Max,
I connected the iRig Pre to some of my small audio recorders (M10, LS5, Rol=
and R05, Zoom H1 etc) feeding a single AT 3032 Ph 48v with very good result=
s. I am very pleased with this small microphone preamplifier iRig Pre sugge=
sted me by Gianni Pavan. In order to use the iRig Pre on a device other tha=
n a  IOs system (iPhone, etc.), for which it was designed, just plug in a 3=
.5mm "four pins" jack (the same of an IPhone headphones cable) to the IRig =
Pre headphones OUT and a pair of headphones 3,5 Jack connected to a 10 cm c=
able "FEL Socket Saver, stereo" sold by FelMicAmp. Only in this way I'm abl=
e to obtain at the same time to record and monitor the recording with a dev=
ice different from IPhone system.
Max, once you have made or found a cable that enables to connect the iRig P=
re with an audio recorder in an easier way than mine, I would be grateful i=
f you would inform us.
Thanks!
