Packing three vital accessories into one box for the modern guitarist and home recordist, the TONEX Capture from IK Multimedia is an efficient, all-in-one companion for guitarists seeking an accessible way to capture their real amp's tone perfectly, with or without microphones. Ideal for capturing tone models, the TONEX Capture is also an excellent tool for reamplification, featuring multiple inputs and outputs for different signal levels, advanced AI machine modeling, and ultra-quiet, hum-free output thanks to its ground-lift switches and galvanic isolation.

The TONEX Capture lets you record your rig any way you want with the ability to feed signals directly to your amp and pedals, or use your audio interface for a number of different configurations and signal paths for cabs, amps, or pure AI modeling. Two separate gain stages are included for adjusting levels to and from your amp and the Capture comes equipped with TONEX SE, giving you hundreds of premium tone model presets and access to thousands more via the ToneNET service.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How do you recommend attaching this to a rig? Is gaff tape the only solution or do you just let it hang?

A: Honestly, i just use a piece of leather to keep it up.

Q: 2. Will this plug directly into a wireless TX like the Sennheiser 100g3?

A: The IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage may be connected to a Sennheiser SK100G3 transmitter. It must be done with a special instrument cable; B&H# SECI1R.

Q: 3. Will this work to send audio to an iPhone 12 via an XLR output from a Shure wireless mic?

A: Yes, the IK Multimedia iRig Pre HD Audio Interface with Mic Pre is a great solution for sending audio into an iPhone from a Mic level XLR audio source such as a Shure wireless receiver.

Q: 4. Is the sound quality good with DSLRs ? I'd like to use this with running and gunning on-the-go with a shotgun mic and not have to sync audio in post. Thanks, Ef

A: The audio recorded by virtually any DSLR's built-in microphone is mediocre at best. The iRig Pre Microphone Interface is not designed to connect to cameras as it is intended for use with iOS devices like the iPhone or iPad. Consider a Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # SHVP83 which requires no adapters. It is a plug and play mic. An XLR shotgun powered by a battery will offer even better performance but will require a cable and an adapter. Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # RONTG2K2 (B&H Kit)

Q: 5. Will this device work when paired with an Apple lightning converter for use on an iPhone 7?

A: Yes, the iRig PRE will work with the iPhone 7 using the included Apple 3.5mm (TRRS) to Lightning adapter.

Q: 6. Can this accept mic level signals on XLR inputs 1&2? I want to use this on my mixer end for two mic signals to line level inputs

A: No. The ART Dual RDB Dual Re-Amping Direct Box accepts line level input only, as it does not include any mic preamps. The Dual RDB outputs mic level or instrument level audio signal. You could use a device like the Rolls MX310 MorMics 3-Channel Mic Mixer/Combiner (B&H # ROMX310), which will allow you to connect up to three XLR microphones and it has a single XLR output that is switchable for mic level or line level output.

Q: 7. our church switched from an analog mixing board to a digital signal processing unit... can i take the sound out of that unit and go into this irig and then to an ipad/?? in other words is this digital or analog?

A: This is a digital audio interface any signal which should work with your sound board as long as you have a Mono XLR output. I would suggest the iRig Stream for this kind of use. Use the RCA out on your board directly to your iOS, Mac/PC, or Android for video streaming or recording. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1523177-REG/ik_multimedia_ip_irig_stream_in_irig_stream.html

Q: 8. If I were to use this device with an android phone, would I be able to monitor the audio quality using headphones while recording?

A: Only if the app you're using to record supports monitoring while recording. The output is not direct monitoring, it's acting as the headphone output of your phone.

Q: 9. Can I run a feed to this device from my mixer?

A: yes you can. Just make shure that the lne comes from a tape out/phones output (low power) otherwise you could overfeed the irig pre ( too much power ) i learned this by blowing one using the main line out mix from a makie deck

Q: 10. Does this come with the cabling to go out to an iPad? Lightning to Lightning?

A: Yes, the iRig Pre HD comes with two cables -- a Lightning to micro-USB cable and a USB to micro-USB cable. The host connector on the iRig is micro-USB. If your iPad uses a Lightning connector, then the Lightning to micro-USB cable is the one to use. If your iPad uses a USB-C connector, use the USB to micro-USB cable together with a Pearstone USB 3.0 Type-C to USB Type-A Adapter (B&H # PEUSB33CA06) or similar USB-C adapter.
