Ensuring sung vocals, speech and acoustic instruments are captured in stunning detail, IXO series microphone preamps deliver recording quality which is unmatched in this price class.

The IXO interface Loopback function offers an easy way to stream performances live to the internet. Ideal for hosting live online broadcasts, incoming audio signals (such as a microphone, musical instrument or line source) are merged with content coming from playback software, such as Cubase or another DAW, on your computer. The merged signal is then broadcast online via your choice of streaming software. The IXO22 features latency-free direct hardware monitoring, which allows you to listen to the input signal in real time when recording. Because the IXO22 has an extra input, that model also allows you to choose between mono or stereo direct monitoring.
