Sound-Quality

These wall-mounted, mic/line, Dante-enabled endpoints include an ultra-high performance audio signal path utilizing the same studio-grade mic preamps and AD/DA signal chain as our top-of-the-line DSP. The result is best-in-class clarity, intelligibility, and accuracy that maximizes performance of the entire system. 

Unmatched Design and Construction

We agonized over every detail to create a truly professional solution for the most demanding projects. A raised bezel and proprietary thumb notch ease connector attachment and removal. The vertically oriented network port is accompanied by an integrated stress-release attachment point and the elegant Decora-compatible faceplate snaps into place without visible screws.


Each xIO XLR is rugged to the core, constructed of die-cast zinc. The design incorporates a unique XLR mounting method that protects internal components and electronics.

Customizable LED Indicators

A front-panel RGB LED for each connector can be programmed to reflect any system parameter such as signal presence, clip, mute, or preset. Or they can easily be blacked-out.

Sleek Control Buttons

Integrated buttons are flush with the faceplate and can control any function of the system.


In combination, the bright indicators and control buttons allow for rapid, on-site diagnostics and management of a system.

Flexible and Simple Deployment

The product is available in four models that can be matched to any need, simplify set-up, and deliver a sophisticated look and feel in premium light and dark finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

xIO XLR-Series

  • What IO configurations are supported?

    The product is available in four models. Two single-gang configurations offer either one input and one output (1×1), or two inputs (2×0). Two double-gang configurations offer either two inputs and two outputs (2×2) or four inputs (4×0). 

  • What is the construction material used?

    The xIO XLR Series uses die cast zinc for the front bezel, faceplate, and rear housing.

  • Are EU form factors available for all models?

    Single-gang models will support EU form factors but not double-gang models. There is just too much good stuff to fit in a EU double-gang box!

  • Can I customize or disable the front LED’s?

    Yes, using Composer, the LED’s can reflect any system parameter such as signal presence, clip, mute, or preset. Or they can easily be blacked-out. 

  • What can be controlled with the front button?

    Pretty much anything! The front button can be used to momentarlly show LED statuses and is associated with a logic output in the Intelligent Module for the xIO XLR. This logic output can be used for any control function in Composer. 

  • Can the xIO XLR be used with other manufacturer’s DSPs?

     Yes it can. The xIO XLR is a standard Dante endpoint. Composer is required for initial configuration and a Symetrix DSP is required for realtime control if desired.

  • Does the xIO XLR use POE or POE+?

    The xIO XLR-Series uses POE.

  • Does the xIO XLR support Dante and AES 67?

    Yes, the xIO XLR supports Dante and AES 67.

  • Does the xIO XLR support network redundancy?

    No, the xIO XLR has a single Dante/control network RJ45 port so it cannot support Dante redundancy.

  • What is the minimum latency the xIO XLR will operate?

    The minimum Dante latency setting is 1ms.

  • What sample rate does the xIO XLR operate?

    The xIO XLR-Series supports 48 and 96 kHz. 

  • Why does the xIO XLR support a 96khz sample rate if the Symetrix DSP line only supports 48kHz?

    We at Symetrix know customers will find this to be a craft product they will want to use in various installs, whether old or new. If those installs have Symetrix equipment then great; if it is a different system we still want to provide the highest quality option possible with the most flexibility.
