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.

The premium 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 maximised. 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.

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. 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. 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.

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. IXO series interfaces support the ASIO, Core Audio and WDM standards, offering a seamless recording and production experience with the widest range of audio software. 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.

The lightweight IXO series is your portable, flexible friend for writing songs. 24-bit/192 kHz recording quality and state-of-the-art microphone preamps let you capture vocals and acoustic instruments in stunning detail, while Hi-Z / line inputs provide ample connectivity for electric guitar and keyboards. A headphone output with individual volume control provides latency-free monitoring and the included Cubase AI recording software completes a great-sounding production setup. Streaming and vlogging are great ways to reach new audiences, as well as entertaining your existing followers. The IXO22 is the ideal platform for you to go live online, its Loopback function letting you combine a live microphone signal with the audio from any recording and streaming both live. You can add a live voiceover or vocal to a backing track, or sing live with a musical instrument, with both signals merged and looped back to your internet broadcasting software. When you’re performing live, you want to be sure that the audience hears your voice or instrument exactly as you intend. Take the IXO22 with you to the stage and it will deliver your performance in the best quality, its premium components and analog-digital conversion ensuring that the venue’s audio system reproduces your sound with exceptional clarity and musicality.
