I have two of these in my home studio. Sound quality is crystal clear. They can be a pain to set up on a Pc if you want two running (see my review on how to do this) but a single one just configures itself with no drama and runs even on a mac. **Q: Is this item better than the bheringer uphoria umc22** A: I have no idea because i haven't seen or used behringer u phoria umc22. But i guess the Alesis has an edge because of its 4 equally (balanced) canon input readily available to bus 4 different microphone for vocals (or instruments) set-up that you can record together (in 16-bits). However, only 2 of them can be utilized if you decide to use a 24-bit **Q: What are good alternatives since this is no longer available? i need 4-track output to usb with 4 xlr inputs.** A: I would recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Professional-Standard-SCARLETT-18i8-Award-Winning/dp/B00IDDFAII/ref=sr_1_7?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1445557516&sr=1-7&keywords=4+track+interfaceIt's more expensive, but it is better. Alesis iO4 can't record 4 tracks at 24 bits. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome affordable interface *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012* I'm a diy musician and I used to use a usb condensor mic to record pretty much everything from vocals to guitars and bass. But after I got this I could do so much more. It has a 16 bit and 24 bit mode and mono and stereo modes too for different types of recordings like micing an acoustic guitar with two mics. It also works really good for micing drums (2 overheads, a kick, and snare mic) and like the other reviewer that you have to use a lot of gain, you do have to turn it up quite a bit but not so much that you're not able to use certain microphonesI haven't recorded guitar and bass directly through this because i usually end up mic'ing an amp when it comes to those but if you use garageband or logic you could use this to plug in your guitar and use the amps that are built in to the softwareI haven't had any problems with this but the monitoring could be a little tricky when you first get it but it's nothing you won't get used to after the first few minutes of using this and it isn't the most expensive thing you could get so it is plastic so if you have a problem with dropping things you might wanna save up for something with a hard case and the preamps aren't the highest quality but if you're an at home this is a really good piece of equipment for anyone that's starting out recording. This is perfect for podcasting too.I'd say this is a 5 star product especially for the price. There are other interfaces like MBoxes and the Apogee Duet but if you're on a budget or if you don't know too much about recording you should definitely get this! ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Nice Design Poor Performance *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2012* The Alesis iO4 is a nice looking product that can easily handle 4 phantom powered devices, but it can not actually stream 4 SEPARATE channels at once over USB 2.o. Mine would not work at all in 24-Bit mode. The CuBase bundled software that came with the iO4 is an overly complicated mess and does not play well with in either Windows or Mac.What the device can do is input 4 monaural tracks at once, but they recorded as only as two.The worse offense is that after a few minutes of operation, the iO4 begins to pick up computer noise which permeates all channels.Very disappointed. Sending it back right way! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A "Cautious 4 Stars" *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2014* I love this interface for its sound and its versatility. HOWEVER, there are some things to be aware of...I had read several people complaining about the drivers and thought, "Well, I can handle that issue ok since I work on computers quite often". WELL, I followed all of the directions and got Windows sounds out of the device right away but when I went into Cubase there was nowhere to select the Asio4all driver that I had to install for it. In fact there were no drivers at all listed as Cubase has to have Asio. I tried it in Audacity and NTrack and none of the Asio drivers were listed at all. I kept thinking it was something that I had done wrong and retraced my steps over and over again to no avail. Searching on the "No Driver" issue though, I found a common theme that kept occurring and that was that it was always with Windows 7. The only people that seemed to be able to solve it ended up reloading Windows to fix it. Also, there was a reference to the fact that the problem only recently occurred. Most likely a Microsoft update took out the drivers ability to work with this device.I really dreaded reloading Windows because I didn't want to have to re-install all of my existing software. I finally found that you can do a Windows 7 reload without losing everything by selecting "upgrade" (even though you are not technically upgrading anything) and you have to run the Windows setup.exe from within Windows (don't boot to the DVD and install or it will delete everything on your Windows drive!!). Once I re-installed Windows everything started working fine. The sound quality is so much better than the Realtek HD Audio (built in soundcard) that I was using before. I have since set my Windows Update to only do the security updates automatically not any others. Hopefully this will keep my audio drivers in place. I do believe that if Alesis cared enough about this product to create their own driver for this unit then it would have saved me a visit to "Driver Hell"...Some have mentioned that the device hums or crackles when recording and I ran into that with other drivers (as well as some interesting speed and pitch issues) but if you can get the Asio4all drivers installed and working properly, you should not have that problem. At least, I don't now.Someone else mentioned that the Cubase is only a trial version with no registration codes. It IS a "light" version but you can register it and keep using it but to do that you have to also install a program that is bundled with it called eLicenser. There is not much in the way of instructions on how to use it (it should be a lot simpler) but after poking around enough I finally got it to register my copy of Cubase ok. With all that said, I personally am not too crazy about Cubase from what little bit I have used it.If I had to base the review only on the device itself that is already up and running, I would give it a straight up 5 stars. BUT, given that it can be such an ordeal to get the drivers working with Windows 7, I would like to bring it down a couple of stars HOWEVER, I believe that the majority of my problem was with something that Microsoft did on an update at some point SO I can't blame all of the problem on Alesis. Also, this probably would have been an issue with any device using Asio drivers. With all that said, I sure wish that Alesis would supply their own driver that wouldn't be bothered by anything that Microsoft does.So, I know I have gone on long enough but if this save one person the headache that I had while installing this device then it will have been worth it.I give the interface a "Cautious 4 Stars"Thanks and good luck... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/5018201-alesis-io4-four-channel-24-bit-recording-interface](https://www.desertcart.at/products/5018201-alesis-io4-four-channel-24-bit-recording-interface) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
