IK Multimedia’s Axe I/O One is a cost-effective solution for recording your axe at home! It works as a 24-bit/192 kHz audio interface, specifically designed to shape the tone of your guitar or bass, with the Z-Tone instrument input, allowing you to customise with an active or passive pickup sound, or change the input tone from tighter and sharper, to thicker and bolder, to record into your favourite DAW software.
IK have included AmpliTube 5 and ToneX software downloads for further processing and shaping of your sound, giving you a perfect platform for tracking your guitars over your band recordings.
The Axe I/O One features a microphone preamp with phantom power for recording vocals with your favourite condenser microphone, the instrument input with the Z-Tone processing mentioned above, balanced stereo outs for your active monitors (plus a headphone out for quiet recording), two pedal switch inputs for controlling volume, wah, and other software effects, and MIDI IN/OUT jacks for accessing your software with foot controllers or playing devices with MIDI DAW control.
There’s also an AMP Out for connecting your guitar amp, or for reamping your ‘dry’ recorded guitar tracks!
IK’s Axe I/O One – everything you need to record quality tracks at home (apart from a guitar and some talent)!
Your iPhone and iPad have access to some absolutely amazing synth apps, both FREE and paid, but playing and monitoring them is limited to touching the screen and plugging in headphones.

We’ve been receiving a lot of enquiries from customers about their condenser microphones getting muffly or distorted, or making humming noises after four or five years of use, and in most cases this is because of environmental conditions polluting the capsule: too much moisture, sea air, smoke, etc.
The main trick is how you store it when you’re not using it!
How should I store my microphone?
We generally recommend keeping your microphone in its case or original packaging when it is not in use for more than a few hours. If your studio is very clean and safe, it could be OK to leave out on its mic stand when not in use, but if a mic is out of its case, it could potentially be exposed to dust, smoke, moisture, or humidity – which can damage the sensitive parts of the mic – so we recommend avoiding those things at all cost.
How do I clean a microphone that has been effected by spillage and dirt?
If your microphone has come in contact with dirt or another removable substance, we recommend cleaning it with a very soft, slightly damp cotton cloth. Do not open the microphone up to clean the inside, and make sure you NEVER touch the capsule itself. Cleaning a capsule should only be done by highly trained professionals in a “clean room” environment. If you suspect your capsule needs to be cleaned, please contact info@sound-music.com so we can recommend an authorised local technician.

Renowned funk and soul pedal steel virtuoso uses iRig Pro Duo I/O to record the National Anthem.
Renowned American funk and soul pedal steel virtuoso, vocalist and composer, Robert Randolph recorded the national anthem on his iRig Pro Duo I/O for a recent NASCAR event. Considered the best pedal steel guitarist in the world, Robert plays in a way never done before, streaming with perfect audio quality to everyone at the race track.
Robert started with IK Multimedia in our early days with AmpliTube and the original iRig. We are proud and honored to have him in the IK family of artists. He talks about the experience saying,
“The iRig Pro Duo I/O helped a lot because it allowed me to get a great tone. I was able to balance how much direct tone from my Peavey Invective amp, using the direct out on the back of it, and plugging that into one channel of iRig Pro Duo I/O and the live room sound by positioning my LEWITT handheld MTP 550 microphone and plugging that into the other channel of the iRig.”
Robert told us,
“The NASCAR folks reached out to me. They wanted to get some newer artists to expand their roster. They decided that they wanted more rock and blues artists especially given that they have stepped up to become more diverse and wanted to expand their audience and have a greater reach.”
“NASCAR requested a horizontal orientation video so that is exactly what I sent. I recorded it live on my iPhone. Without the iRig there is no way the audio would have sounded this good. The iRig made it so easy to blend the amp and room sound.”
The iRig Pro Duo I/O is a great device; you can figure out how much gain you need, it comes with all the cables you need, it is very easy to use, just plug it in and you are ready to go!
