Ionic 24: The Stagebox Revolution
Each Ionic 24 Digital Stagebox brings 24 mic/line inputs and 12 line outputs of pristine audio, all over a single Ethernet cable. The advanced preamps deliver ultra-low latency and noise performance, with automatic gain tracking for seamless control.

Its modular architecture allows you to configure your I/O, DSP servers, and control surfaces exactly as needed. Integrate additional Waves SoundGrid servers or DAWs, and you’re instantly equipped for redundant mixing, recording, or virtual soundcheck setups.
