If you do a lot of live recording, you're probably looking for a way to eliminate the amount of time spent transferring music from your recording devices to your editing devices and more time well...editing. Or listening again. Or maybe both. In any case, if you're the proud owner of a USB recording device (including an iPod) and you want to ditch your DAT or MiniDisc for instantaneous USB transfer, the iKey might be for you. Sporting RCA inputs, Phantom power for microphones (although, strangely enough, only a 1/8" jack for microphone input) and a phono preamp, plus the USB output to send to the recorder.
