Direct monitoring
When recording an audio signal into your audio software, there is often a slight delay before it reaches the
outputs of the software and iRig Pre 2. This delay, called latency, is caused by the computer processing required
to convert and record audio. Since this delay can be distracting, iRig Pre 2 provides a direct monitoring path
from the input to the output, which is activated by the Direct Monitor switch. When Direct Monitoring is enabled,
the input signal is mixed with the output signal from your audio software and routed directly to the Headphone
output. This lets you hear the “live” inputs without latency. The Direct Monitor switch has no effect on what is
being recorded by your software. When using the Direct Monitor feature, make sure any software monitoring
option for direct (or “low latency”) monitoring is disabled. Disabling low latency monitoring prevents “double-
monitoring” of input audio signals when using the Direct Monitoring feature. When “double-monitoring” occurs,
there will be an increase in volume and an undesirable “phasing” sound. For more details about its monitoring
function, refer to the documentation for your audio software.
Stand adapter
You can fix iRig Pre 2 to any microphone stand or pole via the included velcro strip.
