“In the ‘take no prisoners’ world of open mics, songwriter rounds and blazing fast stage turnovers you’d best be prepared to hand the sound tech one single input that’s 'good to go'...IK Multimedia’s update to their iRig Acoustic appears to be a really good way to achieve that processed sound and stay on a budget. Once calibrated, my Taylor dreadnaught sounded much fuller and smoother; a far better tone for live use and one I could now use in-studio."

Here are some quotes from the review of iRig Acoustic Stage from Performer:

“In the ‘take no prisoners’ world of open mics, songwriter rounds and blazing fast stage turnovers you’d best be prepared to hand the sound tech one single input that’s 'good to go' (with a little signal processing beyond an instrument’s raw sound) if you expect to get a good mix going in your one song (or micro set)...at an affordable $99 you get a whole lot of useful technology that can seriously simplify acoustic amplification for studio or stage."

“There’s one feature that seals the deal…a panic button, or should I say a feedback cancellation feature. This large button is easy to find, feel and push when that hellish moment of squealing/howling is suddenly encountered.”

“Once calibrated, my Taylor dreadnaught sounded much fuller and smoother; a far better tone for live use and one I could now use in-studio.”

“A very useful live-sound device, but there are studio-centric features as well...like the class-compliant (as in plug ’n play simplicity) USB connection for self-recording. There are even modeling apps available from IK Multimedia online that further the flexibility and creative voicings.”

"...easy to use; affordable; great feedback suppression; responsive calibration options.”
