Hey Foster. I would imagine that the structure of the iRig explains that "re piss" (as we say say in France) : one plug for recording and monitoring, then to close. But you mic, well... dis you plug it with and USB/dock adapter ?

That's great news. We got the impression it wasn't compatible. We'll add it to our list for sure.

So you don't need a hub with the icicle?

Our testing has found that the iRig and other guitar input devices which use the headphone input are not very good in terms of sound quality. The USB or 30-pin connector interfaces are much better (less crosstalk and noise).

I have a hub I got off eBay for $15 now they sell for around $8. "3 Ports USB HUB & 5 In 1 Camera Connection Kit Card Reader"

It plugs right into the 30 pin dock connector so there is no need for the apple cck. While using the blue icicle when I am using non phantom powered mics, giuitars, mixing boards or anything I can plug into the xlr it does not need to be powered up. The iPad powers it for me. When I use a phantom powered mic I have to plug in the hub.

So in short you do need a hub, but no cck. A 30pin hub.

Would be interesting to test the icicle with just a standard Apple camera connection kit and no hub.

I have the cck and it doesnt work.It says this accessory takes to much power. Not sure why it works with the non apple USB hub. If I get a chance I'll do a video of everything for you.

Merci mates. Rim, will the Line6 Mobile IN fit with Auria ?

Or, more simply, may I use a jack/usb cable plugged in the USB con?

Yes, the mobile in will work. You may want to check out the interfaces thread that's at the top of our forum. This is where users have been talking about which interfaces work, and which ones don't work.

Thanks,
Rim

i am assuming this is the problem i was having. with the meteor mic i found that if i used the ipad headphone jack i did not have the problem, but if i used the headphone jack on meteor mic i did have the problem. i returned it anyways because my fiance convinced me i have too many mics as it is.
