The IO2 is a portable 2-channel 24-bit/48k USB audio interface that's built tough and priced sweet. It comes loaded with low latency ASIO 2.0 drivers and Cubase LE recording software so you can start recording immediately. Housed in sturdy, yet lightweight aluminum, it's USB powered so you don't have to be tethered to an AC power supply.

Featuring professional grade mic preamps, phantom power, and signal/clip LED meters on both channels, the IO2 sports XLR and 1/4" inputs to let you record everything from mics to guitars to keyboards. With channel inserts for outboard processing, and full MIDI and S/PDIF I/O, its capabilities are as extensive as your imagination.

Main Features:
• 24-bit, 48 kHz operation with high-end A/D and D/A conversion through integrated USB audio interface
• 2 XLR mic inputs with 48V phantom power
• (2) 1/4" balanced line inputs that can accept guitar level signals
• 1/4" balanced main outputs
• 1/4" TRS inserts on input channels
• 1/4" TRS headphone output
• Dedicated four segment signal/clip LED meter on both channels
• Ultra low-latency ASIO 2.0 drivers (with zero-latency hardware monitoring)
• 24-bit S/PDIF I/O for direct digital recording
• MIDI Input/Output
• USB poweredóno external AC power supply necessary
• Low power usage for minimal laptop battery drain
