If you’re a content creator who prioritises high-quality audio and needs a flexible solution for working with multiple microphones, the Behringer FLOW 4V is worth your attention. Recently launched, the FLOW 4V is a compact yet powerful field recorder and audio interface designed with professional broadcast and production in mind. Devices offering this level of capability have traditionally come with a hefty price tag, but true to Behringer form, the FLOW 4V is both accessible and affordable, launching at just £237. Let’s take a closer look at its key features.

Four balanced XLR/TRS inputs with up to +70 dB gain

Supports 4 professional microphones or line-level sources, with plenty of gain for low-output mics.
Record multiple presenters, talent, or ambient sound simultaneously without external gear. This makes it ideal for dialogue capture on small shoots or multi mic interviews.

Ultra-wide dynamic range & low noise

Up to 140 dB dynamic range and low equivalent input noise ensures clean audio from quiet whispers to loud sources.
Use-case: Captures noisy environments without distortion and quiet dialogue without noise thanks to its two-stage conversion. Great for documentary shoots or field recording.

Switchable +48 V phantom power

Provides phantom power for condenser mics directly from the unit.
Useful when using high-quality condensers as there’s no need for extra phantom power boxes.

32-bit float & 24-bit recording (48 kHz)

32-bit float lets you fix levels in post without clipping or noise penalties.
There are no analogue gain adjustments to make thanks to its two-stage conversion. This means less stress on making gain decisions on set; even if you hit record with bad levels, audio can be recovered later . This is a huge advantage for solo creators or small crews.

10-Track multitrack recorder

Records up to 10 tracks simultaneously — isolated inputs plus stereo mix.
control separate channels with visual metering on the display. Separate tracks give full control in post editing, remixing, or sound post on multi-mic setups (e.g., panel discussions or multi-presenter podcasts).

Built-in digital mixer

Includes level, pan, low-cut, tone, high-cut, dynamics and automixing with gain sharing to help manage multiple mics.
Automatically reduces noise and focuses on active speakers. perfect for interviews or event recording with changing participants. Also ideal for livestreaming as you can mix on the fly.

Timecode support

Generates and syncs timecode for frame-accurate sync with camera media in your editing software.
This provides tight acurate A/V sync in post. No guesswork or manual syncing when delivering polished corporate videos or narrative content.

Camera integration via micro-HDMI

Starts/stops recording in sync with compatible cameras using CEC.
Keeps audio and video perfectly aligned even if the camera operator forgets to press record. Saves time in busy production environments.

USB-C Audio Interface (12-in / 2-out)

Functions as a USB audio interface for streaming or computer recording.
Use the unit directly with streaming software, recording beds, or VO sessions. No separate sound card is required.

Bluetooth connectivity

On-site monitoring ensures quality and confidence during takes or live gigs.

Auxiliary Input

Provides an aux line-in for external sources (e.g., wireless receivers).
Easily integrates backup audio sources or reference tracks into your mix.

Portable, USB-C powered design
