Lexicon IO 22 Overview

The I-O 22 from Lexicon is a USB 2.0 desktop recording studio compatible with any DAW, including Pro Tools 9. It includes an interface and all the necessary software needed to start recording. Performance driven analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters ensure pristine 24-bit/96kHz audio to capture every subtle detail of your performance.

The interface features dbx 60V high-voltage, ultra-low noise microphone preamps on both channels. The preamps run on a high-voltage supply to guarantee stability and provide you with a superior recording across a wide dynamic range.

The I-O 22 can record two tracks at once and includes two combi microphone/line inputs with switchable 48V phantom power, two balanced line outputs, a Hi-Z instrument input, a 1/4" high power headphone output, and MIDI I/O. Dedicated knobs and meters offer easy access to input and output levels.
