The World's Best Audio Interfaces Just Keep Getting Better!
The Original and Still the Best
Originally released in 2001, the Mobile I/O 2882 truly is the first digitally controlled FireWire interface designed specifically for the Macintosh.
The Granddaddy of them all, the 2882 just keeps getting better. A
seminal piece of gear, the feature set of the 2882 represents a list of
firsts in the industry. The 2882 was the first Mac-only FireWire
interface on the market and was the first bus-powerable FireWire
interface ever - 7 years and counting! It is also the first (and only)
FireWire interface to offer onboard fully instantiable DSP processing
with our unique +DSP processing environment. The first 96k FireWire
interface, and the first to feature digitally controlled analog stages,
the 2882 has inspired an entire genre of gear.
Take a look at some other products on the market and you are sure to
find numerous features and approaches originally invented by Metric
Halo. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and as
we look around the now-crowded FireWire interface market, weぴけねせe happy
to say that weぴけねせe truly flattered!
Now, with the introduction of the 2882 Expanded, with integrated 2d Card, the 2882 jumps ahead of its competition again.
Features:
- 8 Mic/Line/Instrument analog inputs
- 8 analog outputs on balanced TRS connectors
- 24/96k converters on all channels
- 8 channels of ADAT I/O (switchable to TOSLINK)
- Headphone amp with front panel mute/dim
- Full front-panel metering
- Remote level control on all channels
- AES-S/PDIF Digital I/O with selectable SRC
- v.5 Configurable mixer for near-zero latency mixing and routing
- Metric Haloぴけねぜ unique instantiable +DSP processing
- DC power system for wall, FireWire bus, and battery operation world-wide
- Total recall with MIO Console
- OS X drivers with multi-box support
- Compact, convenient, and the best value in pro-audio today!
At Home in Any Situation
2882 Expanded is the
perfect tool for capturing audio wherever inspiration hits, in the
studio or on the road. Well suited to any recording situation, you can
record and edit on the road, in the hotel, on the airplane, or wherever
inspiration hits. Use 3 2882s 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 � anywhere, anytime.
When
you aredone recording, use the 2882 in the studio as an extremely high
quality audio interface to transfer your tracks into a DAW. You willbe
amazed at the sound of this little box! And weighing only 5 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 aredone!
The 2882ぴけねぜ pristine inputs and outputs, coupled with Metric Haloぴけねぜ exclusive Character
processing, provide flexibility and sound quality unavailable on any
other interface. You can transition from a wire-with-gain to a gooey
tube pre with one click of the mouse, and every input can have the
right character for the material you are recording.
The
2882 Expanded is the only unit in its class with an on-board processing
engine that supports fully instantiable processing, allowing you to use
Metric Haloぴけねぜ world-renowned signal processing effects without
sacrificing your computerぴけねぜ processing power or introducing any
additional latency in your monitor path. From MIOStrip to HaloVerb, the
2882 Expanded comes with all the basic production processing you need.
And remember, 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.
Organically Scalable
A unique feature of the Mobile I/O system is that MIOぴけねぜ work well individually or as a group. Mix and match 2882 and ULN-2
units to create a system that meets your needs for track count and
preamp power. Adding a unit to the system organically increases the DSP
power of the system, so that your DSP always scales with your I/O.
Break your system up for small gigs when playing out or add the units
of your mates to build a huge system when required. By standardizing on
Mobile I/O, each member of the band can have ultimate quality while
working alone, and the band can have huge track counts when playing
together. You canぴけねそ lose!
Stand-alone Operation
Flexible
signal routing and sophisticated patch and preset management systems
are also featured in the 2882 Expanded, including two separately
addressable boot states for standalone operation. 2882ぴけねぜ front-panel
recall system allows the unit to function equally as well as a
stand-alone Mic Pre/Converter system. In standalone mode, the 2882
operates with the converters directly routed to and from the AES/SPDIF
I/O, ADAT or TOSLINK.
As a standalone
converter, the 2882 provides a 24bit/96kHz stereo front-end with 8
great sounding utility mic pres for any recording system. It also
functions seamlessly as a digital monitor controller, making it ideal
as digital headphone amp and studio monitor controller.
Applications
The
2882 Expanded supports a variety of applications. For studio recording,
it provides a very high quality interface to a DAW, offering sound
processing or simple file transfer between workstations. Its
exceptional sound quality is the perfect complement to the studioぴけねぜ
existing analog to digital conversion chain. Songwriters and engineers
can use the 2882 Expanded to record and edit on the road, in the hotel,
while traveling, or anywhere that inspiration strikes.
The
2882 Expanded is suitable for broadcast applications, too. It offers
instant playback of two individual stereo sends for music cues or sound
effects. The compact package and portable power features mean that the
unit can go anywhere users need to work, and make on-site fixes or edit
location recordings without the need to send files back to the studio,
saving valuable time before air.
In the live
performance arena, in addition to operating as a remote recorder for
archiving performances or to play out backing tracks and musical cues,
the 2882 Expanded can operate as a soft-synth mixer and I/O interface.
The 2882 Expanded is also a great addition to a live sound engineerぴけねぜ
setup, providing a simple and efficient tool for analysis and system
venue tuning with SpectraFoo. Click here for more information
