Steinberg IXO12 USB-C Audio Interface (White)

Steinberg IXO12 Overview

Portable Recording and Streaming Audio Interface for Your Laptop or iPad

Compose and record music, stream content, create podcasts, and make location recordings with the white Steinberg IXO12, a remarkably compact and lightweight 2x2 USB-C audio interface that transforms your iPhone, iPad, Windows, or Mac computer into a truly mobile recording studio. Capture high-quality 192 kHz / 24-bit audio with an XLR-combo preamp for dynamic and condenser microphones, a 1/4" Hi-Z input for guitars, and line input for keyboards or other instruments. Connect monitor speakers and headphones to hear your audio with no distracting echo thanks to latency-free, hardware-based monitoring. The Loopback function makes live streaming simple, so you can share your music, podcasts, or games with the world in real time.

Because the IXO12 is USB-C powered, you can simply plug it into your computer or iPad using a USB-C cable. And with its small size, you can slip this interface in your bag and take it anywhere for capturing spontaneous jams to recording high-quality podcasts on the go. Get started with the included Cubase AI and Cubasis LE, two powerful recording software options to create and edit your music or content.
