# Introduction to FLOW 4V and FLOW 4VIO
### Field Recorder, StageConnect I/O Extension, USB Audio Interface
**FLOW 4V** is a 10-track field recorder equipped with four onboard dual-stage preamps with extreme dynamic range. It also functions as a standalone 32-bit float USB audio interface and an I/O box for other StageConnect devices. Record and mix line-level signals using the stereo AUX input. FLOW 4V can be expanded with four additional remote inputs through StageConnect using a FLOW 4VIO.
**FLOW 4VIO** is an I/O box featuring four onboard dual-stage preamps and two 1/4" TRS outputs. Similar to FLOW 4V, FLOW 4VIO can also serve as a standalone USB audio interface and I/O box for other StageConnect devices.
### Dual-Stage Preamps
The dual-stage preamp and A/D conversion deliver a 142 dB dynamic range for microphone or line-level sources.
Highly optimized input circuitry ensures an optimal signal-to-noise ratio and prevents audio clipping without requiring manual gain adjustments. Input levels can be trimmed digitally for added flexibility.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.behringer.com/introduction-to-flow-4v-and-flow-4vio.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
