The PlayAUDIO1U sets itself apart with its innovative failover protection system. By integrating two computers directly into the interface, it ensures that your show goes on uninterrupted, even in the event of a computer failure. In the blink of an eye, the PlayAUDIO1U seamlessly switches to your backup computer, allowing your backing tracks to continue playing in perfect timing and keeping your MIDI gear connected. Say goodbye to the fear of silent shows and embrace the confidence of a flawless performance.
With high-resolution audio and up to 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA conversion, the PlayAUDIO1U ensures that the studio-quality sound translates perfectly to the live arena. Immerse your audience in crystal-clear, detailed audio that captures every nuance of your sound.
With the PlayAUDIO1U, you can rest assured that your audience hears only the highest quality audio. The interface's audio protection feature prevents unwanted noise from corrupt audio sources/files from reaching the audience, ensuring a pristine sound experience. Additionally, the USB MIDI host port offers up to 8 ports worth of USB MIDI for Class Compliant controllers and modules, while the DIN-MIDI and Ethernet MIDI ports provide even more connectivity options for MIDI devices, including long-distance connections.
Built from the ground up with the touring musician in mind, the PlayAUDIO1U boasts a rugged and durable design. Its 12 balanced panel reinforced XLR outputs provide reliable connectivity, while the integrated +48v phantom power protection safeguards your interface against accidental damage when plugging into consoles or stage boxes. Additionally, the 1/4" TRS stereo headphone output with dedicated control allows for convenient monitoring on stage.
The PlayAUDIO1U offers versatile connectivity options to suit your specific needs. With two USB-C type ports, you can easily connect your computing devices for seamless integration. The interface also features automatic and manual computer switching modes, enabling lightning-fast transitions between connected computers. Furthermore, the two-button "Control" footswitch inputs/outputs can be mapped to MIDI functions, granting you control over numerous functions on the interface or sending control messages to compatible devices.
Included with the PlayAUDIO1U is iConnectivity's Auracle 2.0 software – a powerful and intelligent application that allows you to tailor the interface's settings to your exact requirements. With Auracle, you can effortlessly create a sophisticated live integration of all audio and MIDI connections, inputs, and outputs.
