Seamless I/O Expansion Across the Symetrix Ecosystem

xIO Expanders

High Performance

Experience ultra low latency resulting in no audible delays.

Simple Integration

Eliminate switches, circuit board jumpers, and mechanical adjustments as well as the need for third party applications with configuration and control from Composer software.

PoE

Keep installation simple with single cable connectivity on xIn 4 and xOut 4 models eliminating the need for external power supplies.

Enhanced Connectivity

Implement redundant Dante network audio using a secondary Gigabit Ethernet port on the xIn 12 and xOut 12 models or daisy-chain of up to 10 units with external network switches for even greater expansion.
