GeekWire Deals: Capture better sound on your phone with these discounted mics
The video sensors on our phones have gotten really good in recent years, but audio still presents a problem. Wind or a hand brushing over a mic can ruin a shot, and the sound captured even in perfect conditions isn’t anything to write home about. But with today’s double GeekWire Deals offer, you can get better sound without adding too much bulk to your phone.
The iRig Mic Cast is perfect for recording just sound. It plugs into your 3.5mm headphone jack and can record to most programs. You can even choose between a close-up mode for those personal notes and a faraway recording option to capture lectures or band practice.
The iRig Mic Field is a little more powerful. While it’s limited to Apple devices with a Lightning port, it adds even higher-quality sound to your recordings, a great option for aspiring directors. With the Field, you can even rotate the mic for optimal sound capture in any orientation.
The Cast is just $ 27.99 from GeekWire Deals, 30 percent off the normal price, while the Field is $ 74.99, a 25 percent discount. If you’re looking for a way to improve the sound you capture on your phone, this is a stellar option at a great price.
