General

The Icon AIO 6 is a USB MIDI studio controller and USB audio interface rolled into one, equipped with seven faders, five encoder knobs, a jog wheel and numerous buttons - all MIDI-assignable, of course. The controller is a great match for DAWs such as Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Logic Pro and Ableton Live, but can also be used with other DAWs, as long as they support MIDI. If you're looking for an all-in-one solution for your home studio, but don't have that much room to spare, this is it!

Characteristics of the AIO 6

The AIO 6 offers all the analogue and digital inputs and outputs you need, which makes it the ultimate all-rounder for amateur producers. A built-in 24-bit, 96/192kHz audio interface ensures that neither the inputs nor the outputs suffer any audio quality loss. The illuminated controls don't just look great, they also make it easy to operate the AIO 6 in the dark. Digital inputs and outputs come in the shape of USB, S/PDIF and MIDI.

icon AIO 6 USB MIDI studio controller/audio interface
Wrote the following about icon AIO 6 USB MIDI studio controller/audio interface
Heb de interface een aantal dagen in gebruik en ben er erg blij mee. Ik werk met Logic pro en dat werkt prima samen, een van de redenen dat ik deze heb gekocht is dat ik er 2 hoofdtelefoons op kan aansluiten en onafhankelijk van elkaar kan bedienen.

Ik werk voor het produceren met een studio hoofdtelefoon en voor het "normale" muziek luisteren met een extra bas hoofdtelefoon.

Ook is het een mooi apparaat als controller voor mijn DAW, makkelijk met het jog wiel en de toewijsbare knopjes.

Een minpuntje is dat de knopjes van plastic zijn, het had mooi geweest als dit van alu was geweest.
Maar ja dat zijn details :)
Wil je een compact handig apparaat met 2 hoofdtelefoon aansluitingen dan moet je deze hebben!
