Iconnectivity Play AUDIO 2D

Comprehensive Audio and MIDI Interface for Live Performances
Take your performances to a whole new level with the PlayAUDIO2D, a fully featured audio and MIDI interface designed for the stage.

The PlayAUDIO2D harnesses all the power of iConnectivity’s impressive PlayAUDIO2U and adds Dante digital audio inputs and outputs!

The PlayAUDIO2D brings together a comprehensive set of tools in an interface that’s easy to set up and use. Simply connect your computers via USB-C to get started with ease. Audio inputs and outputs, MIDI connectivity, MIDI control, RTP-MIDI networking, and now Dante digital audio inputs/outputs—everything is integrated and benefits from iConnectivity’s renowned redundancy system. This allows you to record audio sources, play backing tracks, use virtual instruments, and connect your equipment throughout the entire venue.

The PlayAUDIO2D redefines live performance computer setups by combining all essential features into a single device.
8 Dante inputs and 32 Dante outputs!
Thanks to its Dante integration, the PlayAUDIO2D can play a central role in your audio network. Its Dante outputs allow you to transmit up to 32 digital audio channels to your Dante network, directly to a mixing console or any other compatible equipment.

Conversely, the PlayAUDIO2D can receive up to 8 Dante audio channels and route them directly to computers connected via USB for processing.

The PlayAUDIO2D thus serves as an ideal bridge between your Dante network and the computers used for your performances.
Outputs, more outputs, and even more outputs!
The PlayAUDIO2D features 32 Dante outputs and 24 analog XLR outputs!

It is therefore ready to meet the demands of any type of performance. The 24 analog audio outputs are automatically mirrored on the first 24 Dante outputs. Eight additional Dante outputs are available, bringing the total to 32 digital outputs, with sampling rates of up to 96 kHz.

The PlayAUDIO2D is designed for your performances. It greatly simplifies digital audio management: just connect your computers to its USB-C ports and you’re ready to go.

It was designed for the stage and touring, combining advanced technologies, studio-quality sound, and a design built for the road.
Audio Inputs Designed for Live Performance
The PlayAUDIO2D features audio inputs specifically tailored to the demands of the stage, with silent operation when no signal is present and a wide dynamic range that captures every detail with precision.

Its four XLR/6.35 mm TRS combo inputs are paired with high-quality microphone preamps and 48 V phantom power. They allow you to record vocals and instruments with clear, accurate sound free of unwanted coloration.

Audio signals can be quickly routed to redundant performance-grade computers for seamless processing of vocals, instruments, and other sources within a PlayAUDIO2D setup that’s perfectly suited for touring.
The PlayAUDIO2D display: your live performance control center
A true assistant for your performances, the PlayAUDIO2D’s advanced display provides real-time information about your setup.

Monitor MIDI activity, audio levels, and system status at a glance. In the event of a computer failure or other issue, immediate alerts allow you to maintain control of your performance.

Thanks to its intuitive display, the PlayAUDIO2D makes setting up your system and troubleshooting faster and easier than ever.
The PlayAUDIO2D: A True MIDI Hub
For many years, iConnectivity has been a leader in the field of MIDI connectivity. With the PlayAUDIO2D, the brand brings all its expertise to live performances.

This powerful MIDI interface, which also functions as a controller, offers exceptionally extensive connectivity to link musicians and technicians. It allows you to manage MIDI communications across the entire stage and throughout the venue.

The PlayAUDIO2D acts as a true central MIDI hub and control center. It connects devices via its 5-pin MIDI DIN ports, USB host ports, computer connections, and two RTP-MIDI Ethernet ports for venue-wide networking.

Its programmable control ports and four assignable buttons on the front panel also allow you to trigger MIDI commands directly from the interface to control your show.

This comprehensive interface simplifies even the most complex MIDI setups, while ensuring flexibility and reliability.

With the PlayAUDIO2D, you decide exactly which MIDI data is sent, to which devices, and when.

For example, iConnectivity’s powerful MIDI processing features make it easy to send MIDI data to connected computers while transmitting only a single set of Program Change messages to the relevant devices. They also allow you to send All Notes Off messages in the event of a computer failure to prevent notes from getting stuck, filter out unnecessary Control Change (CC) messages, and much more.

A true MIDI hub that incorporates all of iConnectivity’s renowned flexibility.
Uncompromising protection for your performances
Designed to meet the demands of touring, the PlayAUDIO2D incorporates advanced protection technologies to ensure your shows run smoothly.

Transparent redundancy: The PlayAUDIO2D safeguards your performances with iConnectivity’s renowned multi-computer redundancy system. It continuously monitors audio and MIDI signals and instantly switches from one computer to another when a problem is detected—so quickly that the transition is inaudible to the audience.

Advanced audio protection: Beyond detecting software malfunctions, the PlayAUDIO2D continuously monitors audio streams. At the slightest sign of a potential problem, it can automatically activate Safe Mode, mute the audio outputs, and display diagnostic information. This system prevents unwanted noise or audio artifacts from being transmitted to the PA or monitor systems.
