1622 I/O
16-Input, Low-Price Audio Interface for Synthesizers & Effects Gear

The 1622 I/O is the ideal audio interface for incorporating vast racks of line-level devices such as MIDI and effects gear into Pro Tools for mixing and recording. With 16 discrete input channels at a low price, the 1622 I/O provides a high-quality, cost-effective option for connecting your outboard gear into Pro Tools. The 16 analog inputs provide balanced or unbalanced 20-bit A/D conversion using tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connectors. An S/PDIF port capable of 24-bit digital I/O allows you to connect professional DAT recorders, CD players and other digital recording media.

Each input on the 1622 I/O has software-controllable gain to accommodate a wide variance of synthesizer/ sampler/effects unit output levels. These levels are stored in the memory of the 1622 I/O even when the unit is powered off. The 1622 I/O, in conjunction with Pro Tools software, also acts as a virtual patch bay, enabling you to change connections with just one click.

Completely recallable
With multiple I/O options available for Pro Tools|24 Digidesign delivers the reality of console replacement. When paired with ProControl and a combination of I/O peripherals, a Pro Tools|24 system becomes the central digital patchbay of the studio - one that is controlled through software and is completely recallable. The 1622 I/O is the latest addition to Digidesign's audio interface line, focusing on the mixing needs of musicians and audio professionals.

An ideal choice

These levels are stored in the memory of the 1622 I/O even when the unit is powered off. The 1622 I/O in conjunction with Pro Tools software also acts as a virtual patch bay, enabling you to change connections with just one click. These two features allow the 1622 I/O to work much like a hardware mixer for Pro Tools. Two 1622 I/O units provide 32 discrete inputs that equal the price and exceed the performance of many 2-channel 20-bit A/D converters or a 32-channel patchbay. Up to five 1622 I/O units can be used to provide 72 inputs for Pro Tools.

Whether you have racks of outboard processors, modules and samplers, or wish to use Pro Tools as the only mixer in the studio, the 1622 I/O is an ideal choice. When used with other interface options from Digidesign, it offers a powerful yet flexible I/O architecture for any mixing application. In addition, the 1622 I/O is the perfect audio interface for MIDI-based studios and working with Pro Tools' new enhanced MIDI capabilities.
