At first glance, the IXO22 appears to be a simple USB 2.0 audio interface with two inputs and two outputs. A closer look, however, quickly reveals that Steinberg equipped the IXO22 with some thoughtful touches catered specifically to content creators, streamers, and recordists who demand more from their mobile rigs. These appointments include an incredibly easy-to-use Loopback function that makes livestreaming exceedingly convenient, latency-free input monitoring thanks to a direct monitor switch, and iPad/iPhone support in addition to Mac and PC. Steinberg’s typical build and sound quality are well represented in the IXO22: it comes with two combo mic/line inputs with studio-grade microphone preamps, a hi-Z input for electric guitars and basses, and two line outputs with 106 dB of dynamic range. The inclusion of Cubase AI, Cubasis LE, and Steinberg Plus means that you can start recording and creating within minutes of unpacking your IXO22. Finally, this interface supplies pro sound wherever you go due to its support for up to 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution.
