IK Multimedia AXE I/O SOLO 2-in / 3-out USB Audio Interface + AmpliTube 5 Bundle
Description
AXE I/O Solo is a 2-in, 3-out USB audio interface that offers the same revolutionary features as IK’s award-winning AXE I/O, but at a more entry-level price.
Designed and manufactured in Italy, AXE I/O Solo offers one PURE ultra-transparent microphone
preamp (with phantom power), and one instrument input letting guitarists shape their tone in powerful new ways.
With an active/passive pickup selector, transparent PURE and warm JFET channels, and Z-Tone variable impedance control, AXE I/O offers unique tools to make recording guitar & bass more creative than ever.
AXE I/O Solo also offers the same best-in-class sound quality and 24-bit, 192 kHz operation as AXE I/O, and features 1/4” balanced outputs, a headphone out, and a ground-isolated Amp Out for Tone Modeling and integrating amps and pedals. Between its powerful tone-shaping input, easy amplifier output, and dedicated inputs for controller pedals, AXE I/O Solo blurs the lines between in-the-box and analog recording to give musicians a massive range of ways to create.
AXE I/O SOLO comes loaded with a massive bundle of software and plug-ins, so you have everything you need to track, mix and master your music right out of the box. AmpliTube 5 SE offers a massive range of amp & FX models, plus IK's new TONEX SE AI-powered Tone Modeling software lets you capture your real rig virtually. And a selection of T-RackS Singles and Ableton Live Lite 10 gets you up and recording instantly.
