A lot of people (Stephen included) have been known to rely on IK Multimedia's iRig Pre when they're on the road but what is the TECHNICAL capability of it anyway? In this on-the-road video Stephen takes a notorious gain-hog (the Shure SM7B) for a spin to see if the iRig Pre can drive it. Plus as part of the test, Stephen checks out if you can use a Zoom H1 to record the Shure SM7B.
