Alesis iO2 USB Audio Interface Product Description

Alesis iO2 USB Audio Interface is designed as the ideal Audio/MIDI companion to notebook computer-based recording environments, the iO2 USB has a compact form factor that can easily fit in a laptop case or small backpack. The iO2 USB features durable aluminum casing, USB power (eliminating cumbersome external power supplies) and is optimized for minimal laptop battery drain.


The iO2 provides 2-channels of pristine 24-bit/48kHz audio directly to your computer via the integrated USB interface and features 2 channels of switchable mic/line inputs. And with Hardware Direct Monitoring, you never have to worry about dealing with audio latency while recording.


Small enough to fit in a backpack, but powerful enough to get the job done right, the iO2 is perfect for musicians on the go.

Works Great As A Mobile Studio Interface. Review by Andy Edwards

Many units don't offer the real-time hardware monitoring and mix (hardware monitor / USB Audio) capabilities that this Alesis IO2 offers. Check out the other brand's specifications before purchasing. I love it because it's USB powered and includes Cubase LE with good mic pres.

Thanks for the recommendation on this Music Matter, hats off, your service and advice were both excellent! (Posted on 3/18/10)

This Alesis IO2 works great for live 2 channel stereo recording, and is an excellent (and very flexible) starter package for home-studio recording. (Posted on 2/18/10)

Good Laptop Interface Review by Pezza

I had never bought any alesis gear before, but I took the advice of the salesman I spoke to about trying out this io2 unit. All I can say is that, it was really easy to setup and use with my HP laptop and the audio quality is similar if not better than the Edirol UA-25 that it was replacing due to the UA getting covered in beer at a gig which was useful!
