It is as easy as hooking up a condenser or dynamic microphone and a guitar or bass and \u2014 using the front panel-positioned potentiometers to control the Mic in and Guitar In connections \u2014 adjusting accordingly to quickly capture the musical moment, having connected speakers (to those rear panel- positioned outputs) or headphones (to the front panel-positioned quarter-inch TS connector, with adjacent individual volume potentiometer). Pressing the top panel-positioned Monitor button allows for direct monitoring of the input \u2014 microphone or instrument \u2014 signal through headphones without computer processing and with zero-latency while recording. Indeed, iCON Pro Audio\u2019s rugged aluminium-constructed, compact Duo22 Live\u2019s dual connectivity is designed to enhance mobile live streams, podcasts, or videos; from a one-man show to a full live band, broadcasting mixes at ultra low- latency directly to a smart mobile device is a breeze.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-3276 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1024x406.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1024x406.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-300x119.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-768x305.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1536x609.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-2048x813.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-696x276.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1392x552.jpeg 1392w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1068x424.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1920x762.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/0f90238d0c158c96a1834441a91c9cb52d17bbf8-1058x420.jpeg 1058w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Better still, Duo22 Live is not alone in doing what it does so well, with its Duo44 Live bigger brother effectively expanding on the concept in both its higher \u2018numerical naming\u2019 and increased connectivity count as a four-input\/four-output USB recording interface also aimed at musicians, performers, and producers who want to incorporate a mobile device into their setup \u2014 this time for full duplex simultaneous recording and playback.

This time the Master level potentiometer (to control the master output level of the analogue outputs) is also sited on the front panel, while the topside- sited singular Monitor knob allows for direct monitoring (eliminating the latency or delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry while listening to the input and existing tracks) when turned clockwise and \u2018computer\u2019 monitoring (complete with effects while recording by using extremely low-latency ASIO monitoring) when turned anti-clockwise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-3277 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1024x420.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1024x420.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-300x123.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-768x315.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1536x631.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-2048x841.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-696x286.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1392x572.jpeg 1392w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1068x439.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1920x788.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-1023x420.jpeg 1023w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5c5892613f6983411573de0193b57756ca118fb0-2046x840.jpeg 2046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further flexibility abounds as Duo22 Live and Duo44 Live are both equipped with a +5V DC power supply connector, enabling external power to be supplied when working with a USB-connected iPad, for example, so no need, necessarily, to work with a computer-hosted DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
