Stereo audio interface for streaming and recording

The IK Multimedia iRig Stream is a 24-bit, 96 kHz stereo audio interface with 7.1 channel support. It connects mixers, keyboards, audio players and other line-level sources via RCA inputs. The unit is designed for creators who need to capture or broadcast audio from external gear to iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC.

Check device ports and operating system

Your host device must provide a compatible USB, USB-C or Lightning connection for power and data. Confirm that your recording or streaming software can select an external USB audio device as its input. The interface draws power from the host, so no separate supply is required.

Adds RCA capture and direct monitoring to a mobile

The interface slots into a minimal rig by bridging analogue RCA sources to a digital workflow. Its headphone output enables zero-latency direct monitoring while you record or stream. Loopback routing lets you blend device audio with the external signal without extra cables or a hardware mixer.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the USB-C and Lightning cables needed to connect to a phone or computer, or must I buy them separately?

The product ships with the cables required for USB-C, Lightning and USB-A connections so you can plug straight into iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC without extra purchases.

Should I choose the 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample-rate setting for my stream?

Use 96 kHz for the highest fidelity capture when your recording software supports it; 48 kHz is the native rate for most streaming apps and saves processing power.

What does the 7.1 channel specification mean when I am only recording in stereo?

The 7.1 figure describes the device's audio chipset capability; the RCA inputs capture two channels, so your recording remains stereo while the hardware can handle surround playback if needed.
