Can you use an iRig to connect a microphone?

Can you use an iRig to connect a microphone? Not really.

In this video, I answer a question I get a lot - can I connect a dynamic microphone to an iRig or guitar interface to record on my iPhone or iPad.

The short answer to this is "no", but it is technically possible, so in this video I show what happens when you do this, and why it is not a good idea.

Here's the deal - microphones need a preamp to get enough gain (volume) for a decent signal and a good quality recording. When you plug a microphone in to a standard instrument jack, the volume level is so low that in order to hear the recording, you need to turn the volume up, which introduces significant noise in to the recording.
