Ultracompact Form, Titanic Function

Toss the IK Multimedia iRig HD X audio interface in your pocket or gig bag, and hit the studio or stage kitted out with hyper-realistic emulations of iconic amp models and effects. Connect the iRig to a mobile device or laptop, and record 24-bit/96kHz audio with its Hi-Z input and noiseless preamp; pull up TONEX or AmpliTube as plug-ins in your favorite DAW, or run them as standalone apps routed to your recording software via Loopback+. A dedicated 1/4 amp output offers connection to external amplifiers, pedalboards or FRFR speakers for direct integration into an existing live rig. It’s also easy to take matters into your own hands with the iRig HD X’s multifunction control knob—sporting an LED ring indicator, it provides fast and precise parameter adjustment, and even doubles as a tuner for the connected guitar or bass.    

Discover Your Tone

The IK Multimedia iRig interface equips guitarists and bassists with two powerful means of generating sound: TONEX and AmpliTube 5. TONEX relies on AI Machine Modeling technology to emulate amps, cabinets, combos and pedals—users can access 200 Premium Tone Models from IK Multimedia, in addition to unlimited community presets from ToneNET. The expansive AmpliTube 5 app is a lauded simulator allowing guitar and bass players to build virtual rigs from the bottom up. Included with the iRig HD X is AmpliTube 5 SE, featuring 80 models of “must-have” amps, pedals, cabinets, microphones and studio rack gear. Whichever path you choose, the iRig HD X contains a multitude of tonal possibilities to help you build the ultimate virtual rig for writing, recording, jamming or playing live.
