IK Multimedia iRig Stream | Streaming audio interface for iPhone, iPad and Mac/PC

Getting music from a turntable to play back through Apple HomePods is quite a challenge if you don’t want to involve a Mac of some kind. How many Airplay 2 TRANSMITTERS (not receivers) can you find? Exactly. If you exclude Apple products, you might have an easier time with finding Hen’s teeth. And the WiiM which used to do this no longer does, to my intense frustration. 🤦‍♂️ Enter the IRig … Connections are (in my case, at least), Turntable > Phono pre amp > Irig > iPod 7th Gen running the AirChord 2 app (this app, or something similar, is essential) > Apple TV via Airplay 2 > Homepod stereo pair and … boom. A. It works. 🥳 B. It works reliably, so I don’t have to spend half an hour faffing with reboots and reconnections every time I want to play a record 🥳🥳 C. It sounds pretty good too. 🥳🥳🥳 Significantly better than I expected, TBH. It’s clearly not a state-of-the art solution by any measure. When high-end analogue phono pre amps can cost £10k upwards, what can you realistically expect for a bit less than £100? But it’s a solution that sounds surprisingly decent IMHO. Highly recommended.😁 👍🏻

My picture isn't very glamourous and you have to look hard ot see the Irig Stream on the right of the desk. I used this product along with Streamyard software on a Windows 11 laptop. I was able to find the audio in Streamyard easily after pressing play the stream was picked up fine. I picked this model as it has a control and indicator lights for the output which came in handy. I've made my first live stream to You Tube set to private but now public as I'm happpy with the result. This gadget is a little pricy but worth it. Oh yes, I ordered this on recomendation from the global DJ network having run into problems recording my PA system live set with audio distortion. This has now given me a new way to create live sets. I'm pleased with the product. I just plugged it in to my laptop using the supplied USB C cable and it powered up.

Works great my wife used it within an hour of receiving it. Very fast delivery.

This works great. Easy to set up. All that you need to stream live in stereo with decent sounding audio. I use it for both DJing live sets on TikTok and recording production content.

It’s a very good interface device for streaming through your mobile phone , my only criticisms are the din jack would be more ideally replaced with either a stereo normal jack or twin rca output jacks and despite having a lead in the box for Android users I found before switching to iPhone that it was incompatible. Also it’s supporting iRig App crashes on Android but by opening the iRig app on my iPhone whilst connected to the iRig Stream the device works with absolutely no problems and the sound is very impressive, so my advice if you’re having problems using it on your Android phone, switch to iPhone .

This device is fantastic if you’re a buddy DJ and producer. Allows you to mix other instruments into your mixes whilst recording them to your phone/ipad. The app is iffy though so would recommend using with IMPC pro 2 or voice notes

I purchased this so i could make recordings directly from my pioneer mixer to my iPhone, the input cables work for around 20 seconds and then the recording stops. 90% of the time it doesn't even start to work so you end up having to close the app, unplug cables and try again. Its the most frustrating and useless piece of kit to record things on your iPhone. If you do get it to record you then have to pay an additional fee to export the file!!! Then there are other additional fees if you want to crop the recording or change any levels. I've read some reviews that to stop this from happening you need to buy a mains power adaptor (which i did at the cost of another £40). Ive spent over £160 altogether on this set up and it just doesnt work...steer clear and DO NOT BUY!!!

Doesn’t come with a power adapter so still waiting on one arriving before I can use it…. Disappointing
