PlayAUDIO2U is a first-of-its-kind all-in-one solution built for modern live performance rigs. Designed to replace multiple interfaces, MIDI boxes, and backup systems, it integrates audio inputs and outputs, MIDI I/O, MIDI control, and RTP networking into a single, robust unit. Whether you’re running playback tracks, virtual instruments, or complex MIDI automation, PlayAUDIO2U simplifies your setup while dramatically increasing reliability.

Built with the realities of touring in mind, PlayAUDIO2U offers four pristine XLR/TRS combo inputs with ultra-low noise mic preamps and 48V phantom power, alongside an impressive 24 balanced, panel-reinforced XLR outputs that connect directly to snakes, looms, or stage boxes. High-resolution 24-bit/96kHz conversion ensures studio-quality sound on the biggest stages, while the advanced OLED display keeps critical system information visible at a glance.

At the heart of PlayAUDIO2U is iConnectivity’s legendary redundancy and protection technology. It actively monitors connected computers, audio streams, and MIDI data, instantly switching systems or muting outputs at the first sign of trouble – faster than the audience can hear.
