Odio

USB Audio Interface

ADM09

Audio Damage ADM09 Odio is a class-compliant USB
audio interface that will work, driver-free, with virtually
all computers, iOS devices, and Windows tablets. It makes
it incredibly easy to use an iPad or laptop in live
performance, and scratch recordings and Instagram videos
with high-quality audio are a snap.

IN L + IN R

IN L and IN R are inputs to the AD convertor, and expect 10V p-p modular-level audio signals.
If you send voltages greater than +5V or -5V, clipping can occur. The LEDs reflect the input level, with
blue representing reasonable levels, violet representing peak levels, and yellow representing clipping
levels.

OUT L + OUT R

OUT L and OUT R are outputs from the DA convertor, and they operate at 10V p-p modular levels.
(Note that these are almost 4 times “louder” than the outputs on a typical prosumer audio interface,
and will cause clipping and distortion in consumer level home audio equipment.) The outputs are
DC-coupled. The LEDs show output levels, with blue showing normal levels, violet for hot levels, and
yellow for peaking.

Operating on the USB 1.1 standard, Odio is plug-and-play,
and with DC-coupled outputs and 10V p-p modular level
audio paths to the Burr-Brown AD/DA convertors operating
at 48hKz/16 bit, it will happily work in today’s demanding
modular environment with no setup needed.

USB

The USB port accepts a standard USB B plug, with the other end of the cable attached to the
appropriate port on your host device. The USB LED is solid yellow if a USB connection is present,
and o if no connection is made. Odio operates at 48kHz 16-bit when attached to an iOS
device. This is its maximum resolution. You can set lower sample rates and bit depths if Odio is
attached to a computer.

• Odio is fantastic at the end of your signal chain for recording
directly to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, Vine,
and other iOS apps for high-quality audio in your clips.

• Use iOS apps like Flux:FX and Dedalus to bring DSP eects
in to your modular patches. AudioBus allows you to patch
eects right on your iPad.

AUDIODAMAGE

• Use a simple VST host and bring the whole world of
VST eects and instruments in to your modular with
a cheap netbook. Want to use our Eos reverb in your live
show? No problem!

• While Odio will work fine as a recording interface, this is
not its ideal application, and we recommend tools designed
specifically for that task.
