NEW! IK Multimedia AXE I/O | Premium Audio Interface IK Multimedia AXE I/O | Premium Audio Interface with Advanced Guitar Tone Shaping
2 in / 5 out (one low-noise Amp out)
2 ultra-low noise mic in/balanced line in
Amp out can connect to amps and stomps without ground noise
Built-in Tuner
High-resolution ultra low-noise Class A microphone preamps
Since we pioneered guitar amp & effects modeling in 2002, IK Multimedia has spent more time studying guitar and amp recording than possibly anyone else on the planet. Modeling over 400 pieces of gear has required tens of thousands of hours painstakingly measuring the interactions between instruments, pickups and amplifier circuits, not to mention the cooperation of the worlds most iconic guitar players, amplifier manufacturers, and engineers to learn how to create and capture great guitar tones.
AXE I/O brings all that experience to you.
AXE I/O is a professional 2 in/5 out audio interface and controller – designed specifically with the needs of the recording guitarist in mind, providing best-in-class sound quality and powerful features aimed squarely at making your recordings faster, easier and better than ever.
AXE I/O offers an exclusive triple-topology, fully discrete input circuit, with both PURE and JFET input stages, to go from transparent to tube-like with just a single switch.
Its patent-pending Z-Tone impedance-adapting circuit interacts with your guitar’s pick-ups to give you a massive range of tonal flexibility, youve never heard before.
Plus AXE I/O includes a dedicated Amp Out, so you can process your recording with real guitar amps and stomps without the need for external accessories (and without having to unplug your existing connections!). This low-noise out also eliminates ground loops, to keep even the highest-gain re-amplification as quiet as possible.
And AXE I/O seamlessly integrates with the included AmpliTube 4 Deluxe to select presets and control values via the front input knob, and lets you connect pedals and switches to get the most from your virtual rig without ever taking your hands off your axe.
We even included an onboard tuner so you can be ready to record in an instant whenever inspiration strikes.
Every element of AXE I/O has been created with no-compromise quality and real-world usefulness.
Its the interface we wish wed had all along.
A truly high-end audio interface for everybody
7 dB dynamic range, 3 Hz 32 kHz frequency response these arent the specs you typically find on instrument inputs. But theyre essential to capturing the most accurate details of your performance, for coaxing the best performance from your instrument, and for keeping your sound pure and transparent.
AXE I/O provides 2 Hi-Z front ” inputs for guitars and basses, 2 rear combo inputs with phantom power to connect mics and line instruments, and clear precision front peak meters to conveniently monitor the signal level at the channels input. Two floating balanced outputs, two unbalanced and one floating unbalanced Amp out plus a high-current headphone out let you connect monitors, mains and headphones, with independent volume for both. A Monitor knob makes it easy to blend direct monitoring and the audio from your computer for zero latency monitoring.
24-bit, 192 kHz conversion and an ultra-stable, low jitter internal clock ensures the highest fidelity, whether youre capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, amplified guitar or just direct signal for use with AmpliTube.
