IK Multimedia iRig Pro Quattro I/O Portable 4x2 Audio Interface/Mixer

The IK Multimedia iRig Pro Quattro I/O is a versatile audio/MIDI interface designed for content creators, live streaming, podcasting, and audio-for-video applications. It offers high-quality audio recording and flexible input/output options. Here are its key features:

High-quality audio recording: The iRig Pro Quattro I/O supports up to 24-bit / 96 kHz digital audio, ensuring clear and professional-grade sound for your recordings.

Four low-noise mic preamps: The interface features four balanced XLR mic preamps with full +48V phantom power, allowing you to connect and record with condenser microphones. These preamps deliver clean and transparent audio capture.

Input options: The iRig Pro Quattro I/O offers versatile input options, including two combo mic preamps/unbalanced Hi-Z instrument inputs with phantom power, and two combo mic preamps/balanced line-level inputs with phantom power. This allows you to connect a variety of microphones, instruments, or line-level sources.

Output options: The interface provides two balanced XLR line outputs, a 3.5mm stereo line output, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with independent volume control and direct monitoring. This allows you to monitor your audio and connect to various output devices.

Built-in omnidirectional microphone: The iRig Pro Quattro I/O includes a built-in omnidirectional microphone, providing a convenient option for capturing audio when working on the go.

MIDI I/O: The interface offers two 2.5mm MIDI input and output ports, allowing you to connect MIDI controllers, keyboards, or other MIDI devices.

Loopback mode: The iRig Pro Quattro I/O features a loopback function, enabling you to send the signal playing on your device back into the recording or streaming app being used. This allows for integrating video playback, web browser output, or other audio sources into your live stream, podcast, or video recording.

Standalone mixer: The interface can be used as a standalone preamp and mixer, making it suitable for capturing professional audio on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

Safety backup channels: In Stereo or Mono mode, channels 3 and 4 can be used as safety channels. They can receive the same signal as channels 1 and 2 but reduced by 12 dB, providing distortion-free backup in case the sound source unexpectedly becomes loud.

Compatibility and power options: The iRig Pro Quattro I/O is compatible with iOS and Android mobile devices, macOS and Windows computers, as well as DSLR/mirrorless cameras. It can be powered via USB, 4 AA batteries, or the included PSU adapter, which can also charge your iOS device.

Mounting options: The interface includes a built-in shoemount adapter for easy mounting on a camera, as well as a 1/4"-20 bottom thread for mounting on a camera tripod.

The iRig Pro Quattro I/O offers content creators a compact and feature-rich solution for high-quality audio recording, versatile connectivity, and flexible integration into various setups, whether on the go or in a studio environment.
