Surprisingly small, tough-as-nails, and unbeatably priced.

The Alesis iO|2 USB audio/MIDI interface boasts a heavy-duty, bead-blasted aluminum housing and 24-bit/48kHz conversion quality. It's rugged and portable with switches and knobs securely attached. It has 2 channels with XLR and 1/4" inputs, dual preamps with 48V phantom power, input meter, 1/4" TRS inserts, MIDI I/O, S/PDIF I/O, headphone jack, 1/4" balanced outputs, and USB port.

USB power means no looking for an outlet. The io|2 uses ultralow latency ASIO 2.0 drivers and comes with Cubase LE software. It's perfect for computer-based project studios, laptop-based portable recording setups, and electronic musicians.
