iKlip iPad Microphone Stand Could Kill Sheet Music

If there's a need, someone will solve it. Apple's iPad has created an entirely new realm of accessories, wild ones that never existed before this tablet came to market. The iKlip is a perfect example of this. It's a device used for connecting your iPad to a microphone stand. Who would've ever thought that a tablet could be used to display sheet music just a few years ago. Now, it's expected, and it's not that outrageous.


IK Multimedia has created the iKlip in order to help musicians and singers keep a close eye on music or lyrics. It's built tough in Italy, and has a multi-angle, adjustable design allows for optimal viewing and access to all the iPad's controls, buttons and connection ports. It supports landscape and portrait orientation, and honestly, we could see this being scooped up by quite a few schools, churches and concert venues.
