DiGiGrid | IOX - Expansion Audio Interface

DiGiGridIOX “This high I/O-count audio interface can be used as your main audio interface or as an extensionto your system….” Download Spec Sheet Main Features Ideal for your studio’s performance/recording room, DiGiGrid IOX is a high-count I/O interface featuring 12 mic/line inputs with broadcast/studio-quality preamps and 6 line outputs. Audio I/O for Native DAWs 12 mic/line inputs with broadcast/studio-quality preamps 6 line outputs, 4 headphone outputs High-definition 192kHz ADC conversion Super-low latency: 0.8 milliseconds Connect with one Ethernet cable (Cat 5e/Cat 6) Ideal for your studio’s performance/recording room, DiGiGrid IOX is a high-count I/O interface featuring 12 mic/line inputs with broadcast/studio-quality preamps and 6 line outputs. With four customizable headphone outputs which allow individual mixes for each musician, the IOX delivers high-resolution monitoring whether you’re performing in the studio or listening in the control room. Plug the IOX into your SoundGrid network with a single Ethernet cable, and you will enter a new world of real-time tracking, mixing and monitoring. And that’s not all: With a SoundGrid DSP server on your network, you can run hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plugins from Waves and other developers, fully integrated within your DAW, with latency of only 0.8 milliseconds. DiGiGrid IOX Control Panel Clock settings: source, sample rate, type, status Mic preamp controls: input gains, phantom on/off Input and output meters Save and load presets of unit settings Save your settings along with your Waves and SoundGrid host application sessions For further information on how to use the control panel, see the DiGiGrid IOX manual. DiGiGrid IOX Control Panel – Clock Settings DiGiGrid IOX Control Panel – Controls Native DAW with a DiGiGrid IOX This setup shows a typical studio setup that includes a host computer with a Native DAW and a single I/O interface connecting mics, instruments, headphones and monitors. DiGiGrid IOX Host computer with a Native DAW One host computer, DiGiGrid IOX and a SoundGrid DSP server You probably want to run more plugins. Perhaps you want to record small ensembles and then mix with a large number of plugins, or record and monitor with very low latency. By adding a SoundGrid DSP server to your SoundGrid network you can offload your audio processing. This greatly increases the number of plugins you can use simultaneously. Plus, it enables you to use the eMotion ST mixer, which lets you create personalized monitor mixes from your DAW mix and from outside sources, and also allows you to open 64 StudioRacks and use them for low-latency monitoring. DAW (Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, Logic, etc.) with SoundGrid Studio installed High-count input SoundGrid I/O with four headphone outs – DiGiGrid IOX SoundGrid DSP Server One Host Computer, One I/O with a DSP Server, One Expansion I/O Unit, One DAW Need more I/O channels? Need to run more plugins? need super-low latency recording with plugins in real time? By adding the IOS's built-in DSP server to your SoundGrid network you can offload your audio processing. This greatly increases the number of plugins you can use simultaneously. Plus, it enables you to use the eMotion ST mixer, which lets you create personalized monitor mixes from your DAW mix and from outside sources, and also allows you to open 64 StudioRacks and use them for low-latency monitoring. DAW (Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, Logic, etc.) with SoundGrid Studio installed Multi-input SoundGrid I/O device with server – DiGiGrid IOS SoundGrid expansion I/O – DiGiGrid IOX One host computer, DiGiGrid IOX and a DiGiGrid IOC Add a DiGiGrid IOC and you pick up another 2 mic inputs, 16 AES inputs and outputs, 8 line inputs and outputs ADAT I/O, and 2more individual headphone outputs. Connect the IOC to the built-in Ethernet switch on the rear of the IOX. You can add up to eightSoundGrid I/O devices to a single host. Each of these can be accessed by any computer on the network. Audio and clock pass through the same Ethernet cable. This means of distributing clock is called “Sync over Ethernet” (SoE) and isused between all SoundGrid devices. To clock the entire network to an external clock source such as house sync, use Word Clock or Digital In as clock master for the IOX. If the IOX is the SoE master, then the entire network will be locked to this external source. Running Various DAWs Simultaneously Using a Single DiGiGrid IOX This configuration is for running audio from multiple DAWs simultaneously and mixing them in real time. DiGiGrid IOX Host computer with Native DAW Computer 2 – Native DAW Computer 3 – Native DAW Computer 4 – Native DAW 1 GB network switch Each of the four computers is connected to the DiGiGrid IOX via a 1 GB network switch using a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cables. Every computer in a SoundGrid network uses the SoundGrid driver to stream audio into the SoundGrid network. In this setup the main host computer running the SoundGrid Studio Application patches between all host computers within the network and configures their ASIO/Core Audio driver ins and outs.
