Overview

The Touch 8 is built for serious audio professionals, delivering high-end performance with features that surpass expectations. With 75dB gain preamps and top-tier DA/AD converters, this interface
offers 128dB analog-to-digital conversion. The Touch 8 delivers 130dB—providing a spacious, natural sound that rivals dedicated converters.

A 10-inch multi-touch LCD screen offers real-time responsive control with virtual faders, touch-sensitive buttons, and easy-to-read 15-segment metering. Key features like -20dB pad, phantom power, polarity control, and direct monitoring are right at your fingertips. The Alt button lets you switch between studio monitors and consumer speakers, while a dim button quickly reduces output by -20dB.

Dual headphone outputs make collaboration a breeze, with individual volume faders and flexible monitoring options. Expand your setup with ADAT I/O, adding 8 channels of optical input and output. With iCON’s iO Pro software, you can easily manage routing and control every aspect of your session.

The Touch 8 features four Neutrik® Combo XLR Mic/Line/Inst inputs, offering flexible connectivity with XLR and 1/4-inch (6.35mm) jacks. Combined with four 1/4-inch outputs, this interface provides all the I/O options you need to manage your studio or live setup.

With a UNI OTG USB-C port, you can connect directly to internet streaming services, ensuring pristine audio quality for live broadcasts. Plus, you can use iCON’s iO Pro software to integrate host based effects like reverb, compressors, and delays seamlessly into your broadcast or live performance.

The iO Pro software works in harmony with the hardware, allowing you to control monitoring, headphone outputs, direct monitoring, and OTG inputs through the software or directly on the device’s touchscreen. The precision-engineered hardware encoder provides fine control over the digital faders for detailed adjustments.

With robust construction, sleek design, and powerful integration with iO Pro software, the Touch 8 is built to perform at the highest level in professional and high-end home studios for years to come.
