Can this power my studio mic? Can I connect my iPad 4 to this with an adapter? Does it also serve as a digital interface to my MacBook through USB?

Yes, iS202 can power a studio microphone with 12v phantom power (48v is not supported)..No, you cannot connect the iPad 4 to iS202 with an adapter- there is no space for to place an adapter inside, so iS202 is compatible only with iPad 1, 2 and 3, which incorporate a 30-pin port,- the shape of the cradle cannot fit with iPad 4, which is thinner than iPad 2 And 3.Yes, you can synchronise the iPad with the computer via the USB port included on is202.

Don't know about macbook pro. But it does power your mike. It is for a Ipad

Got is202 early this year. It has switchable phantom power and works great with my studio condenser mics. I don't see why it wouldn't work with iPad 4 and other than the iPad might not fit properly in the device. It will not work as an interface for the computer through USB but if you use garage band on iPad to record you can transfer project and open it in GarageBand for Mac. I was also very impressed with the quality of recording I got from this product. Best thing though is that it's so easy and fast to set up so I've been doing a lot more recording.

I use my mic for my iPad specifically. I haven't plugged it into my computer yet. The mic turns on whenever you open a recording app. Like when I have it plugged in, I can open the video camera, voice memos, or even snapchat. It works with anything that uses the mic if that makes sense. The only complaint that I have for the mic is that you have to be very close in order to hear the sound when you're done recording, but overall an awesome mic! (:

That should work fine. I use mine to connect a Presonus 16.4.2 mixer to the iPad so I can view a solo'd channel in Studio Six's Audiotools. No reason that shouldn't work for Garage Band as well.

This device is designed to work with iPhones, iPods and iPads, not Macbooks. If you have a newer Macbook, the difference in sound wouldn't be worthwhile anyway. The main upgrade this provides for an iDevice is the amp. Newer Macbooks already have fairly decent internal DACs and amps. It's unlikely you would consider the sound from this an improvement over the direct output from a newer Macbook.

It also sends data to the Pc or Mac. Do not use a mixer with this device as it has a built in pre-amp. You should also not plug main outs into the mic inputs from a powered source such as a keyboard as this can damage the built in pre-amp. I found out the hard way and now have an expensive paper weight.

The mic has a standard USB connector. If a mini doesn't have a standard connector, you'd need an adaptor. Not sure about ipad software drivers . . .

For vocals this mic is good. Not sure if this mic (or what type) is best to capture piano, but it can do that too. You would need an audio interface to go between the mic and the macbook, and a mic cable to connect to the audio interface. The audio interface needs to have one input that can provide 48V(phantom power) to the mic as well. Most audio interfaces have this though.

Yes, however, the problem with mac computers is you need an adapter for your mic to be powered. So without that adapter you will likely only be able to get sound from the headphones. If you do not want to buy an adapter best to buy an USB headset.

DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT!!!GEMINI OR GEMSOUND MAKE DECENT ENTRY LEVEL MIC'S. There are specific mic's or adapters for ipads and tvs. Just look on amazon.

You can use it in the laptop port, is very versatile. No batteries required for use. Only if you need phantom power to a dynamic mic. It is small and turns your ipad into a portable studio.

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

When used with its external power source it will charge any device that is USB-charge ready. I am not sure what you mean by "audio interface" but if you mean playing the ipad through the computer while charging, that should also work just fine.

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface

Yes you can. On the right side in the microphone there's a place for a little USB port to go in. Plug in a mini USB port into there and then at the end on the USB port you can just plug that in to your iPads charger brick and insert that into an outlet and it should charge and use the microphone at the same time

You may be able to use the Apple camera connection kit to extract digital audio from Apple IOS devices, however the Nuforce icon IDO, is going for $100 bucks right now and it is designed specifically for IOS devices. The IDO is also a great headphone amp and has analog outputs to send audio to your amp, so you can listen to it through the speakers. I own both devices and you can't go wrong with either one. Both offer great quality for the buck and if you've never used an external DAC for music listening, your in for a real treat. Best of luck.

No, the mini has a lightning connector and the iRig is a 30 pin connector. What you could do is get a 30 pin to Lightning adaptor/cable. I actually use 2 Cable Jive extension cables to run between my iPad (1st gen) on the mic stand and the iRig, which I locate on my bass amp. This keeps the iRig in a safe place. The point is that the iRig works fine with a cable between it and the iPad, and I think a converter cable would also work for you.

I bought this unit to power my Blue Bird mic with my camcorder for which it worked quite well. I see no reason that it wouldn't work with a PC. There are more "elegant" solutions, though -- eg Blue's Icicle which powers the mic and goes through the USB. Behringer is the cheaper solution and is a good answer. Good luck.
