Mobile audio interface and mixer — iRig Pro Quattro I/O review

In this week’s episode, we take a look at the iRig Pro Quattro I/O from IK Multimedia. This compact audio interface and mixer has two XLR combo mic/instrument inputs and two XLR combo mic/line-in inputs equipped with phantom power, two 3.5mm RCA line-in inputs, two balanced XLR outputs, direct monitoring for the headphone output, and several recording modes and functions. This multifunctional device can be used for streaming, podcasting, and other applications of dialogue recording. In this video we walk through the Quattro’s feature set and compare it to similar sound recorders like the Zoom H8 and CEntrance Portcaster. Let’s take a closer look!
