Product Description

Designed as the ideal Audio/MIDI companion to notebook computer-based recording environments, the iO2 USB has a compact form factor that can easily fit in a laptop case or small backpack. The iO2 USB features durable aluminum casing, USB power (eliminating cumbersome external power supplies) and is optimized for minimal laptop battery drain.

The iO2 provides 2-channels of pristine 24-bit/48kHz audio directly to your computer via the integrated USB interface and features 2 channels of switchable mic/line inputs. And with Hardware Direct Monitoring, you never have to worry about dealing with audio latency while recording.

Small enough to fit in a backpack, but powerful enough to get the job done right, the iO2 is perfect for musicians on the go.
