IXO22 USB Audio Interface

The premium converters used in IXO series interfaces deliver great audio quality, thanks to a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz with 24-bit resolution. High-quality analog to digital conversion is a crucial first step for any sound production, so Steinberg’s hardware designers carefully chose the best combination of components for optimum results. Accurately capturing every detail of the signals they record, IXO interfaces ensure audio fidelity throughout the recording process is maximised. 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. With a beautifully transparent sound, the remarkably detailed high end, rich low frequencies and exceptional dynamic response give every project you create the clearest, most musical quality.

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 IXO12 features latency-free direct hardware monitoring, which allows you to listen to the input signal in real time when recording. IXO series interfaces can be used with an audio application such as Steinberg’s Cubasis for iPhone and iPad, giving you a fully mobile audio recording solution. All IXO interfaces automatically switch to Class Compliant (CC) mode when connected to an iOS device, providing an effortlessly intuitive, ultra-portable production experience.

IXO series interfaces feature high-speed USB 2.0, which provides fast, reliable, and seamless connectivity to iOS devices, Mac and PC computers. Together with the latest USB-C connection standard, IXO interfaces allow easy and flexible connection for every setup, wherever you are recording. IXO series interfaces support the ASIO, Core Audio and WDM standards, offering a seamless recording and production experience with the widest range of audio software. The small size and the light weight of the IXO12 make it the perfect companion for mobile recording. Along with the high-quality components and the inputs, outputs and controls you need, it will easily fit in a backpack or laptop bag, so you always have it with you wherever and whenever you need it.

Whether you are a producer, journalist, composer or brand new to sound recording, IXO series interfaces makes high-quality mobile recording a breeze. Housed in a compact and lightweight housing, the 24-bit/192 kHz recording quality, great-sounding mic preamps and seamless, high-speed USB connection with iOS devices give you a superb, portable recording setup. The included Cubasis LE iOS app means you can start making professional recordings on an iPad straight away, while the included Cubase AI allows you to record to either Mac or PC, wherever you are.
