Description

The PlayAUDIO2U by iConnectivity is a USB Audio + MIDI interface designed for reliable playback switching between two computers in live performance environments. It offers dual USB-C DAW ports, 24 balanced XLR analog outputs, and integrated MIDI connectivity through both DIN ports and Ethernet RTP-MIDI. The device fits into a standard 19" rack and supports up to 24-bit/96kHz audio conversion, making it suitable for high-quality audio routing in real-time.

Its front panel includes a high-resolution OLED display, programmable control buttons, and a rotary encoder for intuitive navigation. The interface supports up to eight USB MIDI devices through host ports and includes two footswitch ports for added hands-on control. A dedicated headphone output with two independent mixes allows for precise monitoring. Setup and configuration are handled through the included Auracle X software, which also enables firmware updates and failover management. Both automatic and manual failover options are supported, offering a straightforward solution for playback continuity.
