Truly Portable, Completely Pro Digital Audio Hub
The Mobile I/O 2882 is a best in class FireWire interface that provides 18 inputs and 20 outputs of comprehensive, simultaneous I/O. The 2882+DSP is the only unit in its class with an on-board processing chip, allowing you to use world renowned Metric Halo signal processing effects without sacrificing your computer's processing power.This one rack space audio interface has the ability to run entirely from the FireWire bus of a laptop computer or from any DC power source (9V-30V), making it truly and completely mobile.
All Mobile I/Os have a SHARC DSP chip onboard that powers the versatile MIOConsole 80bit WIDE mixer, router, and control application. Use MIOConsole to route any input to any output, giving you more powerful mixing possibilities than any unit on the market. All channels have 24 bit, 96kHz converters, making this the perfect tool for digital recording. Add even more power to your rig with +DSP, Metric Halo's revolutionary approach to taking your processing plugins with you to rehearsals, the big show, or to the studio.
With 8 channels of mic/line/instrument analog inputs (all with individually selectable mic preamps and discrete phantom power), 8 channels of ADAT® I/O, and stereo AES/EBU and S/PDIF I/O, the Mobile I/O 2882 is truly the strongest interface in a market cluttered with imitators.
Songwriters can record and edit on the road, in their hotel, on the airplane, or wherever the inspiration hits. Or use 3 2882+DSPs chained together for 24 tracks of live concert recording with processing on all channels in 3 rack spaces. Location sound engineers can now capture the moment– anywhere, anytime. When you're done recording, use the 2882 in the studio as an extremely high quality audio interface to transfer your tracks into a DAW. You'll be amazed at the sound of this little box! And weighing only 7 pounds, and about the size of a laptop, you can be the first one out of the gig, with no hassle, just throw the Mobile I/O into your computer bag, and you're done!

+DSP OVERVIEW
MIO+DSP brings Metric Halo's world-renowned assignable DSP signal processing to the Mobile I/O FireWire audio world. Now available on the 2882+DSP and ULN-2+DSP models, MIO+DSP provides a full-featured, flexible signal processing environment that combines world-class signal processing plug-ins with ultra-low latency, incredible mixing, and exceptional converter quality.
Since the MIO+DSP environment is based upon the “Anywhere, Anytime” portable Mobile I/O hardware, you can apply MIO+DSP power whenever and wherever you want. The ultra-low latency of the signal processing environment allows you to pile on processing during tracking – even for foldback monitors, without incurring any delay to throw off the performance.
The heart of MIO+DSP is the +DSP Graph. This new environment provides instant access to all of the available signal processing plug-ins and processors. The Graph gives you free-form access to all the I/O and processors in your system, and allows you to configure signal routing with complete freedom and flexibility. Signals may be routed between processing chains, fed-back, and connected in ways that are simply impossible in other systems. All signals within the graph are automatically delay compensated, so no matter how complex your routing becomes, everything remains phase-aligned. This flexibility allows you to create unique and sophisticated signal processors from basic building blocks and more sophisticated algorithms.
MIO+DSP includes a bundle of exceptional signal processing plug-ins, so you can get right to work. The bundled plug-ins are focused on production audio, and include MIOComp, MIOEQ-6, MIOEQ-12, MIOLimit, MIO Mid/Side Processor, and of course, MIOStrip.
The processing algorithms in these plug-ins are completely new versions of Metric Halo’s much-loved signal processors. These new plugs take the best of the Metric Halo pedigree, incorporate carefully made changes based upon feedback from thousands of users to culminate in a set of exceptional sounding and easy-to-use signal processors. Since they are part of MIO+DSP, they are always available on your MIO – Anywhere, Anytime.
