Hornet - Songkey Mk4

The problem: Recording interviews in a coffee shop with two mics into an iPad or Android phone usually requires complicated dongles. The MK4 solution: Plug the MK4 into your iPad via USB-C. Connect two dynamic mics (using the preamps, which offer up to 60dB of gain—enough for quiet mics). Record directly into GarageBand or Ferrite. The noise gate will clean up the ambient coffee grinders.

Focus: Visuals and quick results.
