Mono, Stereo or Multichannel?

iRig Pro Quattro does all 3 at the flip of a switch. Stereo and Mono modes pre-mix up to 4 audio sources (RCA / 3.5 mm stereo line inputs (+ Loopback), XLR combo inputs and MEMS microphone) down to a stereo or mono track, which can be sent to your choice of streaming apps, DSLR camera or sound system.

Switching to multichannel mode, the XLR mic/Hi-Z instrument and mic/line combo jacks or RCA / 3.5 mm stereo line inputs are routed to channels 1 to 4 respectively, giving you 4 channels of audio to send to recording apps such as GarageBand or any DAW.

Custom mics for deluxe results

iRig MIC XY stereo microphones are available separately or as part of the iRig Pro Quattro I/O Deluxe edition. These condenser mics use a cardioid polar pattern in an XY formation for trouble-free stereo sound recording. You can also position the capsules in divergent mode, which is ideal for taking interviews.

With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and dynamic range up 145 dB SPL, your field recordings will always be natural, immersive and protected by Quattro I/O’s safety channel feature.

 

Add effects with Loopback+

Multichannel mode offers another advantage. Loopback+ is a powerful new feature that lets you route either or both channels 3 and 4 to audio apps such as MixBox, AmpliTube or VocaLive for processing and then route their outputs through the Loopback feature and into channels 1+2 going to your streaming app.

Now you can actually use these apps on your iOS or Android device as a front-end processor for all streaming apps. It’s like using them as a plug-in for more creative and professional-sounding streams.
