Connect Your Mic
EZ Voice lets you connect a range of different types of microphones.

Using EZ Voice with iRig Voice, iRig Mic, iRig Mic Cast or Earbuds

1. Download EZ Voice from the Google Play Store, and install it on your device.

Using EZ Voice with iRig PRE

WARNING: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used
at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your device volume to a
safe level before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume or discontinue use of earbuds or headphones with your device.
