The IP88M is an analog input/output BLADE with microphone-level inputs. It has eight built-in microphone preamplifiers complete with pad, phase switch, and phantom power. It provides eight analog line-level outputs.
I/O BLADEs are far more than mere access units connecting studios, elements and Wheatstone control surfaces in the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network. Yes, I/O BLADEs convert audio and logic inputs to data streams on the network and convert outgoing data streams to hardware outputs. But these 1RU I/O units – which come in analog, digital and analog/digital I/O units - also have intelligence inside. Each I/O BLADE comes with a CPU and operating system so you can do amazing things with your audio network, starting with routable mixing, logic-follow-audio and a whole lot more.
