iConnectivity ConnectAUDIO2/4 2-in/4-out Audio/MIDI Interface

2x4 MIDI Audio Interface

The iConnectivity ConnectAUDIO2/4 is a highly versatile and compact MIDI audio interface boasting 2 XLR combo inputs and switchable Phantom Power. The ConnectAUDIO2/4 utilises a simple yet powerful design with exceptional audio fidelity thanks to the studio-grade 24-bit/96kHz resolution. The built-in Phantom Power preamp is ideal for capturing studio-grade recordings with ease. Combined with the high-resolution audio, the ConnectAUDIO2/4 delivers immense detail, capturing every nuance of your source material as it was intended.

Versatile Connectivity

The two microphone preamplifiers are ideal for capturing high-quality recordings whether it be vocal or instrument recordings, using a condenser microphone. The high-resolution audio and premium-grade components ensure optimal audio fidelity every time. 2 ¼-inch TRS balanced analog outputs are also included for connecting the interface to external equipment such as mixer or speakers. The front-panel 1/4-inch headphone output is switchable between monitoring main outs and independent for added control. The 1x1 MIDI DIN I/O is ideal for connecting MIDI-based music equipment such as keyboards, synths, drum machines and more. The USB MIDI class compliant design is USB bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply.

Design & Included Software

The ConnectAUDIO2/4 Audio Interface features a capacitive touch display and control surface for all function including full metering. The front-panel of the interface features an LED metering panel with lights that indicate when all the major functions are in use, as well as a 7-segment, stereo metering column. The compact and portable design makes it ideal for musicians on the move, as well as being suited in any studio setting. The industrial-grade metal chassis is robust and sturdy, providing a sleek aesthetic that will suit any studio setting. Additionally, the interface comes complete with a copy of Ableton Live Lite software and a selection of loops and samples from Big Fish Audio, once you have registered the device.
