iO2 Express Audio Interface
The compact Alesis iO2 EXPRESS audio-recording interface is ideal for home studios and portable recording setups. The 2-channel USB interface for Mac and PC-based systems enables you to record at up to 24-bit resolution for input into virtually all DAW, recording, and performance software.
The Alesis i02 EXPRESS recording interface is small enough to comfortably fit into your mobile recording rig, laptop bag, or backpack, yet it contains high-quality components and circuitry suitable for the studio.
Flexible recording and playback
The i02 EXPRESS interface's discrete-design preamplifiers and true 48-volt phantom power ensure that you capture microphones' complete signal. High quality analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters ensure that every detail of your session or performance gets recorded – and played back on your monitoring system. It's class compliant, so you can use the plug-and-play Alesis iO2 EXPRESS with virtually any computer.
The iO2 EXPRESS is USB bus powered so you won't need to carry a bulky power supply, and its performance is optimized for minimal laptop battery drain so you'll be able to track long sessions and gigs remotely.
Complete iO
The iO2 EXPRESS has 2 input channels. Each channel has an XLR microphone input, a 1/4" TRS insert for external effects units, and a 1/4" TS jack that works with line-level sources and can accommodate direct connection of guitars.
The Alesis iO2 EXPRESS sends and receives 2 audio channels on a single USB cable for simple, universal interface. You can monitor your sessions on any studio monitoring or other loudspeaker system via dual 1/4" balanced outputs. For remote tracking and alternative playback, the iO2 EXPRESS has a 1/4" TRS headphone output.
The iO2 EXPRESS features traditional MIDI In and Out jacks for playing and controlling software with keyboard and pad controllers, workstations, and other MIDI-compatible instruments.
Level management
Each channel has a gain trim control, and there's a master level control for optimal gain staging. When monitoring on headphones, you'll appreciate the dedicated volume control.
You can also visually monitor levels and operation using the tricolor, stereo metering tree and lighted status indicators.

M-Audio StudioPro 3 Desktop Audio Monitor
The M-Audio StudioPro 3 active monitor features powerful amplification, a custom-tuned cabinet, optimized speaker design, and advanced crossover technology for the best possible sound. Magnetic shielding prevents this desktop audio monitor from interfering with your computer or video monitor.
Stereo Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output
For maximum flexibility, a stereo aux input allows you to plug in a secondary audio source (such as your portable music player) in addition to the main RCA inputs in the back. The volume control works on both inputs simultaneously. Additionally, there is a stereo headphone output next to the aux jack that mutes the sound coming out of the speakers and redirects it to your headphones.
Natural Bass
The custom bass reflex port design discharges very low-frequency signals and delivers a smooth, substantial bass response. Need more? The rear-panel bass boost gives you additional low-frequency gain and makes the monitors versatile for different spaces and listening preferences.
Monitor Pads
High-frequency audio signals tend to be fairly directional. That's why wedge-shaped monitor pads are included to help point your StudioPro 3s directly at your ears for an optimal listening sweet spot.
Enclosure
Provides a more stable performance with a special medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. Includes carefully placed acoustic material that makes the StudioPro 3 sound much bigger than it is--resulting in a smooth, natural bass response.
V63M Condenser Studio Microphone
The MXL V63M Condenser Studio Microphone has a 1" diameter, 6-micron-thick diaphragm that delivers high sensitivity and detailed recordings. Wired with Mogami wire for added clarity. With balanced, transformerless output for low noise. Encased in a heavy-duty brass enclosure. The MXL V63M has a cardioid pickup pattern and a frequency response of 30Hz- 20kHz. 48V phantom power required.

Comments about Alesis iO2 StudioPro3 Recording Package:
I received this package two days ago and with the addition of an ART Tube preamp I am pretty satisfied with the quality of my vocals. The preamp is a must to get a good sound. The Alesis does not do a good job in that department but it does provide a nice clean throughput to my PC USB. When switching from the Alesis phantom power to the ART's, I immediately noticed that a low frequency hum disappeared. The ART is totally silent and now the Alesis is too.
The mic is good considering what I paid for it. I am already looking at upgrades because it doesn't have that bright crisp sound that I like. But still, it is totally adequate especially once you EQ your tracks. It seems well built and has a very small sweet spot. It sounds best when you're about 3" away and slightly above center. This actually works well for me because I do not have a booth and it doesn't pic up much ambient sound. When you leave that sweet spot, the sound drops off quickly.
Getting everything to work was a bit tricky but I was up and running in about 2 hours. This is my very first time setting up anything like this and I'm not much for reading instructions. You do need to download the AISO driver at the Alesis website and you have to set your input/output devices in Cubase. I have no latency issues at all. No pops, crackles or hisses. (Except if you turn the gain up too high on the Alesis - which is why I recommend the ART preamp.)
The Speakers are awful! I knew that from other reviews but didn't expect them to be so bad. I will replace them ASAP.
The mic stand is actually quite nice. The boom does fully adjust contrary to the description - North, South, East, West. It seems sturdy enough for stationary use but if you are really tall, it may be too short.
I've had no problems with the XLR cable and all of my items arrived in perfect condition.
I thought long and hard before making this purchase because I wasn't sure if I would actually get good products for the price point. I'm totally satisfied with this purchase and as long as your expectations are realistic and you take the necessary steps to get the most out of this gear, I think it's a great starter kit...except for the speakers but at this price they're basically free.
