iConnectivity PlayAUDIO1U Audio and MIDI Interface
Audio and MIDI Interface for Live Performance
PlayAUDIO1U is designed to support live performances at the professional level. It is a deeply-thought out, bulletproof, fail-proof, and made-to-tour interface that provides pristine audio output as well as comprehensive MIDI connectivity to your whole stage. It’s perfect for control and playback of backing tracks, virtual instruments, or most anything else you can think of that requires computers in a live environment.
Layers of protection
Being built to tour means that even the little details get thought of.
-
PlayAUDIO1U fail-proofs your show by employing iConnectivity’s famous multi-computer redundancy. It listens to your software and when issues occur it automatically switches computers faster than anyone can hear. It does this by listening to either (or both) MIDI or audio coming from your computer.
-
PlayAUDIO1U introduces a new type of protection with your performance. In addition to listening for software or computer failure, it can listen to the audio streams coming from your computers and through itself. At the slightest hint of an audio problem, it can mute the audio to the main outputs and provide diagnostic information to the operator via its display. This helps protect everyone from bad audio, noise, etc. from passing through the outputs and into the PA system, Monitors, etc.
The PlayAUDIO1U Display – your virtual assistant
Like your own virtual assistant, the display provides information about what is happening in your world.
Enjoy real-time information such as MIDI monitoring and audio levels. The display will also provide you with warnings if
computers fail or if there are issues elsewhere in the system.
With PlayAUDIO1U’s display, getting setup properly and/or diagnosing problems has never been faster or easier.

PlayAUDIO1U is a MIDI maniac
At iConnectivity, we’re been the world leaders and innovators in MIDI connectivity for years now. We’ve put everything we know about MIDI in live performance into the PlayAUDIO1U.
PlayAUDIO1U can act as your chief MIDI manager for your live performance. Connect devices via its built-in 5 pin MIDI Din, USB host port, connected computers, and even on the network via RTP MIDI.
Once everything is connected, It lets you tailor what MIDI goes where and when. For instance, iConnectivity’s powerful MIDI processing lets you easily send MIDI to connected computing devices while only sending one set of program changes to connected peripherals, send all notes off when computer failure occurs to avoid stuck notes, filter out extraneous CC’s, and much much more…
It’s a MIDI beast. iConnectivity’s famous flexibility is built-in.
