ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching: The interface features two network ports for ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching compliance.
Sample Rates: From 44.1 to 192 kHz (PCM) at a 32-bit resolution.
NMOS: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is capable of registering itself onto an NMOS server and complying with connection requests from a compliant NMOS Network Manager such as VideoIPath from Nevion (NMOS IS-04 and NMOS IS-05).
SMPTE ST2110: Merging Technologies has implemented ST2110 and AES67. MERGING+ANUBIS SPS meets the demanding requirements of JT-NM and is self-certified.
RAVENNA/AES67 Built-In: Using RAVENNA/AES67, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is able to flexibly connect to every single input and output across standard networks, using off-the-shelf network equipment.
DC- or POE-Powered, or Both: Protect your production with audio-network seamless switching and power switching. Connect MERGING+ANUBIS SPS to DC and POE power supplies. Should one fail, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS will switch to the other seamlessly.
Switch Mode: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS can be used in switch mode instead of redundant ST2022-7 mode, removing the necessity to have a network switch in scenarios where a DAW simply needs to be connected to the interface for mobile recording.
Accessible and Controllable Remotely: Anubis' configuration, presets, and features are completely accessible remotely for very fast troubleshooting and deployment.

Q: 2. Can this be externally powered from an A/C source?

A: Yes, as long as it is 9VDC with a positive sleeve and at least 500mA.

Q: 3. Will this work on my MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and recording to garage band?

A: Hey Paul, Yes, the iRig Pro I/O will be Mac compatible and work with software like GarageBand.

Q: 4. How would I connect a USB keyboard controller to the iRig Pro I/O when using it with an iPhone X and running Garageband iOS? Thanks

A: If you keyboard controller is MIDI compatible, you can connect it to the iRig Pro using the included MIDI cables. The product manual shows the included cables on page 3 and the connections for a keyboard controller on pages 6 and 7. Here is a link to the manual: https://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/375138.pdf

Q: 5. Does the Irig Keys49 control all multimedia software?

A: No, the IK Multimedia iRig Keys I/O - Controller/Audio Interface for iPhone, iPad, and Mac/Windows will not provide control functionality for all multimedia software. This keyboard offers control of parameters and functionality for software that accepts MIDI control specifically.

A: Either platform will work great. The iRig Pro I/O can be used with Zoom on iOS or Skype, Zoom, or any other app which allows digital audio input. Personally, I suggest Mac for more options, but you could really utilize both. When you are home use Mac or when you're away use iOS.

Q: 8. I'm looking for a way to input a voice message, which has been processed in iZotope software, onto a standard answering machine, with the goal of having a clean outgoing message. Is the JK Audio AutoHybrid interface the way to achieve this? If not, what device would do the job? Thanks....

A: This should work for your proposed application.

Q: 9. Can you use this to record Skype calls into your DAW i.e., Garageband?

A: The best way to do that would be to have the Skype coming in from a mobile device like your smartphone or tablet and connect it to one of the line inputs on the M2 using a cable like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/157944-REG/Comprehensive_XLRP_MPS_6ST_XLRP_MPS_6ST_EXF_Stereo_Mini.html You would be able to adjust the level between the Skype call and the microphone that you would have connected to the Motu M2 interface.

Q: 10. If I were to run this connected from a mixer to an iPhone for streaming purposes, could I use phantom power from the mixer to power the iRig?

A: The iRig is not able to be powered via Phantom Power at this time. The iRig Pro I/O can however offer Phantom power to a connected Condenser Mic.

[15 W (Maximum)] What I love the most of this product is it comes with great sounding plugins and enough power, 6 dsp for managing several reverb (Lexicon+chambers for ex.) sends/returns and still use 1176 or studer or la2a on single tracks. If you organize you can work with 6 dsp fine. I also love i could connect an Alesis Reverb Hardware via ADAT!!! Amazing. I have also an QS8 Alesis keyboard. I wish I could connect both units, but although it has 2 ADAT I/O it´s not possible to do so, only 1. Bummer. The interface, the quality of plugins is top. Totally recommended! 5

[15 W (Maximum)] Connected digital mixer to iPad and it worked like a champ!! 5

[5.1 lb] Outstanding interface with professional sound and low latency kicks my previous interface to the curb. A breeze to set up and runs great on my late 2013 MacBook Pro (which I also got at B&H). Also gives you access purchasing amazing (and addictive) Plug-ins from the UAD Library. Besides sounding great, these run on the UAD hardware freeing your CPU from the task of running them. I'm ecstatic. Universal Audio is the leader and the X series is awesome. 5

[15 W (Maximum)] UA got it right! Great unit. The plugins are spot on. 5

Rob	01/08/2024
[5.1 lb] For years I had debated whether I needed “vintage“ gear for my home studio. Having just completed my first project with the Apollo x4 I can say it was absolutely worth the investment for me. The quad processing power is just right for my home studio, I have not maxed out the DSP yet. Since I don’t record drums or a full band at home, there is plenty of power here to handle a small group. More often I’ll use one or two inputs at a time. Two headphone outputs is important to me so that each musician gets their own mix. I ended up spending about another $2000 to get the full UAD set of plug-ins. I would have preferred to spend half that much now and add more down the road, but the economics work out that you get a much better deal when you purchase them upfront. I would have had about 10 plug-ins, but now I have all 66 and I have already used close to half of them. A lot of money for a home studio but if you purchased a dedicated tube preamp and compressor you’d spend a similar amount, and it would sound great but it wouldn’t be as flexible. It was easy to set up, for me it “just worked”. UA support took a couple of days to respond when I had a question but they gave a thorough response. UA has great videos on their website to help you learn how to use each plugin. The buying experience from B&H was excellent—it arrived in perfect condition a day earlier than I expected. It’s an investment, but if you are dedicated to learning how to use the equipment you will get professional results. I can strongly recommend. 5

[2] I bought this for it's thunderbolt connectivity as opposed to the model with usb-C connectivity I had planned on purchasing. It's working phenomenally with no latency issues and I'm loving the recording software, Luna, that is included with the purchase. 5

[192 kHz (PCM) ] I use this with my ipad 7th gen 10.2 for recording with minimal gear and it has produced a clean audio signal. i highly recommend the product and plus it comes with apps from the ikmultimedia website 5

Lawrence	14/07/2024
[192 kHz (PCM) ] Classy and modern professional grade Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for your computer. 6 SHARC cores give access to the many available UAD Plug-ins without draining your CPU. Easy to install and works flawlessly on my Late 2013 MacBook Pro (which I also bought at B&H). Expand with another Apollo or get a Satellite for more DSP power. Kicks my old interface to the curb. I'm 100% satisfied. 5

Wayne	05/07/2024
[192 kHz (PCM) ] This handy tool cleaned up our audio feed tremendously. 5

Eri	22/06/2024
[Knob] I've been using the Antelope Audio Orion 32+ Gen 4 for a few months since the release and it's become the backbone of my studio setup. This interface is a game-changer, especially for professional-grade audio production. 5
