DiGiGrid IOS 8x8 Audio Interface with SoundGrid DSP Server

The DiGiGrid IOS is the most comprehensive all-in-one solution for Native DAW users, ideal for both professional and personal production studios. With a built-in SoundGrid DSP server for plugin processing and a network switch, IOS features 8 mic/line inputs with broadcast-grade preamps, 8 line outputs, 2 headphone outputs, MIDI I/O, and S/PDIF and AES outputs.

Need more I/Os? A single Cat 5e/Cat 6 Ethernet cable is all you need to connect additional SoundGrid components to your Network. By integrating with the SoundGrid studio system, the IOS lets you mix and monitor in real time using hundreds of your favorite SoundGrid-compatible Waves and third-party plugins, with super-low latency of only 0.8 milliseconds.
