iConnectivity PlayAUDIO2U: The Ultimate Audio & MIDI Interface for Professional Live Performance

Modern live productions demand more than just great sound. They require rock-solid reliability, seamless computer redundancy, flexible MIDI routing and enough connectivity to handle increasingly sophisticated performance rigs. Whether you’re running backing tracks, virtual instruments, MIDI automation or live vocals, every component must perform flawlessly.

The iConnectivity PlayAUDIO2U was built specifically to meet those demands. Combining a professional audio interface, comprehensive MIDI hub and industry-leading redundancy system into a single 2U rackmount unit, it replaces multiple pieces of equipment while dramatically simplifying your live setup.

Designed Specifically for Touring Professionals

Unlike conventional audio interfaces adapted for stage use, the PlayAUDIO2U was engineered from the ground up for live performance.

Its rugged 2U steel chassis houses everything required to run complex playback systems, virtual instruments and MIDI-controlled performances with confidence. Whether you’re touring internationally, playing festivals or managing productions for houses of worship and theatres, the PlayAUDIO2U is designed to become the heart of your performance rig.

Massive Connectivity Without the Complexity

One of the PlayAUDIO2U‘s biggest strengths is its incredible level of connectivity.

With 24 balanced, panel-reinforced XLR outputs, you can connect directly to stage boxes, looms or FOH snakes without requiring additional breakout hardware.

Four ultra-low-noise XLR/TRS combo inputs with pristine microphone preamps and 48V phantom power allow vocals, instruments and other sources to be captured with exceptional clarity, while studio-grade 24-bit/96kHz audio conversion ensures every performance sounds its best.

Instead of carrying multiple interfaces and converters, everything is integrated into one professional solution.

The MIDI Hub Every Modern Stage Needs

For years, iConnectivity has been recognised as one of the industry’s leading names in professional MIDI connectivity, and the PlayAUDIO2U continues that reputation.

It combines traditional DIN MIDI ports, USB MIDI host connectivity, dual RTP Ethernet networking and powerful internal MIDI processing into one comprehensive control centre.

Need to distribute program changes across multiple devices? Filter MIDI messages? Prevent stuck notes during a computer failure? Trigger MIDI commands directly from the front panel?

The PlayAUDIO2U handles it all with remarkable flexibility, allowing you to build highly customised workflows that would normally require several dedicated MIDI devices.

Legendary Redundancy That Protects Every Performance

Perhaps the PlayAUDIO2U‘s greatest advantage is its industry-leading redundancy system.

By simultaneously monitoring two connected computers, the interface can automatically switch to the backup system in the event of a failure – so quickly that neither the audience nor the performers notice.

Beyond simple computer switching, PlayAUDIO2U also monitors audio streams themselves. If corrupted audio, software crashes or unexpected glitches occur, the interface can instantly mute outputs or enter Safe Mode to prevent unwanted noises from reaching your PA system.

For touring professionals, that’s invaluable peace of mind.

Complete Front Panel Control

Large productions often require quick access to critical functions.

The PlayAUDIO2U features a bright OLED display that provides real-time information on audio levels, MIDI activity, connected computers and system status, making troubleshooting simple – even during a live show.

Four assignable front-panel buttons, rotary encoders and programmable footswitch inputs provide direct hardware control without constantly reaching for your computer.

Built for Today’s Playback & Virtual Instrument Rigs

Whether you’re running Ableton Live, MainStage, virtual instruments or complex playback sessions, the PlayAUDIO2U was designed to simplify demanding productions.

Its comprehensive routing capabilities allow audio to move seamlessly between connected computers and analogue outputs, while Auracle software provides deep customisation of every aspect of the interface.

Compatible with macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, it easily integrates into almost any professional production environment.

Everything You Need to Get Started

Every PlayAUDIO2U includes useful bundled software to help get your system up and running.

Registered users receive Ableton Live Lite, providing a powerful platform for live playback and music creation, along with an exclusive selection of premium samples and loops from Big Fish Audio.

Together, they provide an excellent starting point for building professional live performance sessions straight out of the box.
