CALGARY, Alberta – January 13, 2025 – iConnectivity today announces the highly anticipated follow-up to the industry-standard PlayAUDIO1U, the new PlayAUDIO2U. Building on a reputation of made-to-tour live performance solutions, the PlayAUDIO2U sets a new benchmark for professional touring rigs with a powerful 24 balanced XLR output configuration and four pristine, ultra-low noise microphone preamps. The PlayAUDIO2U interface maintains and improves upon iConnectivity's famous redundancy failover protection for touring musicians, production companies, and any live event where failure is not an option.
The PlayAUDIO2U introduces not only an expanded output count of 24 panel-reinforced XLR outs but also integrates versatile new concepts into iConnectivity's PlayAUDIO range. Four pristine, studio-quality inputs are perfect for injecting vocals, guitars, synths, and other instruments for live processing—all while enjoying iConnectivity's famous redundancy protection.
iConnectivity has always been known for robust MIDI integration. The PlayAUDIO2U is the first of iConnectivity's interfaces to feature built-in MIDI control via integrated control buttons on the front panel of the interface, allowing convenient, hands-on control of your performance.
The physical build of the PlayAUDIO2U might be its most revolutionary innovation, combining extensive inputs, outputs, and extreme MIDI connectivity into one rugged 2U rackable enclosure. All I/O ports are specially reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily touring—designed to be plugged directly into stage boxes and house sound systems every day. You can say goodbye to complex, fragile setups. Now building a reliable touring rig is as simple as installing a single PlayAUDIO2U in a rack.
PlayAUDIO2U by iConnectivity has arrived. It synthesizes iConnectivity’s vast experience with the PlayAUDIO12, the PlayAUDIO1U, and direct user feedback, introducing a powerful, comprehensive set of tools that provide flexibility and scalability across all live applications.
"With the PlayAUDIO1U, we refined the idea of a live performance interface. The PlayAUDIO2U builds on everything that made the PlayAUDIO name an industry standard, serving up a comprehensive solution that will scale with you," says Al Joelson, VP of Sales and Marketing. "This interface is designed to give users a powerhouse set of tools for their live performance, with the ease of use and reliability that has made iConnectivity the go-to brand in professional performance interfaces."
