IK Multimedia has released iRig Pro Quattro I/O, a professional-quality 4-input / 2-output field recording audio and MIDI interface with up to 24-bit, 96kHz conversion and a MEMS mic onboard for instant recording. A deluxe bundle is also available with custom XY stereo mic capsules and complete accessories.
The iRig Pro Quattro I/O offers 4 high-quality, low-noise mic preamps with phantom power; Hi-Z and line-level instrument, RCA and TRS inputs; plus XLR balanced, 3.5 mm stereo and headphone outputs; and full MIDI I/O.
Field Recording Interface or Standalone Mixer
iRig Pro Quattro I/O turns any mobile device or Mac/PC laptop into a full-featured, professional field recorder. It also works as a standalone preamp and mixer powered via 4x AA batteries, USB or DC IN. All inputs/outputs can be used to capture and mix multiple sources to DSLR cameras or send their mix to a PA system with professional quality.
Broadcast / Podcast Interface
Stereo and Mono modes pre-mix up to 4 audio sources down to a stereo or mono track, which can be sent to streaming apps, DSLR cameras or sound systems. In Multichannel mode, all inputs are routed to channels 1 to 4 respectively sending 4 channels of audio to recording apps such as GarageBand or any DAW.
Always Perfect Recordings
A built-in limiter keeps sound levels optimal and avoids clipping on inputs 1 and 2. In Stereo and Mono mode, inputs 3 and 4 can be used as safety channels: recording the same signal as input 1 and 2, but reduced by 12 dB as a backup in case the sound source unexpectedly overloads the main channels.
Streaming with Effects
iRig Pro Quattro I/O includes Loopback+, a powerful feature that lets users select either or both channels 3 and 4 to route microphones or line-level signals to audio apps such as MixBox, AmpliTube or VocaLive for processing and then route their outputs through the Loopback feature and into channels 1 and 2 going to their streaming app.
Software and Apps In-the-box
iRig Pro Quattro I/O comes complete with $/€450 of software for Mac/PC plus over $/€100 of audio production apps for iOS.
Due to the included software bundle, the product is non-returnable.
