Waves IOX Audio Interface

DiGiGrid IOX is the perfect high-count I/O interface for your studio's performance/recording room. This advanced audio interface features 12 mic/line inputs with broadcast/studio-quality preamps and 6 line outputs. The IOX delivers high-resolution monitoring in the studio and the control room alike, with four headphone outputs allowing independent mixes for each musician. With your IOX and a dedicated SoundGrid DSP server, you can run up to hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible Waves and third-party plugins, all fully integrated within your DAW of choice.

Use a single Ethernet cable to plug the IOX into your SoundGrid network, and you will instantly tap into a world of real-time tracking, mixing and monitoring, with incredibly low latency of only 0.8 milliseconds.
