    Cannot use native device speakers
    • Written by BD from Glen Mills
    • Dec 30, 2011

    My wife bought this microphone for Xmas for my daughters for karaoke. Unfortunately, this microphone plugs into the headphone jack, and the iPad internal speakers then become disabled. The only way to produce sound is to plug in headphones or external speakers.

    I will return this product and purchase instead the Disney Spotlight microphone (either wired or wireless), which plugs into the iPad charging port, and so the iPad internal speakers should still function with that microphone.     …More

    • Dec 15, 2011

    crummy Mic from my initial purchase impression. Mic is not working, there is no sound and I'm really annoyed that I just got all the way home after a long day and wanted to play with the new Mic. Contents of the box smelled like moth balls and the stupid thing isn't working. Horrible experience so far, I would suggest testing it in the store before walking out with it. …More

    We bought this for my daughter's birthday party, so she and her friends could use Karaoke apps on the ipad. It works great for this. They had a great time. It would be nice if the cord were a bit longer and if it could record in stereo, but for our daughter's uses, it works great. …More

    • Asked by AS from Manhattan Beach

    Answer

    It will, so long as your Mac is of a model produced in the last few years. Older macs do not support the 'headphones + mic' type of plug used on more recent Apple gear. The best way to find out if your particular Mic will work well with this is to check if the tech specs from your model include support for 'Apple headset with remote and mic'. All current generation Macs except for the Mac Pro, do include this feature. …More

    Yes. This iRig Mic will plug into the iPad and work with GarageBand for iPad. The iRig Mic will work with any app that will accept an audio input, for example, any karaoke app, iMovie, the iPhone video camera app, and more. The iRig plug adapter (guitar/bass) will also work with GarageBand, so you can record your instruments into that app as well. …More
