Product information

General

The iConnectivity AUDIO4c gives you direct access to a world of connectivity so you can both streamline and professionalise your live-streams. This audio/MIDI interface is also great for (session) musicians and offers three different user-modes that each serve a specific purpose. Depending on your needs, you select one to quickly and effectively set everything up for streams or recordings. iConnectivity have fitted four jack/XLR combo inputs for plugging in jack leads, plus six analogue outputs, a USB-MIDI port and a DIN-MIDI interface for older synths and electric pianos. As a modern bit of kit befits, the AUDIO4c is compatible with modern platforms such as iOS and Android as well.

Stream-Ready & USB-C Ports

The fact that there's not one, but two USB-C ports on the AUDIO4c makes it pretty unique - and why not. TThe workflow of various connected instruments can be combined and, even if your computer isn't equipped with a USB-C port, you can use the included adapter cable to hook the interface up to older machines. Also, iOS users will be happy to learn they can even charge their mobile devices while it's plugged into the AUDIO4c, but keep in mind that this requires an Apple Lightning to USB camera adapter. If you're more of a live-streamer than a musician or producer, no worries - simply hit the 'Stream' button and you get direct access to all of the inputs and outputs! Oh, and while you're in Stream Mode, you're free to access the tablet or smartphone you've hooked up. Super-flexible!

iConnectivity AUDIO4c Audio and MIDI Interface

Hardware wise the audio4c is superb - being able to route audio and midi between *two* host devices and several input/outputs is so very, very useful.

*However* - the software support is shocking. The current suggested config application (Auracle) doesn't even have the full configuration functionality to manage the device.

The *old* deprecated iConfig application (downloaded directly from the iConnectivity website) actually has the full functionality for configuring the device - but the official apps on the iOS appstore crash on opening (there are however 3rd party (free) apps on the iOS appstore which *do* work).

All in all, a very useful and configurable device, let down by (very) poor software, but subsequently saved by 3rd party developers and still (barely) functional old software.

Just stay away from Auracle until (if?) it ever gets updated to fully control the devices it's meant to be configuring...

If I could add a more nuanced "score" it would be:

4.5/5 for the hardware capabilities
2/5 for software support

iConnectivity AUDIO4c Audio and MIDI Interface

heb een zeer slechte ervaring met dit product en met Bax. Er zit geen enkele handleiding bij om de drivers te downloaden, zou dit gemaild krijgen, niet dus en enkele weken verder nu nog niets ondanks eerder gemelde klachten. Nu heb ik een prof ingehuurd om het geheel operationeel te krijgen, Deze iConnectivvity schijnt blijkt achteraf zeer slechte tot geen installatie software te leveren.
