Freqport has announced the next evolution of their outboard gear as plug-ins with the FreqlnOut FO1.
The FreqInOut FO1 is a hardware interface with four audio inputs and outputs that connect to a computer via USB-C. FreqlnOut allows users to integrate outboard audio gear, directly into audio software via its hardware matrix. The concept is to alleviate the issues caused by trying to integrate outboard gear with an easy-to-use interface and enables you to process multiple signals simultaneously. The new unit builds on the ground-breaking developed by innovator Mikael Dahlgaard and his team. (Read FutureMusic’s Freqport FT-1 review.)

To use the FreqInOut, simply plug it in with a single USB cable, install the software, power up, open the interface, and connect your outboard equipment, and get to work! All the complexity in setting up external effect and instruments inside your DAW has been removed.
The built-in hardware Matrix allows you to reconfigure the signal flow through your outboard equipment and does so without adding latency. You can even capture your hardware settings by scanning a QR Code and create a custom skin inside the plug-in. The interface is expandable and allows you to add four or eight more I/O features a Mid-Side mode, a Hardware Mix for parallel processing, and sports top-tier ESS 32 bit converters with support for up to 192kHz sample rates.
FreqInOut turns your outboard equipment into plug-ins in your DAW!
With FreqInOut, you can bring all you real outboard processors, effects and instruments into your mix. Whether enabling M/S mode, utilizing Hardware Mix for parallel processing, or fine-tuning your gain staging, the Freqport FreqInOut Fo1 interface lets you do all that and more.
Multiple analog processing circuits allow you to process more than one audio signal at the same time within your workflow, something that is impossible with single-circuit analog processors.
PreSonus Quantum HD 2 Audio Interface Review
The PreSonus HD 2 computer audio interface came in for a long term test and we employed four evaluators to test it out in their respective project studios – their comments in quotes below. The new HD2 is part of a complete revamping of PreSonus’ audio interface range and is complemented by the ES 2, ES 4 and HD 8.
FreqInOut Key Features:
- Analog Matrix: Use the built-in hardware Matrix that allows you to effortlessly reconfigure the signal flow through your outboard equipment, all without adding latency.
- Multi-Instance Analog: Multiple analog processing circuits allow more than one audio signal to be processed at the same time within your digital workflow. This is impossible with single circuit analog processors. Pro-grade ESS 32 bit converters up to 192 Khz.
- Plug-in Features: Enhance your audio workflow with the FreqInOut Plugin. Enable M/S mode, utilize Hardware MIX for parallel processing, and fine-tune your gain staging. Plus, easily capture your hardware settings by scanning a QR code, allowing your camera to create custom skins in the plug-in.
- Connectivity: Connect any kind of outboard equipment to the FreqInOut, open the plugin in your DAW, and use it without the hassle of advanced setup, routing, latency and timing issues when recording.
- Add Additional Channels: Integrate FreqInOut with your existing sound card to add four or eight more inputs and outputs.
- Audio Input & Output: 4x Jack Inputs (+18dBu levels with -10dBV/+4dBu) 4x Jack Outputs (+18dBu levels) with ANALOG MATRIX per output.
- Converters: 120dB DNR 32bit DAC / 116dB DNR 32bit ADC / Supporting up to 192kHz sample-rate
