IK Multimedia AXE I/O One

IK Multimedia offers another stellar product for the guitarists and bassists out there with AXE I/O One, a compact USB-C audio interface. Few interfaces are so well suited to guitars, but the AXE I/O line provides plenty of ways to pull the best sound out of your instrument. From variable impedance to the courtsey Amp output, AXE I/O has a lot to offer for the recording guitarist.

AXE I/O One, as the name suggests, features just a single input: a combination XLR and 1/4" input suitable for both microphones and instruments. For mics, phantom power is available for condensers, and plenty of gain is available to get the best sound possible.

But of course, this is the "AXE I/O One" so most of the cool features will be available for intstrument inputs. Notably, Z-Tone is a variable impedance control that shifts the feel and response of your pickups, allowing them to sound their best. Additionally, you'll find a switch to accommodate for active or passive pickups, as well as engage an optional JFET input stage for some tube-like enhancement.

As for monitoring, standard headphone and monitor outputs are available, with a variable level control to blend between direct input and DAW monitoring. For seamless recording of DIs or reamping down the road, the AXE I/O One features an Amp output, which passes your guitar along to your amp. There's also MIDI I/O for incorporating synths and MIDI controllers into your productions.

If you're primarily recording guitars, getting a guitar-first audio interface seems like a no-brainer! Give yourself the best tone and the recording flexibility you require with IK Multimedia's AXE I/O One.
