The Best of Aphex in a Compact Interface
The Aphex IN2 USB audio interface packs components from some of Aphex's most acclaimed products, making it a great-sounding value and a great choice for home studios and portable recording.

With a flexible and great-sounding analog front end, it's hard not to make great recordings with the Aphex IN2 USB audio interface.
Aphex IN2 USB Audio Interface at a Glance:
- Quality Class A mic preamps provide vintage warmth and serious headroom
- Optical compression helps you keep your dynamics under control
- Exceptional headphone amp makes your life better
To provide you with warm and wide-open tone, Aphex equipped the IN2 with two Class A preamplifiers, the same found in their Project Channel studio channel strip. With a -20dB pad, this channel strip gives you tons of headroom to play with plus 65dB of clear gain, and phantom power for your condenser mics. You also get a 75Hz low-cut filter to take the rumble out of your recordings - factor in the optical compressor, and you've got a powerful analog front end for any recording task.
Optical compression helps you keep your dynamics under controlAphex has always been at the top of the game where optical compression is concerned, and the IN2 packs the venerable optical compressor Aphex is known for. Operation is simple, and the sound is fantastic. It also means that you can get closer to your final sound during tracking, making your mixing job that much easier.
Exceptional headphone amp makes your life betterAphex borrowed the design on their acclaimed HeadAmp4 headphone amplifier and packed it into the IN2 audio interface. This headphone output sounds extremely clean, has a very low noise floor, and lots of volume on tap. The clean sound and low noise means your ears won't fatigue as fast during long sessions.
