Behringer FLOW 4V Field Recorder

The Behringer FLOW 4V is built for the pace and demands of modern video production, where clean audio and seamless operation matter as much as the images themselves. It captures detailed multitrack sound directly on set and keeps everything locked perfectly to your camera, letting you move smoothly from shooting to editing without the usual headaches. Whether you’re filming, streaming, or creating content in the field, it’s designed to slot into your workflow without slowing you down.

At the heart of the system is its No‑Clip Recording technology, which gives you an enormous amount of headroom thanks to four dual‑gain microphone preamps and high‑precision dual‑stage converters. With a dynamic range that reaches 142 dB, it handles quiet nuances and explosive peaks with equal confidence, capturing the full character of the moment without distortion. Every input is recorded with the assurance that even unexpected volume spikes won’t compromise a take, a safety net that frees you to focus on performance and timing instead of constantly riding gain.

FLOW 4V also functions as a true multitrack recorder, capturing up to eight isolated input tracks while simultaneously creating a polished stereo mix. Each source—whether a microphone, line‑level feed, USB audio, or Bluetooth—lands in its own file, giving you complete control when you reach the edit. Sync is never an afterthought. The recorder can follow your camera’s clock or act as the master, starting and stopping in unison via HDMI and locking every take with frame‑accurate SMPTE timecode. When you import your footage, the audio aligns itself automatically, eliminating the need for claps, guesswork, or waveform matching.

A full 10‑channel digital mixer is built right in, offering EQ, filters, dynamics, and an AutoMix engine that manages overlapping dialogue for you. This allows you to craft a broadcast‑ready mix on set or during a livestream while still capturing every track independently for later refinement. Connectivity is equally flexible. FLOW 4V operates as a 12‑in/2‑out USB audio interface for computer recording or streaming, and its dual recessed USB‑C ports accept hot‑swappable power from AC adapters, power banks, or any USB‑PD source. You can record to the onboard SD card, directly to your computer, or create automatic backups to a USB drive after each take.

For productions that need room to grow, the optional FLOW 4VIO expansion adds four additional preamps and two more headphone outputs over a single StageConnect cable, keeping setups tidy even as they scale. A purpose‑built carry bag with a clear magnetic cover supports run‑and‑gun shooting, and the high‑contrast touchscreen paired with physical controls gives operators immediate clarity and speed on set. Developed by the same team behind Behringer’s X32 and WING mixers, the FLOW 4V brings professional audio engineering into a video‑ready form. For filmmakers, sound mixers, and creators who want reliable, unclipped, perfectly synced audio without slowing down their workflow, it’s a tool designed to quietly solve problems in the background while you focus on the story.
