Great for musicians and creators on the go, the Comica Audio LINKFLEX AD5 is a feature-packed 4x4 audio interface that combines quality audio with flexible analog and digital connectivity, loopback function, DSP effects, and ease of use, for music recording/production, streaming, podcasting, gaming, and remote meetings. Powered either via USB or its built-in rechargeable battery, and equipped with two USB-C ports, the interface can be used either with your computer, or standalone with your smartphone/tablet, or in combination with both, offering seamless integration between your mobile device and your computer setup.
Quality Audio with Two XLR Preamps
- Two quality preamps with 115 dB high dynamic range and 65 dB of gain, so you can use any microphone, without signal boosters.
- 48 kHz / 24-bit AD/DA conversion for clear digital audio.
- Sweeten your sound with onboard DSP effects: EQ modes (Deep, Natural, Bright), Reverb modes (Room, Stage, Hall), and Noise Gate to cut unwanted room noise.
Flexible Analog/Digital Connectivity for Your Computer and Mobile Device
- Two XLR-1/4" combo jacks to connect microphones, guitars, keyboards, line-level audio devices (with 48V phantom power).
- One 3.5mm TRRS stereo jack to input audio from your mobile device.
- Two 1/4" TRS L/R balanced monitor outputs.
- One 3.5mm TRRS stereo jack to output audio to your mobile device.
- Two headphone outputs with volume control.
- Two USB-C ports for connecting two computers or mobile devices (Mac/Windows computers and iOS/Android).
Two-Way Digital/Analog Transmission
- Dual USB-C ports and dual 3.5mm TRS ports support digital/analog transmission to two computers and/or mobile devices.
Dual Recording/Streaming Output Modes
- In Recording mode, AD5 outputs stereo audio (left channel and right channel).
- In Streaming mode, AD5 outputs mono audio (both left channel).
- In Direct monitoring mode, the AD5 will route the audio signals from the mic preamps directly to the monitor outputs and headphones with zero latency.
- In Input monitoring mode, audio signals from the mic preamps will be routed to the DAW software and then to the monitor outputs and headphones with mixed audio, which will cause a delay in monitoring.
Loopback Mode for Streaming and Podcasting
- In Loopback mode you can capture audio from any phone, software, browser, game, or Zoom call and send them to your DAW.
Long Battery Life for Portability
- The built-in rechargeable battery offers 6 hours of operation. Alternately, the AD5 can also be powered via USB.
- At only 16.6 oz and featuring a small form factor, the unit is easy to carry for working on the go.
