Professional multi-channel audio and MIDI interface with redundancy failover protection for the live musician.<\/h2>\n

iConnectivity has announced the release of the new PlayAUDIO2U<\/a>, the highly anticipated follow-up to their PlayAUDIO1U interface.

A New Standard for Live MIDI Control<\/h2>\n

iConnectivity has always been known for robust MIDI integration. The PlayAUDIO2U is the first of iConnectivity’s interfaces to feature built-in MIDI control via integrated control buttons on the front panel of the interface, allowing convenient, hands-on control of your performance.<\/p>\n

The physical build of the PlayAUDIO2U might be its most revolutionary innovation, combining extensive inputs, outputs, and extreme MIDI connectivity into one rugged 2U rackable enclosure. All I\/O ports are specially reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily touring\u2014designed to be plugged directly into stage boxes and house sound systems every day. Say goodbye to complex, fragile setups – building a reliable touring rig is as simple as installing a single PlayAUDIO2U in a rack.<\/p>\n

The PlayAUDIO2U synthesizes iConnectivity\u2019s vast experiences with the PlayAUDIO12, PlayAUDIO1U and direct user feedback to introduce a powerful, comprehensive set of tools providing flexibility and scalability across all live applications.<\/p>\n

“With the PlayAUDIO1U, we refined the idea of a live performance interface,” says Al Joelson, iConnectivity’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “The PlayAUDIO2U builds on everything that made the PlayAUDIO name an industry standard, serving up a comprehensive solution that will scale with you.<\/p>\n

“This interface is designed to give users a powerhouse set of tools for their live performance, with the ease of use and reliability that has made iConnectivity the go-to brand in professional performance interfaces.”<\/p>\n
