Whether you are taking your first steps in music, want to stream your content online or record your family and friends having fun, the IXO22’s compact and lightweight design, outstanding sound quality and ease of use make it the perfect recording companion for you, your computer and iOS device. The IXO22 is available in black and white versions.

Features:

24-bit/192kHz
The premium converters used in IXO series interfaces deliver great audio quality, thanks to a maximum sampling rate of 192kHz 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 interdaces ensure audio fidelity throughout the recording process is maximised.

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 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 instruments, 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 IXO12 features latency-free direct hardware monitoring, which allows you to listen to the input signal in real time when recording.

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 Compliant (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 connections 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 ASIO, Core Audio and WDM standards, offering seamless recording and production experience with the widest rande of audio software.

Ultra-Mobile Build
The small size and the light weight of the IXO12 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.
