Building on the success of the 3d variant, Metric Halo proudly present their mk IV range LIO8 featuring USB-C connectivity, built in DSP and lightning fast 4th generation converters.

Reduced latency

While the 3d range boasted impressive data transfer speeds, Metric Halo’s 4th generation is in a whole new league. The round-trip via LIO8 mk IV`s converters, mixer, DSP and monitoring stage measures an 85% latency improvement serving up lightning fast results across any digital audio workstation software.

Playing it cool

The mk IV variant of LIO8 also enjoys environmental improvements. Thanks to a cooler running temperature the interface consumer 40% less power than its predecessor reducing power costs.

Dolby Atmos-ready

Metric Halo’s mk IV line supports multi-source and multi-destination monitoring up to 7.1.4 configurations. This makes the LIO8 mk IV (and ULN8 mk IV) perfect partners for professional Atmos mixing applications.

The proprietary MIO Mixer offers flexible routing with the ability to direct any channel to any output, including routes back to the host or even to SCP ports.
