Echo Indigo IO

offers one stereo 1/8 in. analog input and output on a Type II Cardbus card powered by your notebook computer. Echo Indigo IO combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 ft. audio cable for RCA or 1/4 in connections. Notebook pro audio recording has never sounded so good, or been this convenient and affordable.

A unique feature of Echo Indigo IO is the use of "virtual" outputs. Indigo IO appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Indigo IO's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Indigo IO compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through Indigo IO at the same time.

10/19/2011 - Features are minimal, which is fine. Stereo in, stereo out, with the out capable of driving small headphones or earbuds, which we use to monitor the pavement noise we're recording. Small and simple is GOOD. I do wish it had an input level control, as it relies on Windows to control the recording gain. Only slight drawback is lack of an input level control. However, at this price point the necessary electronics to do that might compromise the accuracy, so it's understandable.

04/14/2011 - I installed the latest version 6.10 drivers running under Windows XP on my new 1.4GHz Millennium Centrino laptop — the reason for the high driver version number is that Echo use the same core code for their other soundcards. These drivers will run on Windows Me, 2000 or XP, while Mac owners are catered for by the version 1.3 drivers for Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar). To control the internal mixing of the virtual outputs, Echo supply their familiar Console 3 'virtual control surface' (the '3' denoting its third-generation status), which has peak-reading meter displays for each virtual output device, software faders to mix them together, mute buttons, and stereo gang buttons to lock channel pairs together. There's an identical set of controls for the overall analogue output of all three Indigo models, while the new DJ model has an additional buss select 'A 1-2' or 'A 3-4' option, so you can create a separate mix of all eight outputs to be sent to each discrete physical output, and the IO model has an extra pair of channels for the analogue input. The same versatile zero-latency monitoring options are available as for the entire Echo range, and for PC owners there's an additional page where you can set the GSIF buffer size if using Gigastudio.

10/07/2010 - I have the Layla Laptop, but I do a lot of travel and the layla is too big to pull out on an Airplane. The Indigo I/O is perfect for me to mix and edit the music I am working on and it sounds just as good as the Layla Laptop. I am very happy with this addition to my studio.

08/13/2010 - You can't ask for better sound reproduction out of a laptop card. Clean, concise and true. Throw it in your laptop breifcase and go. Great portability allows me to work anywhere.
