Lexicon I·Onix U82S - USB 2.0 Desktop Recording Studio

The I·Onix U82S from Lexicon is a desktop, USB 2.0 digital audio interface featuring dbx high-voltage, ultra-low noise microphone preamps on all 8 channels. The preamps run on a high-voltage supply to guarantee stability and provide a wide dynamic range, while the 24-bit/96kHz converters can capture every subtle detail of a recording.

The interface can record 8 tracks at once and includes combi-jack microphone/line inputs with switchable +48V phantom power and 2 Hi-Z instrument inputs (connecting an instrument to either of the latter causes the corresponding microphone/line input to become inactive). Two 1/4" TRS balanced line outputs are complemented by 2 headphone outputs with dedicated gain controls, along with MIDI I/O and S/PDIF digital input and output.

The included Cubase 4LE software provides comprehensive recording and editing features for both audio and MIDI. The Pantheon II VST/AU reverb plug-in features 6 reverb types with 16 adjustable parameters and 35 factory presets that range from vocal settings, to live sound and to special effects.
