IOx Option Card
Overview
Add more analog and digital inputs and outputs local to your mixing position. The IOx Option Card is an option for the VENUE FOH Rack and Mix Rack that gives you more I/O flexibility at the console mixing position, offering eight AES digital inputs and outputs (through XLR connectors) and eight pairs of analog inputs and outputs (through 1/4-inch TRS connectors).
Use it to connect digital and analog outboard equipment such as CD players and recorders, dynamics processors, EQs, and crossovers. Then take complete digital control of your connected digital and analog I/O, which are fully recallable and fully routable through VENUE software.
With FOH Rack, simply install the IOx card into any dedicated option slot to increase the standard I/O. With Mix Rack, the IOx card occupies the first available I/O slot, reducing the number of I/O slots by one. This means you can use a total of four I/O cards to still support up to 48 mic preamp inputs in addition to your IOx card.
The IOx Option Card is an option for the VENUE FOH Rack and Mix Rack, which are interchangeable components and part of a complete VENUE live sound system.
