Steinberg IXO12 2x2 USB Audio Interface - Black
At first glance, the IXO12 appears to be a simple USB 2.0 audio interface with two inputs and two outputs. A closer look, however, quickly reveals that Steinberg equipped the IXO12 with some thoughtful touches catered specifically to content creators, streamers, and recordists who demand more from their mobile rigs. These appointments include an incredibly easy-to-use Loopback function that makes livestreaming exceedingly convenient, latency-free input monitoring thanks to a direct monitor switch, and iPad/iPhone support in addition to Mac and PC. Steinberg’s typical build and sound quality are well represented in the IXO12: it comes with a combo mic/line input with a studio-grade microphone preamp, a hi-Z input for electric guitars and basses, and two line outputs with 107dB of dynamic range. The inclusion of Cubase AI, Cubasis LE, and Steinberg Plus means that you can start recording and creating within minutes of unpacking your IXO12. Finally, this interface supplies pro sound wherever you go due to its support for up to 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution.
Steinberg Plus, plus more
In addition to offering support for up to 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution for Mac/PC as well as iPhone and iPad, the IXO12 ships with download information that will also help take your productions to the next level. These include Cubase AI for your computer, Cubasis LE for your mobile devices, and Steinberg Plus for downloading some of Steinberg’s best VST instruments and sound loop sets. An included USB-A to USB-C cable makes setting everything up very user-friendly.
