15. In addition to the standard headphones and XLR outputs, an 1/8” stereo line output jack is present. This
allows you to send the audio signal to a video camera or other device while monitoring with headphones.
You can lower the output level of this stereo line out jack with dedicated knob. Use this when the output
signal of the line out jack is input to the external mic input jack of a DSLR camera or another connector with
high input gain.
1.1 Mac/PC
On Windows based DAWs, IK Multimedia’s proprietary driver needs to be installed for latency control. Please visit
https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/ to download the driver.
1. Connect the included USB cable to iRig Pro Quattro I/O’s Mini-DIN connector.
2. Connect the USB cable to a free USB port on your Mac/PC.
3. Turn on the unit by sliding the power switch to the USB position.
4. Launch AmpliTube or any other Core Audio-compatible application and select “iRig Pro Quattro IO” as the
input/output device from your system’s audio preferences.
5. All the features described in the “Installation and setup” paragraph remain valid.
1.2 Standalone operations
It is also possible to use the iRig Pro Quattro I/O without any digital host connected: in this case it acts as a
standalone mixer/mic preamp device. Just power it up thru battery, external USB or PSU and use the full set of
inputs/outputs. This is the perfect setup for recording high-quality audio on any DSLR or camcorder.
Recording tip: You can reduce the output level of the line output jack with dedicated knob. Use this when the
output signal of the line out jack is input to the external mic input jack of a DSLR camera or another connector
with high input gain.
When in this operation state, the mode switch acts only to the analog outputs: in Multi and Stereo modes, inputs
1 and 3 are mixed into a single channel (output 1/L), as well as inputs 2 and 4 (output 2/R). When in stand-alone
mode, the safety channels are not available.
2 Setup your DAW
The iRig Pro Quattro I/O is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or any Mac-based
DAW that uses Core Audio.
It is possible that your DAW may not automatically select the iRig Pro Quattro I/O as its default I/O device. In
this case, you must manually select the iRig Pro Quattro I/O as the audio hardware on your DAW’s Audio Setup
page. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation (or Help files) if you are unsure where to select the ASIO/Core
Audio driver.
Once the iRig Pro Quattro I/O is set as the preferred Audio Device in your DAW, all 4 inputs and 2 outputs will
appear in your DAW’s Audio I/O preferences.
