{"product_id":"esi-planet-22x-371317","title":"Planet 22X","description":"\u003ch3\u003ePlanet 22x: the \"audio interface\" approach reinvented in the Dante network era\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ESI Planet 22x belongs to a generation of interfaces designed to go beyond the \"one interface, one computer, one cable\" logic and adopt a modern architecture focused on \u003cstrong\u003enetwork audio\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whereas a traditional desktop audio interface often relies on direct connectivity and dedicated power, the Planet 22x bets on the flexibility of a Dante environment: it can join an existing IP audio network, add analog channels where you need them, and remain coherent in a professional workflow, from fixed studio to mobile setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts positioning is clear: to offer the simplicity of a compact 2x2 interface while bringing typical network infrastructure advantages (deployment, extension, cable rationalization). The inclusion of a \u003cstrong\u003eDante Virtual Soundcard license\u003c\/strong\u003e aligns with this vision: Planet 22x is conceived as a modern chain link, capable of integrating with current workflows on Mac and PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn interface designed for studio, recording, and demanding mobile setups\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlanet 22x targets users who want a \u003cstrong\u003eDante audio interface\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of handling essentials with \"studio\" quality: voice recording, podcasting, live guitar\/bass, synths, drum machines, or stereo recording. The \u003cstrong\u003e2 symmetrical XLR \/ jack combo inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e allow easy switching between microphones, line sources, and instruments, while the \u003cstrong\u003e2 symmetrical XLR outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e secure connection to monitoring speakers, a console, or a broadcast system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn mobile environments, the benefit is immediate: \u003cstrong\u003ePoE\u003c\/strong\u003e powers the interface via the network cable, convenient for a stage, an improvised control room, a rehearsal room, or a touring setup. In the studio, the integrated headphone output facilitates tracking and monitoring without multiplying boxes, and the main level control is designed to be precise for quick listening management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features: conversion, preamps, control, and Dante integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e24-bit \/ 96 kHz conversion and rated dynamic range for reliable listening\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eESI equips the Planet 22x with \u003cstrong\u003e24-bit \/ 96 kHz AD converters\u003c\/strong\u003e boasting a dynamic range of \u003cstrong\u003e118 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e24-bit \/ 96 kHz DA converters\u003c\/strong\u003e with a dynamic range of \u003cstrong\u003e123 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Practically, this aims for clean reproduction, controlled background noise, and a comfortable margin to work your levels without feeling compressed, whether monitoring or recording. For modern production, it provides a solid foundation to mix, edit, and validate takes precisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTwo truly versatile input channels: mic, line, and Hi-Z\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach input channel can operate in balanced line mode but also in mic mode thanks to built-in \u003cstrong\u003eprofessional preamps\u003c\/strong\u003e advertised as precise and very low noise. The switchable \u003cstrong\u003e48 V phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e allows use of condenser microphones without compromise, while the switchable \u003cstrong\u003eHi-Z instrument input\u003c\/strong\u003e makes the interface immediately compatible with guitar or bass, without necessarily requiring a direct box depending on the situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCareful level control and headphone monitoring\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main balanced line output is controlled by a \u003cstrong\u003edetented potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e described as high precision, useful for quickly recalling a listening level and stabilizing your monitoring habits. Add to that an integrated \u003cstrong\u003eheadphone amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e, and you get a compact workstation for recording, monitoring, and checking your takes without sacrificing ergonomics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDante at the heart of the workflow: network extension and recording on Mac\/PC\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy supporting Dante, the Planet 22x can operate with other Dante devices within an IP audio network, making it relevant both for \u003cstrong\u003eextending an existing network\u003c\/strong\u003e and for building a modern setup from scratch. For recording, the interface is designed to work with the \u003cstrong\u003eDante Virtual Soundcard\u003c\/strong\u003e in current production applications on Mac and PC. Regarding drivers, announced compatibility includes \u003cstrong\u003eWDM and ASIO 2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e on Windows, and \u003cstrong\u003eCoreAudio\u003c\/strong\u003e on macOS, to integrate with most DAWs and audio environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePC, Mac\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e24-bits\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSampling frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e96 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAD converters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e24-bit \/ 96 kHz with 118 dB(A) dynamic range\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e174 x 115 x 45 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDA converters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e24-bit \/ 96 kHz with 123 dB(A) dynamic range\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e782 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ESI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361568641299,"sku":"371317","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/150ff176f899e139225855fc0436d831220b2f01_ESI_ESIPLANET22X.jpg?v=1792644214","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/esi-planet-22x-371317","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
