DIGIGRID / IOS-XL

DiGiGrid / IOS-XL is a new generation audio interface system that significantly expands your DAW system. Built-in SoundGrid DSP server. Comes with a reliable Sound House 3-year warranty!

Audio interface, Ethernet connection

- Significantly increase CPU plug-in processing

- Share an interface with multiple computers

- Add multiple SoundGrid interfaces

- Connect to a computer over long distances (up to 70m)

With a variety of functions, you can build a DAW system like never before.

This audio interface has a built-in SoundGrid DSP server that adds plug-in processing power, and a wealth of analog and digital inputs and outputs on the back panel. It is an all-in-one solution for native DAW users (Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton, Pro Tools Native, etc.) from professional systems to personal production environments.

SoundGrid Studio software allows you to mix and monitor in real time with over 100 SoundGrid-compatible Waves and third-party plug-ins, with extremely low latency of 0.8ms.

For live sound applications, you can run Waves LV1 or MultiRack on the SoundGrid server on IOS, and use just your computer and IOS-XL as a live sound console or effect rack running a wide variety of SoundGrid plug-ins.

Network connection
Connect to the computer with a general-purpose Ethernet cable. Up to eight SoundGrid-compatible interfaces and computers can be connected by using a long-distance connection of up to 75m or an Ethernet Hub. Multiple computers can share one IOS, and it is easy to connect computers together and add I/O. In addition, IOS has four Ethernet ports, so up to four computers and interfaces can be directly connected.

Server
Built-in Intel Corei7 SoundGrid server, plug-ins are processed by this SoundGrid server instead of the CPU of a Mac or Windows PC, allowing you to use more plug-ins with ultra-low latency.

With up to 512 SSL G-Channels and up to 173 C6 Multiband Compressors*, you can process the equivalent of two computers. *Mono, 44.1kHz

And with a processing latency of 0.8msec, you can use compatible plug-ins (Waves, Sonnox, Flux::, Plugin Alliance, etc.) for overdubbing and monitor effects without putting a strain on your computer.
