Echo Indigo IO

Notebook pro audio recording has never sounded so good, or been this convenient and affordable. Indigo IO offers one stereo 1/8 inch analogue input and output on a Type II Cardbus card powered by your notebook computer. It combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 foot audio cable for RCA or 1/4 inch connections.

"One of the great advantages of the Indigo's design is that it takes up very little additional space when plugged in." "Subjective audio quality was also excellent, being a far cry from any laptop's motherboard sound chip, and the ASIO drivers performed right down to their lowest 3ms latency setting with no sign of audio glitching. The GSIF drivers also worked very well..." "Excellent value for money." "For my purposes, the Indigo IO proved the perfect companion for my new Centrino laptop, so I bought the review model." Martin Walker - Sound On Sound

A unique feature of the Indigo IO is the use of "virtual" outputs. Indigo IO appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Indigo IO's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Indigo IO compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through Indigo IO at the same time.
