FEATURES

• 24-bit/192 kHz: The 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 maximized. 
• IXO mic preamps: 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.
• Loopback function for streaming: 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. 
• Latency free direct monitoring: 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.
• iOS ready via CC mode: 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 Complaint (CC) mode when connected to an iOS device, providing an effortlessly intuitive, ultra-portable production experience. 
• High-speed USB 2.0 via USB-C: 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. 
• Compatible with all major audio software: IXO series interfaces support the AISO, Core Audio and WDM standards, offering a seamless recording and production experience with the widest range of audio software. 
• Ultra-mobile build: The small size and the light-weight of the IXO22 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.
• Cubase AI: Cubase AI is a special, cut-down version which uses the same core technologies as Cubase Pro, providing all the basic tools needed for recording, editing and mixing.
• Cubasis LE: Cubasis LE is the compact version of its bigger brother Cubasis. Specially designed for quick and easy operation, it makes recording, editing and mixing on your iPhone or iPad a breeze.
