ALESIS iO2

Portable 2 Channel 24-Bit USB Audio Interface

The Big Brother to the Alesis iO2 Epress, the iO2 comes in a sturdy metal casing and also has 24 s/pdif connections for digital recording.

Designed as the ideal Audio/MIDI companion to notebook computer-based recording environments, the iO|2 USB has a compact form factor that can easily fit in a laptop case or small backpack.

The iO|2 USB features durable aluminum casing, USB power (eliminating cumbersome external power supplies) and is optimized for minimal laptop battery drain.

The iO|2 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.
