Intellijel Audio has given its popular Audio I/O interface module for Eurorack, a 2023 makeover with major changes.
Having an audio interface module in the Eurorack is not essential but a handy tool. On the one hand, to route external signals in your Eurorack system at Euro level, but also to route signals out of your system at line level. It’s also an important companion when doing live performances with modular synths.
The Intellijel Audio I/O, one of the popular interface modules, has now been revised. They published a new 2023 version.
Intellijel Audio I/O (2023) (Press Release)
Audio I/O (2023) offers dual balanced ins and outs for the studio or the road. It allows you to interface your rack with the balanced line level world; send and return to pedals or desktop FX units; patch in and out of your DAW, external synths, drum machines, and other line-level instruments. Many areas of use where it makes sense to have an interface module.
The new 2023 version moves the TRS jacks to the top of the panel. Audio I/O (2023) features:
- 2 x Balanced TRS 1/4″ to Eurorack modular level input paths
- 2 x Eurorack modular level signals to Balanced TRS 1/4″ output paths
- 4 x six-stage analog led VU meter to monitor all inputs and outputs simultaneously
- Input path has up to 20 dB of gain, which allows you to patch in low-level consumer level signals and boost them.
- Output path steps a nominal Eurorack level (10 Vpp) down to +4 dBu with up to +6 dB gain
New Chain In / Chain Out Connectors
The module also has new chain in and chain-out connectors. The rear-mounted 3-pin CHAIN IN connector allows you to sum (in parallel) other audio sources to go from Eurorack level to the BAL LINE OUTPUTS. This could be from modules like the Mixup 3U, Xfade 1U, Stereo Mix 1U, and XY I/O 1U. You could also use this to connect with the 3-pin headers on the Palette and 7U cases audio i/o boards.
The rear-mounted 3-pin CHAIN OUT connector lets you directly connect the level-shifted BAL LINE IN to the inputs of other compatible devices such as the Mixup 3U, Outs 3U, Stereo Mix 1U, XY IO 1U, and Headphones v2 1U. You could also connect the to the TRS jacks of the Palette and 7U cases audio i/o boards.
