Troubleshoot the audio cables connected to the speakers, the speakers themselves or try different headphones.

This will require troubleshooting either the computer software or the audio device connected (e.g.

This article is about the OCTA-CAPTUREs little sister, the QUAD-CAPTURE, and covers the differences between the two units, as well as its relative preamp and ADC (analogdigital conversion) quality compared with similar devices.

One of the first things youll notice is that the QUAD-CAPTUREs name insinuates more microphone inputs than it really has.

Roland Octacapture Full Review Here

Unlike the OCTA-CAPTURE ( see my full review here ), which has ten audio inputs of which eight can be balanced microphone sources via XLR, the QUAD-CAPTURE (US349 list US269 street ) has only two balanced microphone inputs via XLRTRS ( tipringsleeve ) connections.

The quad name -at least to me- implied that it would have four such inputs.

The QUAD-CAPTURE does have two other inputs, but they are not for microphones; they are not analog, but digital (coaxial).

To be fair, when looking at the QUAD-CAPTURE from the top, just under the name QUAD-CAPTURE, it says ANALOG 22 DIGITAL 22.

Two combo XLRTRS inputs with premium mic preamps (VS Preamps, the same ones used in the OCTA-CAPTURE), two TRS outputs, coaxial IO, headphone out, and MIDI IO.

Graphical control panel software provides control of the preamps.

Switches for phantom power (global), ground lift (global), and Hi-Z switches (only for microphone input 1).

One-click AUTO-SENS function automatically sets optimal input levels for the preamps (I didnt use them in my tests, but could be beneficial in certain situations.).

Compact with durable aluminum body and Direct Box functionality.

Bundled with Cakewalk SONAR X1 LE (I did not install or test.).

Unlike the OCTA-CAPTURE which requires AC power, the smaller QUAD-CAPTURE runs on USB bus power.

Like the OCTA-CAPTURE, the QUAD CAPTURE also requires the installation of drivers and an application even on Mac.

For this review and several similar ones I am doing on other devices, I decided to use TecnoTur s revered Heil PR-40 large diaphragm dynamic microphone as the reference microphone in order to evaluate the preamp and ADC (audiodigital converter) in each device.

Note: This section of the article will be repetitive for those who already read my review on the OCTA-CAPTURE.

Since the PR-40 microphone is dynamic, I did not use any phantom power.

To be fair with all of the devices, I left filters, compressors and limiters off during the tests.

With all of them, I recorded the best audio level possible, although with some, there was not quite enough amplification even at maximum gain.

Although generally when I record audio podcasts, audio spots, or audiobooks, I record at 44.1KHz, for any audio to be used with video, I do it at 48KHz, which is the standard for digital-audio-for-digital-video.

Thats why I recorded all of the samples made for this and the other related reviews at 48KHz.

Following you will find downloadable raw 48KHz WAV files to compare the audible quality of each.

When I say raw, I mean that no post-processing has happened on the original 48KHz, other than to export it as a mono 48KHz WAV file.
