Hear What You've Been Missing

A sonic improvement over its audio interface predecessors, HD I/O features premium A/D and D/A conversion, so you can achieve higher audio fidelity, extensive dynamic range, super-low jitter, and the absolute lowest possible latency in your sessions. With certain configurations, you also get built-in sample rate conversion and a soft clip feature for worry-free recording. And using Curv, a new built-in soft-knee limiter that catches even the fastest transients, you can track hotter signals and smooth out inconsistent levels from incoming sources.

Adaptable I/O

The HD I/O 16x16 is the ideal choice for music productions—get the maximum complement of analogue inputs and outputs (can be customized by replacing a card, but not expanded). Onboard I/O as follows:

High-quality analogue I/O:
