Icon Pro Audio Duo44 Live 4x4 Livestream USB Audio/MIDI Interface
Icon Pro Audio ICOA-DUO44LIVE Overview
The Icon Pro Audio Duo44 Live is a 4x4 USB audio/MIDI interface offering flexible livestreaming and recording capabilities via its two mic/instrument inputs, analog and digital smartphone I/O, and MIDI 5-pin I/O. The bus-powered Duo44 Live features durable aluminum construction and 24-bit / 192 kHz high-resolution AD/DA converters, making it sturdy, sonically solid, and convenient.
Utilize the USB Type-C and 3.5mm TRRS ports to simultaneously connect your mobile device and a Mac/Windows computer (via the USB Type-B port) and process audio through the computer before it goes to your mobile device. The XLR-1/4" combo jacks provide switchable 48V phantom power and accept balanced microphones or unbalanced Hi-Z sources, making them ideal for recording dynamic/condenser mics as well as electric guitar or bass without an amplifier.
The 1/4" line and headphone outputs have independent volume controls for optimally connecting to active monitors and headphones. The top panel sports a large dial that allows you to set the monitoring source to the direct hardware inputs, the computer return, or a custom blend of both. The Duo44 Live is supplied with a USB cable and a 3.5mm TRS audio cable to get you started.
