Portable 24-bit / 48kHz USB Interface
The ideal audio/MIDI companion for laptop recording environments, the IO|2 is a 2-channel
portable 24-bit / 48 kHz USB audio interface. The IO|2 is equipped with two professional mic
preamps with 48v phantom power, and dedicated four-segment signal/clip LED metering. The
flexible input structure can also accomodate DI and line-level sources via 1/4” connectors. These
inputs also include 1/4˝ TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) inserts for patching signal processors such as a compressor.
The main outputs are provided on balanced 1/4” connectors and the headphone output is via a 1/4” TRS jack. MIDI I/O is also
included for sequencing and DAW mixing functionality, as well as S/PDIF digital I/O for interfacing digitally with outboard
processors and recorder / players. Compact form factor, rugged aluminum housing and laptop-optimized USB bus-powering
make it the ideal interface for travel and field applications. The IO|2 USB supports Plug and Play operation under both Mac OSX
and PC/Windows—no drivers or setup is required. Bundled with Steinberg’s Cubase LE recording software.
iO|14 24-bit /192kHz Firewire Interface
The IO|14 is a 24-bit /192kHz audio / MIDI interface built into a compact and sturdy tabletop
housing. Ideal for home and project studios as well as audio post suites, the IO|14 offers four
analog mic/line inputs on “combo” connectors with 48v phantom power as well as 1/4”
TRS insert jacks for adding outboard processors directly into the signal path. The rear
panel offers two 1/4” balanced line outputs plus coaxial S/PDIF I/O. Also provides 8
channels of ADAT input, an ideal way to expand the number of mic/line inputs.
Incorporates audiophile quality Cirrus converters along with Wavefront Semiconductor’s
state-of-the-art DICE II JET Jitter Elimination Technology. The IO|14 can be powered via the
Firewire bus or supplied AC adapter. Also offers five-segment signal/clip LED metering on each input
and two headphone outputs with individual level control. Bundled with Steinberg’s Cubase LE.
