High-count I/O audio interface for recording and performance

DiGiGrid IOX Advanced Audio Interface

The DiGiGrid IOX advanced audio interface delivers high-resolution monitoring in the studio and control room alike, with 12 mic/line inputs that feature broadcast/studio-quality preamps, 6 line outputs, and 4 powerful headphone outputs to provide independent mixes for each musician.

Connect the IOX to a SoundGrid server, and run up hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plugins with ultra-low, 0.8 millisecond latency—all integrated in your DAW of choice.

It offers a generous twelve analogue mic/line inputs (XLR/TRS combo sockets) equipped with DiGiCo pre-amps, six analogue line outputs (TRS sockets), word-clock on BNC connectors, dual SoundGrid network ports, and four powerful independent headphone outputs. Ideal for studio, broadcast, streaming and live sound applications, the IOX delivers rock-solid performance and the same exceptional audio quality befitting its DiGiCo pedigree.

For Live sound applications, the DiGiGrid IOX is ideal to serve as the I/O for your FOH booth based around the Waves eMotion LV1 digital mixing system. Thanks to the flexibility of SoundGrid, effortlessly add multiple IOX units or other DiGiGrid audio interfaces or other SoundGrid-compatible devices with generous cable run lengths and latency as low as 0.86ms!
