Interface
Multiple units can be daisy-chained over the FireWire bus, or kept
in sync using the DIN connectors when recording on multiple USB
devices, making iCE-16 the perfect companion for both small and
large analogue consoles such as our acclaimed ZED, MixWizard
and GL mixers. Plug into your desk Direct Outs or use a mix of
Groups and Aux sends to save on channels.

The USB DRIVE is automatically detected and checked by the system.
Starting the recording is as simple as pushing a button. Remove and
plug the key into a computer to access or transfer the WAV files to
any DAW.
APPLICATIONS
Removing the USB stick or powering up the unit without one enables
the USB / FireWire interface. Signals present at the inputs will be
sent to the Mac or PC on channels 1-16. WDM/ASIO drivers and USB2.0
class compliance ensure full compatibility with most DAWs,
including Logic, Sonar, Cubase and Pro Tools.
PLAY
Fancy a ‘virtual soundcheck’ or just need to play cues during a live
gig? Tracks can be played back directly from the USB DRIVE AND full
multichannel audio can be sent from the computer to the ICE-16
analogue Outputs.
