Icon - AIO6 USB Audio Interface and Midi Controller
The Icon AIO6 is a compact desktop recording interface for home and project studios. It combines a four-channel control surface, with a 24/192 audio interface with six inputs and six outputs, in a robust aluminum and metal enclosure. The AIO6 has two Mic/Instrument preamps on the top panel to record vocals, or instruments like guitar and bass. It has two line inputs on the rear panel for electronic instruments like MPC's, or DJ gear. Also on the rear panel are four line outputs to connect speakers or to use as effects sends, with dedicated volume faders on the front panel. S/P DIF and MIDI in and out connections are also provided. The AIO6 is great for duet recordings, with dual headphones outputs located on either side of the interface. The control surface has four channel strips, each with a volume fader, mute, solo, and rec arm buttons, and an encoder to control pan position or send levels. There is an additional fader and encoder for the master channel. A jog wheel, a six-button transport, and navigation buttons are also provided to quickly operate any recording session. The AIO6 uses Mackie Control and HUI protocols for presets and automatic mapping, but also features dedicated user mode buttons to recall custom user mappings on the fly. The AIO6 comes bundled with Cubase LE and includes factory presets for most popular DAW's including Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and Samplitude. Every control can be custom-mapped to any MIDI application using the included iMap software.
