Midiman Announces Omni I/O

The Omni I/O by M Audio (msrp: $299.95) is a record/playback front end for the Delta 44 and Delta 66 interface cards, joining together to form a complete system capable of adapting to many studio scenarios and providing multiple solutions within one desktop environment. More than simply adding mic preamps to an audio card, the Omni I/O emulates a split console mixer design, making any routing scenario possible. The unit contains everything needed to record mics, guitars, keyboards and all other instruments, monitor playback, add effects, and mixdown.

Two mic/instr pre-amps can be switched to line input for a total of four line inputs. Use the direct outs, or route to the Omni I/Os extremely quiet mixer to add effects, blend in keyboards using the unity gain aux ins, and even reroute them to the inputs for recording. Monitor and mix with separate control room level, plus two headphone outs with individual level controls. A detailed user guide takes you step by step, making it easy to get the most out of the Omni I/O and your recording system.Features/Specs
