ECHO Indigo IOX soundcard

Description

The Echo Indigo IOx
provides a stereo 1/8" analog input and output for your windows or macintosh notebook computer.

The interface combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters for more robust audio quality. Also included is a 6' audio cable for RCA or 1/4" connections enabling connectivity to the Apple iPod and other MP3 players. The Indigo IOx features PCI Express performance so it's ASIO, WDM, GSIF and WaveRT compatible and fits your notebook's Expresscard Slot.

A unique feature of the Indigo IOx is the use of "virtual" outputs. Indigo IOx appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Indigo IOx's console software and its on-board DSP. This makes the Echo Indigo IOx compatible with all popular multitrack software. And, with Echo's multiclient drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through the Indigo IOx interface at the same time.
