ICON Duo44 Live Overview
The Icon Duo44 Live is a 4×4 USB audio/MIDI interface with two mic/instrument inputs, analog and digital smartphone I/O, and MIDI 5-pin I/O that provides versatile livestreaming and recording options. The bus-powered Usb Audio Interface Duo44 Live is robust, sonically strong, and convenient with its 24-bit / 192 kHz high-resolution AD/DA converters and sturdy aluminum design.
Connect your mobile device to a Mac or Windows computer simultaneously using the USB Type-B port and the USB Type-C and 3.5mm TRRS interfaces. Process audio on the computer before sending it to your mobile device. The XLR-1/4″ combo jacks are perfect for recording dynamic/condenser mics, electric guitar or bass, and other instruments without the need for an amplifier because they can handle balanced or unbalanced Hi-Z sources and provide switchable 48V phantom power.
For the best possible connection to active monitors and headphones, there are separate volume controls for the 1/4″ line and headphone outputs. A sizable dial on the top panel lets you customize the monitoring source to be either the computer return, the direct hardware inputs, or a combination of the two. To get you started, the Duo44 Live comes with a USB cable and a 3.5mm TRS audio cable.
