I/O-Core 24f
The I/O-Core 24f is a versatile audio processing unit designed to operate in both core and peripheral modes. It shares the same hardware as the Core 24f, with the primary difference being its configuration in Peripheral Mode. This mode allows the I/O-Core 24f to handle local input/output connections and interface with Q-LAN components, providing a streamlined and efficient solution for audio processing needs. To switch its configuration to Peripheral Mode, follow the steps in Switching Modes.
Features
- Eight Mic/Line Inputs
- Eight Line outputs
- Eight flex audio channels (software configurable as either a Mic/Line input with phantom power, or a Line Level output)
- Audio-to-USB Bridging for integration with soft-codec applications for host PC
- Control connectivity via GPIO and RS232
