Metric halo hardware is now compatible with all Apple Intel Machines, other apple machines
The Mobile I/O 2882 is a best in class FireWire interface that
provides 18 inputs and 20 outputs of comprehensive, simultaneous I/O.
The 2882+DSP is the only unit in its class with an on-board processing
chip, allowing you to use world renowned Metric Halo signal processing
effects without sacrificing your computer's processing power.This one
rack space audio interface has the ability to run entirely from the
FireWire bus of a laptop computer or from any DC power source (9V-30V),
making it truly and completely mobile.
All Mobile I/Os have a Sharc DSP chip onboard that powers the
versatile MIOConsole 80bit WIDE mixer, router, and control application.
Use MIOConsole to route any input to any output, giving you more
powerful mixing possibilities than any unit on the market. All channels
have 24 bit, 96kHz converters, making this the perfect tool for digital
recording. Add even more power to your rig with +DSP, Metric Halo's
revolutionary approach to taking your processing plugins with you to
rehearsals, the big show, or to the studio.
With 8 channels of mic/line/instrument analog inputs (all with
individually selectable mic preamps and discrete phantom power), 8
channels of ADAT® I/O, and stereo AES/EBU and S/PDIF I/O, the Mobile
I/O 2882 is truly the strongest interface in a market cluttered with
imitators.
Songwriters can record and edit on the road, in their hotel, on the
airplane, or wherever the inspiration hits. Or use 3 2882+DSPs chained
together for 24 tracks of live concert recording with processing on all
channels in 3 rack spaces. Location sound engineers can now capture the
moment¤Ô¤¡¤¿¤¬anywhere, anytime. When you're done recording, use the
2882 in the studio as an extremely high quality audio interface to
transfer your tracks into a DAW. You'll be amazed at the sound of this
little box! And weighing only 7 pounds, and about the size of a laptop,
you can be the first one out of the gig, with no hassle, just throw the
Mobile I/O into your computer bag, and you're done!
MIOConsole
MIOConsole consolidates all of the controls for the Mobile I/O
hardware into one easy to use window. MIOConsole contains a powerful
and versatile hardware engine, an 80-bit multi-bus mixer that supports
near-zero latency mixing and routing of all inputs and outputs with
scaleable expansion, console style mixing, and DSP processing.
MIOConsole software automatically recognizes additional I/O boxes and
provides instant and total recall of all settings, including +DSP
plug-ins, micpre and input settings, complex and extensive routing, and
multibus mixer levels - regardless of the order in which the boxes are
connected.
MIOConsole is the nerve center of your Mobile I/O. Functioning as a
standalone application, MIOConsole provides full control of every
aspect of Mobile I/O. The console software allows you to rapidly and
easily adjust all of the input and output channel parameters, system
sample rate, digital I/O source, and system clock source. It also
allows you to assign any Mobile I/O input or DAW output to the
integrated 80-bit, fully interpolated, multi-bus, near-zero latency
hardware mixer.
MIOConsole Mixer
MIOConsole's powerful mixer supports both mono and stereo busses,
with solo and mute functions for all input and master channels. The
mixer bus outputs are routeable to any of the hardware outputs,
allowing you to create multiple simultaneous mixes for send/return
busses and multiple live main and monitor mixes. Various applications
include foldback support for multiple performers, separate monitor
feeds for studio, tape, and control room, and separate mixes for front
of house, archive recording, and monitors for live shows.
MIOConsole Mix/Ouput Routing
MIOConsole also contains a patchbay router, which allows you quickly
select the source being fed to any output. The patchbay provides easy
configuration of standalone operation, mix mults, direct outs and
various combinations thereof to suit the needs of the moment.
Analog I/O Control
MIOConsole Analog I/O Control displays System Status, Digital I/O
metering, and provides complete control for the 2882's analog I/O
stage. Select Mic, Line, or Instrument for your input level, adjust the
preamp levels, supply phantom power for mics, and then save the
settings for later, complete recall.
Instant and Total Recall
In order to simplify work flow and optimize the extent of system
control, MIOConsole supports comprehensive preset management on both a
global and individual control level. Global configuration snapshots
allow you to save each and every aspect of Mobile I/O's configuration
for later, total instant recall. This is useful for preconfiguring
Mobile I/O and bringing back the setup once at the gig, managing
separate location setups, or for saving complex studio routing setups
for quick changeover.
