The best of everything you need, without the stuff you don't!

When Metric Halo introduced the ULN-8, people raved about the sonic quality, the features, and the power of its architecture. They also heard from the people who have their own "go to" mic pres, people who use analog consoles, and those that edit but don't record. They love the ULN-8 too, but didn't need the mic pres.

The LIO-8 incorporates the same Metric Halo Audio technologies in the ULN-8 including:

1. •192k sample rate support for both Analog and AES Inputs and Outputs
   

2. •New DC-coupled, zero phase distortion, servo balanced Line Inputs and Outputs
   

3. •Fully clickless remote controlled Monitor outputs. All LIO-8 analog outputs incorporate Metric Halo clickless remote technology allowing for flexible monitoring applications from stereo to 7.1 surround.
   

Expandability

As with all Metric Halo products, the LIO-8 features an upgrade path. Or two.

While the base configuration of the LIO-8 doesn't include mic pres, you can opt to have 4 or 8 channels of the same ULN-R mic pres as the ULN-8 included in your unit. The LIO can be ordered this way from the factory, or the pres can be installed later.

You can also choose to upgrade your processing by adding the +DSP license, which adds over 100 plug-ins to your LIO and gives you the ability to create and save complex processing "graphs" as well as access to factory supplied "macros" including processors, amp simulators and more. You can find out more about +DSP here. Adding +DSP to your LIO is easy, just put the software license code into MIO Console and your box is unlocked.
