Key Info
24-bit/192kHz audio resolution for pristine sound quality
The Steinberg IXO12 USB-C Audio Interface is equipped with premium converters that guarantee exceptional audio quality. With a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz and 24-bit resolution, these converters ensure that every detail of your recordings is captured accurately. The hardware designers at Steinberg have carefully selected the best components to optimize the analog-to-digital conversion process, resulting in maximized audio fidelity throughout the entire recording process.
Loopback functionality for livestreaming
The IXO12 interface features a convenient Loopback function that allows you to easily stream your performances live to the internet. This is particularly useful for hosting online broadcasts. By merging incoming audio signals from sources such as microphones, musical instruments, or line sources with playback software on your computer, such as Cubase or another DAW, you can effortlessly broadcast high-quality audio online using your preferred streaming software.
Zero-latency, real-time monitoring
With the IXO12 interface, you can enjoy latency-free direct hardware monitoring. This means that you can listen to the input signal in real-time while recording, without any noticeable delay. This feature enables you to make instant adjustments and ensures that you have full control over your recordings. Additionally, the IXO22 model offers an extra input and the option to choose between mono or stereo direct monitoring, giving you even more flexibility in your recording setup.
Versatile compatibility - iOS ready and more
The IXO series interfaces are compatible with Steinberg's Cubasis app for iPhone and iPad. This means that you can turn your portable iOS device into a fully functional audio recording studio. When connected to an iOS device, the IXO interfaces automatically switch to Class Compliant mode, providing a seamless and intuitive production experience. Whether you're on the go or working in a compact space, the IXO12 USB-C Audio Interface offers a truly portable and versatile solution for all your audio recording needs.
