With the iRig series, IK Multimedia relies on the audio interface for PC, cameras, and mobile devices that offer you the most important features for mobile recording and content creation when recording on the go. The concept seems to be successful, with iRig Pro Quattro I/O the series goes into the next round. There is also a Deluxe version that additionally comes with XY condenser microphones, windscreen, and transport bag. Content creators can get started right away.
iRig Pro Quattro is designed for field recording and content creation and wants to guarantee you all the necessary features for good sound and flexibility. Instead, you’ll find four XLR/Kline combo inputs with low-noise microphone preamps, two of which are suitable for microphone or instrument signals, and the other two are suitable for microphone and line signals. There is also a stereo cinch input and an input for a 3.5 mm stereo jack. Alternatively, you can also record using the integrated MEMS microphone.
Two XLR connections are available as outputs, which are accompanied by a 3.5 mm stereo jack output and a headphone output.
If you need MIDI, you will find both an input and output for it – both connections are designed in jack format. That shouldn’t be surprising for such a compact interface. A cool thing that MIDI is on here.
The converters work with 24 bits, and up to 96 kHz, an integrated limiter on the first two inputs protects against clipping. If you’re recording in stereo or mono, inputs 3 and 4 can function as safety channels. It means that the same recording is happening here, but with a level reduced by 12 dB. So you are armed against all surprises.
iRig Pro Quattro I/O audio interface for PC, cameras, and mobile devices, is also compatible with iPhones, iPad, Android, and Mac. It can also be used as a standalone device with DSLR cameras and serve as a microphone preamplifier or line mixer with integrated limiter and direct monitoring.
In addition to the MIDI interface, the scope of delivery includes a mount with UNC camera thread, a Lightning to mini-DIN cable, a USB-A to mini-DIN cable, a MIDI adapter, and four AA batteries. The Deluxe version also includes two iRig MIC XY stereo microphones, a suitable windscreen, a carrying case, and a 9V power supply.
