CloseThe Interface that Actually FITS on Your Desktop!
On your desktop, you've got a computer monitor and a QWERTY keyboard. And if you're like 99% of us desktop computer users... you've got an empty space between the two. What do you put there? Can't put a pencil/pen holder - blocks the view. Can't put a notepad... hard to write over the top of your keyboard. Could put a pop-up calendar or something... but you're a musician... you're wanting to record... and you're trying to figure out how to MAXIMIZE your tight desktop real estate... without involving any clutter. What to do, What to DO, WHAT TO DO?
No need to panic. No need to blog about it. No need to put up an emo Facebook post about it, either. Lexicon has already thought about it, brainstormed about it, and designed the slick IONIX U22 audio interface to fit right into that vacant space on your desktop. Cool, right? We think so too. Essentially, it's a 2-in/2-out audio interface that connects straight to your trusty Mac or PC via USB. Since there are two awesome-sounding microphone preamps, you can record with two mics at once... so this IONIX U22 is perfect for all the singer/songwriters out there. Just the right amount of I/O, and none of those dust-collecting extras you won't need anyway and just drive up the price.
Two TRS outputs let you hook up a pair of studio monitors. And you've got a 1/4" headphone jack for plugging in your favorite set of 'phones and going to town. All in all, this baby is a real performer. And it gives you up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution... that's wayyyyyyyyyy better than CD-quality, so it's MORE THAN ENOUGH for any and every demo, internet release, or full-blown album project. This interface sounds amazing, period. And why wouldn't it? It's made by the pros at Lexicon who have been in the business since WHO KNOWS HOW LONG... everybody trusts 'em, and for good reason.
And speaking of Lexicon... you also get a sweet Pantheon II reverb plug-in included... made by, of course, Lexicon who are the KINGS of reverb. And to maximize your bonus value here, you get a copy of Steinberg Cubase LE4 recording software and even Toontrack EZdrummer Lite virtual drum software. Long story short, with the Lexicon IONIX U22 you've got all the hardware and software power you need to turn your ideas into real recorded, produced songs. Cool.
