q: Hey, im looking to post more content on tiktok. is this device compatible with tiktok?** A: It's compatible with tiktok to record. If tiktok support real-time monitoring, it will be better to use with SmartRig II together. **Q: Will background tracks in garageband come through the smartrig headphone jack while recording into a microphone connected to the xlr input?** A: Hi, the headphone jack can monitor when the app you used support monitoring. It doesn't depend on the microphone you use, it depends on the app you used to record. **Q: So with a 3.5 mm adapter will it work on Androids or other video cameras with 3.5 mm jacks? I am new to this stuff, so thanks for your patience. :)** A: Yes, it will work that way. But we have another mixer that directly works with 3.5mm mic jack devices.

The saramonic is all you need! It uses a 9volt battery to give phantom power to XLR microphones ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent, but very difficult to use with a line level input *by R***R on March 25, 2026* It’s OK, not great but then again it’s not $400! It could definitely use a DC power jack, and a mic/line switch. Ok, the circuitry would cost another three dollars to make but they could charge an extra $25. And it would be worth it for both sides.
