Steinberg IXO12 — Ultra-Portable USB-C Audio Interface with Yamaha Preamps, Loopback & iOS Support

The Steinberg IXO12 is a sleek, bus-powered USB-C audio interface built for content creators, mobile musicians, and podcasters who demand professional-grade audio in a lightweight, portable format. Whether you're recording vocals, tracking guitar, or streaming on-the-go, the IXO12 delivers plug-and-play simplicity with a pristine sound and cross-platform flexibility.

Crystal-Clear Yamaha Preamps and 192kHz Recording

At the heart of the IXO12 is a premium Yamaha D-PRE mic preamp, ensuring ultra-low noise and rich, detailed sound. Capture every nuance of your performance in up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution, whether you're working on music, podcasting, or live streaming. The combo XLR/TRS input accommodates microphones or instruments, with phantom power for studio condensers.
