Utilizing DICE II FireWire technology for big bandwidth, fast signal handling, and lots of digital headroom, the Alesis io|26 is a professional level computer recording interface in an easy-to-use tabletop design. You get 8 analog channels and 18 digital channels; Alesis high definition microphone preamps; Cirrus audiophile converters and jitter elimination technology; and high quality 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion circuitry.
The io|26 audio interface has line-level inserts on analog channels, 48V phantom power, 5-segment signal/clip meters, 2 headphone outputs, 8 line-level outputs, turntable inputs, S/PDIF I/O, dual MIDI/O, and includes Cubase LE recording software. Dual ADAT lightpipe inputs give you forward-thinking, professional expansion potential for your recording setup. Flexible, routable Hardware Direct Monitoring allows you to send a customized, latency-free mix to each output pair. The io|26 interface runs on FireWire bus power or AC power with the included adapter.
