IK Multimedia AXE I/O USB Audio Interface
AXE I/O is a professional 2 in/5 out audio interface – and controller - designed specifically with the needs of the recording guitarist in mind, providing best-in-class sound quality and powerful features aimed squarely at making your recordings faster, easier and better than ever.
Active / Passive pick-up selector
AXE I/O's instrument input 1 offers an ACTIVE / PASSIVE pick-up selector. "Passive" offers the ideal input gain range for both single-coils and hum buckers, and "Active" bypasses unnecessary gain stages to keep your signal as direct, transparent and clean as possible.
PURE and JFET input circuits
AXE I/O's PURE input circuit offers 117 dB dynamic range and 3 - 32 kHz frequency response, for a completely uncolored sound. The JFET circuit adds a subtle harmonic enhancement, with a slight midrange focus and warmth, giving you more tonal options from the same instrument.
Z-Tone™ adjustable input impedance
AXE I/O’s Z-TONE™ circuit lets you dial in impedance from 1 MOhm down to 2.2 kOhms to radically re-shape the tone and feel of your instrument. At the maximum impedance, you’ll find your sound tighter, sharper and more precise. Increase the load and the sound becomes more thick and bold.
PURE mic preamps for transparent recording
AXE I/O offers two mic preamps with a wide, flat 5 Hz to 32 kHz frequency response to perfectly preserve the character of your vocals, acoustic guitar, or other instrument. They offer 116 dB of dynamic range to capture even the most delicate instrument, but easily pull back to record the loudest amp stack.
Record the perfect take
Many guitarists have tried to integrate their amps and stomps with recording setups only to discover it’s not an easy task! You used to need a DI box, a ground loop interrupter to prevent buzz and hum, and still have to constantly dis-connect and re-connect every time you switch between recording direct and recording your amp.
AXE I/O offers a simple, streamlined re-amplification setup in a single box, to save you time, money and energy and open up unlimited sonic flexibility.
Connect your amps and effects boxes
AXE I/O makes this easier than ever with its Amp Out. It features a dedicated ground-isolated low noise ¼” output right on the front panel.
Just record a track with a clean copy of your guitar’s signal into your recording software. AXE I/O makes it easy to record 3 ways: completely clean, using the included AmpliTube amp modeling software, or even while using your real rig. Focus on nailing the performance, and you can tweak your tone later.
Experiment with setups and settings
After you've recorded a track, output the clean signal to your amps or stomp boxes using the Amp Out, and mic them up into AXE I/O's mic preamps. Now you can easily experiment with different amp settings, stompbox effects, and even mic placements, listening to how they affect your sound in real-time.
Save countless hours and takes, without having to buy expensive direct boxes and splitter cables. AXE I/O makes re-amping easier than ever, and you'll love the results.
