The International Consumer Electronics Show kicks off Tuesday in Las Vegas, where a gaggle of new technology products have already been unleashed over the weekend. Computer music technology firm IK Multimedia decided to save their announcements for opening day, with a volley of iOS accessory hardware for DJs and musicians alike.

IK Multimedia is announcing four new products at CES 2012 this year: Three hardware accessories for iOS devices and a new mobile DJ Rig app for the iPhone, all of which will be available soon.

First up is the iRig MIX, a $99.99 mobile mixer for the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad for DJ’ing from anywhere, anytime. Just like a pro DJ mixer, the iRig MIX includes hardware-based crossfader, cues, EQ and volume controls. Mix and match between an iPhone and an iPad, or use a single iOS device with the audio split into dual-mono mode. Best of all, the iRig MIX can be used with any audio source -- it’s not limited to iOS devices, so it can be used with any MP3 player, CD players or other source. The free DJ Rig app is included with iRig MIX, which allows automatic tempo matching and beat-syncing with an iOS device. iRig MIX will be available in February, with preorders now being taken from the IK Multimedia website.

Speaking of DJ Rig, the pro-quality DJ mixing app will also be available on its own from the App Store in both a free and $9.99 paid version for the iPhone and iPod touch (a universal iPad app will be released soon). With direct access to your Music library and playlists, DJ Rig offers drag and zoom of waveform display, deck controls, automatic looping and pro features like an effects deck, on-the-fly sampler with four banks of nine pads, accurate scratching engine modeled on real deck behavior and multiple output configurations to work with any kind of audio setup.

CES 2012 isn’t all about DJ’ing for IK Multimedia -- the company is also introducing the iRig MIC Cast, an ultra-compact hardware dongle for all iOS devices that’s perfect for recording podcasts, interviews, lectures, voice memos, speeches and more. Priced at $39.99, the iRig MIC Cast features a stereo mini-jack headphone output for real-time monitoring via headphones or speakers, a mini-switch with sensitivity settings for close or distant sources and an adjustable desktop stand to keep your iOS device upright while recording. The iRig MIC Cast will be available in the first quarter of the year from electronic and music retails worldwide.

Last but not least, IK has something in store for guitarists as well with the iRig STOMP, the world’s first live performance stompbox guitar interface for iOS. Now, guitar players and bass players alike can integrate their favorite iOS signal processing apps into their existing live pedalboard setup for enhanced tone shaping and effects processing. Based on the company’s wildly popular AmpliTube iRig interface, the STOMP works with any iOS guitar/amp/instrument app and is compact and durable. Look for it early in the second quarter of this year for only $59.99.
