Behringer Flow 4VIO|Dedicated I/O Expander for Flow 4V, Equipped with 4 Mic Preamps and a 32-bit Float Audio Interface
A professional I/O expander that extends recording and monitoring capabilities for the Flow 4V
Behringer Flow 4VIO is an I/O expander from Behringer, designed specifically for the Flow 4V field recorder. It uses 32-bit float support and a dual-stage A/D conversion architecture, delivering a 138dB dynamic range, 4 high-quality mic preamps, and 2 headphone outputs, while also integrating a USB audio interface and StageConnect multichannel transmission capability. For users who need more inputs, greater monitoring flexibility, and more efficient system integration, the Flow 4VIO is a key extension that makes the Flow 4V workflow more complete.
Compared with traditional approaches that rely only on external preamps or distributed monitoring devices to expand recording capability, the Behringer Flow 4VIO achieves a more streamlined cable setup, a more consistent recording architecture, and more efficient on-site deployment through its deep integration with the Flow 4V. Compared with similar small USB interfaces, the Flow 4VIO stands out as a dedicated expansion core for the Flow 4V, supporting power delivery over a single XLR cable, 4-in/4-out operation and WING mixer integration, as well as application needs that are closer to field recording and multi-device synchronization.
Who Should Buy the Behringer Flow 4VIO?
Behringer Flow 4VIO Core Technologies and Features
- Dedicated I/O expansion design for the Flow 4V: Built specifically for the Behringer Flow 4V field recorder, it directly extends overall input, monitoring, and system integration capabilities, making it ideal for users who need more recording sources and a more complete workflow.
- 4 high-quality mic preamps: Built-in 4 high-quality mic preamps with phantom power support allow connection of professional condenser or dynamic microphones, expanding flexibility for multi-person interviews, field recording, and multi-source capture.
- 2 headphone outputs with independent level control: Provides 2 headphone outputs, each with its own level control, making it easy for the recorder, host, or interviewee to monitor separately and improving on-site communication and recording verification efficiency.
- Dual-stage A/D conversion and 138dB dynamic range: Uses the same dual-stage A/D conversion architecture as the Flow 4V, delivering a 138dB dynamic range that can handle both subtle signals and high-SPL sources, improving overall recording headroom.
- 32-bit float support: Supports 32-bit float audio processing, preserving greater dynamic range during actual recording and signal transmission, reducing the risk of distortion from sudden volume spikes and easing the pressure of analog gain setting.
- Class-compliant USB audio and MIDI interface: Can be used as a driver-free compatible USB audio and MIDI interface, allowing the Flow 4VIO to function not only as an expander but also as part of desktop recording, live streaming, and music production workflows.
- StageConnect multichannel uncompressed transmission: Supports StageConnect multichannel uncompressed audio transmission, helping integrate compatible devices and maintain a stable, streamlined connection method in more complex live and fixed-installation environments.
- Powering the Flow 4V over a single XLR cable: Can power the connected Flow 4V field recorder through a single XLR cable, reducing on-site cabling complexity and making it especially practical for field recording and mobile deployment.
- Seamless integration with Behringer WING: Can be used as a 4-in/4-out I/O expander for the WING mixer, while also receiving power and completing the connection, making it suitable for users who want a consistent workflow within the Behringer ecosystem.
- Multiple power options: Supports power via StageConnect, USB-C, or the included power supply, making it easier to plan power setups for desktop production, recording vehicles, field shoots, or fixed installations.
