How to Get High Quality Audio into Clubhouse via External Mic.

The Why and the How...

Welcome to the “how to get external audio into clubhouse” part one…we will start with the phone! This is Dr. Owen Muir, welcome to my Audio Operating Room.

Let’s imagine you want to use a microphone other than what is in the phone Well if you have an iPhone. Why do this? It will sound better! The following walks us through the steps to use one external mic, the iRig MicCast2.

The first think to understand: the clubhouse app is not written to support class compliant lighting or usb interface. So the problem with all interfaces that generally work with other apps like the iRig Pro or any class-compliant USB interface into the iPad won’t work properly once the user is a speaker on stage. More than one speaker on stage + class compliant usb interface = doesn’t work.

Thus the solution: using the iRig modules that support analog input that then gets into the iPhone via an adapter for the lightning port.
