Steinberg IXO12 Overview

Portable Recording and Streaming Audio Interface for Your Laptop or iPad
Compose and record music, stream content, create podcasts, and make location recordings with the white Steinberg IXO12, a remarkably compact and lightweight 2x2 USB-C audio interface that transforms your iPhone, iPad, Windows, or Mac computer into a truly mobile recording studio. Capture high-quality 192 kHz / 24-bit audio with an XLR-combo preamp for dynamic and condenser microphones, a 1/4" Hi-Z input for guitars, and line input for keyboards or other instruments. Connect monitor speakers and headphones to hear your audio with no distracting echo thanks to latency-free, hardware-based monitoring. The Loopback function makes live streaming simple, so you can share your music, podcasts, or games with the world in real time.

Because the IXO12 is USB-C powered, you can simply plug it into your computer or iPad using a USB-C cable. And with its small size, you can slip this interface in your bag and take it anywhere for capturing spontaneous jams to recording high-quality podcasts on the go. Get started with the included Cubase AI and Cubasis LE, two powerful recording software options to create and edit your music or content.

Features
  • 24-bit / 192 kHz USB-C 2.0 audio interface with 2x2 analog I/O
  • Cross-platform compatibility with Windows, macOS, and iOS
  • One XLR-combo mic/line inputs with Class-A mic preamp and phantom power, plus one 1/4" Hi-Z guitar input
  • Mute buttons on input channels
  • Compact, lightweight metal casing
  • Latency-free, hardware-based direct monitoring
  • For live streaming, the Loopback function mixes the input audio signals (such as microphone and guitar) with the audio signals playing back in the software in the computer into the interface, and sends them back to the computer
  • When connecting the interface to a device that does not supply sufficient bus power, plug in an external USB power supply or USB power bank (available separately) using the USB-C 5V input located on the back panel
  • Cubase AI and Cubasis LE included
