Get rolling with Cubase LE and Lexicon's sleek IO42 audio interface, with four XLR-1/4" mic/line preamps and pristine 96 kHz/24-bit A/D converters.
Overview
Featuring newly designed dbx 60V high-voltage, ultra-low noise mic preamps on all 4 channels, the Lexicon IO42 is more than equipped to provide professional recordings that keep your music sounding its best. The preamps run on a high-voltage supply to guarantee stability and provide you with a superior recording across a wide dynamic range. Performance driven A/DD/A converters ensure pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio to capture every subtle detail of your performance.
The IO42 can record four tracks at once and includes 4 combi-jack mic/line inputs with +48V phantom power, 2 TRS balanced line outputs, 2 hi-Z instrument inputs, 2 high power 1/4" headphone outputs, S/PDIF and MIDI I/O. Dedicated knobs and meters offer easy access to input and output levels and locking combi-jacks make sure that a connection is not lost in the middle of a performance.
No artist likes to be told what to do - what tools to use and what tools you cant use. Lexicon understands your passion and it inspires innovation. Brilliantly designed, the IO Desktop Recording Series is compatible with most any DAW, including Pro Tools (version 9 or later). Now this innovative hardware design meets the software capability of any creative passion.
