The IK Multimedia AXE I/O SOLO is an audio interface designed to achieve professional recording quality of your guitar, vocals or other instrument, whether at home or in the studio.
With its 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution, it guarantees precise sound capture, reproducing every nuance of playing with fidelity.
The high-speed USB Type-B connector ensures a stable and fast connection with your computer, whether macOS or Windows, thus facilitating integration into your workflow.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the AXE I/O SOLO is its ability to optimize guitar recording thanks to advanced technical features such as the Z-TONE function which allows you to adjust the impedance of your guitar in order to sculpt the sound according to your preferences. PURE mode provides a transparent preamp for uncolored sound capture, while JFET mode adds subtle harmonic richness, ideal for guitar recordings.

In addition, the AXE I/O SOLO features a Class A microphone input, this input offers a wide dynamic range, ensuring faithful capture of the entire tonal range of your instrument or voice.

The interface's balanced line outputs also offer a wide dynamic range of 113 dB(A) and minimal harmonic distortion, essential for distortion-free sound reproduction, as does the headphone output, with its extended frequency response, which is ideal for precise monitoring.

Another major advantage of the IK Multimedia AXE I/O SOLO is its ability to simplify re-amplification and sound modeling via its Amp Out output, which makes it easy to connect the interface to an amp to create precise tone models. Particularly useful for guitarists using high-gain amps, this output is designed to minimize noise and eliminate ground loops.

Finally, the AXE I/O SOLO offers advanced control through its "control panel" application that allows you to manage inputs/outputs, adjust monitoring parameters and configure external controllers, thus optimizing your workflow.
