Each knob, feature, and component on the IK Multimedia AXE I/O ONE USB recording interface was carefully selected for the demanding guitar and bass player. A JFET input with continuously variable Z-Tone impedance, alongside switchable settings for active and passive pickups, provides the ideal front end for each of your instruments in the included TONEX SE and AmpliTube 5 SE. Transparent converters and a low-jitter clock deliver your performance in full 24-bit/192kHz hi-fi to your DAW of choice. And features such as a dedicated re-amp output make the AXE I/O ONE the only piece of gear you’ll need on your desk. Factor in 140 amp, cab, and stomp models, and with the IK Multimedia AXE I/O ONE, you’ve got all you need to translate your riffs and ideas into polished, marketable productions. A professional-grade headphone amplifier completes the package.
A Powerful Guitar Front End
JFET mojo. PURE clarity.
Pedal builders and recording engineers have long known the punch and harmonic sweetness running a JFET preamp into an amp can impart. If you’re looking to add some analog mojo to your digital amps and stomps, the AXE I/O ONE’s JFET input stage can help. On the other hand, if you’re looking for maximum clarity and headroom, AXE I/O ONE’s switchable PURE circuitry nets you accuracy and clarity with a balanced frequency response of 5 Hz to 32kHz.
For active and passive pickups
Whether you play vintage singles or modern active humbuckers, the AXE I/O ONE yields the best results for every guitar in your collection.
Variable Z-Tone impedance
One of the AXE I/O ONE’s defining features is its Z-Tone variable impedance. This control allows you to shape the tone of your guitar to best suit every amp and stomp model in your virtual amp collection.
A Comprehensive Recording Solution
Class A mic preamps
A Class A mic preamp equips the AXE I/O ONE for full-fledged song production. Onboard +48-volt phantom power readies these preamps for today’s condenser mics.
Transparent digital conversion
The challenge in guitar modeling is accurately capturing the instrument’s nuance and dynamics on the way in. The AXE I/O ONE’s ultra-low conversion jitters are more than capable of translating the attack, definition, and frequency response of your guitar or bass into the digital environment.
High-current headphone amp
A reference-grade headphone output in the AXE I/O ONE is your ticket to mix translation and more enjoyable practice sessions.
Loaded with Extras
Dedicated re-amp output
Want to send your direct tone out to a real amp or stomps down the production line? Want to monitor yourself through a live amp as you track for accurate response and feedback? The AXE I/O ONE’s dedicated re-amp out makes it possible. No complex routing required.
Dedicated controller inputs
A pair of dedicated controller inputs allow you to connect up to two expression pedals or two single/double switches for controlling AmpliTube or other software in real time.
