The new interface has a hardware encoder for precise adjustment of the digital faders and a 10-inch multitouch LCD designed for clear viewing from any angle. The display uses an ARM Cortex-A7 processor. Highly sensitive virtual faders move smoothly with a light touch, and buttons respond to a gentle press. The interface also has a loopback function, clear 15-segment level metering and quick access to key functions. These include a -20 dB pad, instrument/microphone/line input selection, +48 V phantom power and polarity inversion for each channel.

Connections include four Neutrik XLR/TRS combo microphone/line/instrument inputs; four 3.6 mm TRS line outputs; eight channels of ADAT I/O; two headphone outputs with independent volume and monitoring controls; a USB-C port; and an additional UNI OTG connection. Computer control uses the included iO Pro software, which provides access to headphone levels, master outputs, direct monitoring and plug-ins for streaming or live performance.
