However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The iConnectivity PlayAUDIO2U is designed for touring musicians, production teams, and live engineers who need absolute confidence on stage. Built as the next step on from the PlayAUDIO1U, it focuses on reliability, scalability, and hands-on control for demanding live environments.
Product Ref: 362500
The PlayAUDIO2U is designed for situations where audio dropouts are simply not acceptable. Dual computer connections allow you to run a main and backup system at the same time, with fast failover if a problem is detected.
This redundancy has become a hallmark of the PlayAUDIO range, trusted by touring musicians and production companies worldwide. Built-in Audio Protection adds another layer of safety, helping prevent unexpected noise, glitches, or corrupted files from reaching the audience.
Four XLR and quarter inch TRS combo inputs make it easy to bring live sources into your show. The ultra-low noise microphone preamps deliver clean, detailed sound for vocals and instruments, with 48V phantom power available when needed.
These inputs are designed to stay quiet when idle and provide a wide dynamic range when in use. Audio can be sent swiftly to connected performance computers for processing, keeping everything contained within a single touring interface.
With 24 balanced XLR outputs, the PlayAUDIO2U is ready to plug directly into stage boxes, looms, or front of house systems. Each output is panel reinforced to handle daily plugging and unplugging on the road.
Integrated phantom power resistance on the outputs offers extra protection when connecting to unfamiliar systems. The result is studio-level clarity packaged in hardware that is comfortable living in a rack night after night.
iConnectivity has long been known for deep MIDI capability, and the PlayAUDIO2U brings that expertise to live performance. It offers USB MIDI host ports for class compliant controllers, traditional DIN MIDI connections, and dual Ethernet MIDI ports for long-distance, venue-wide networking. The unit acts as a central MIDI hub, allowing you to route, filter, and manage data exactly where it needs to go. MIDI learn makes assigning controls straightforward, even in complex setups.
A large OLED display on the front panel serves as your command centre during a show. It provides real-time visibility of audio levels, MIDI activity, system status, and redundancy settings. Clear warnings help you spot issues early, while Safe Mode diagnostics support quick troubleshooting. User-assignable buttons, rotary encoders, and footswitch inputs allow software-less control over key functions, keeping essential actions within easy reach on stage.
Housed in a rugged 2U rack chassis, the PlayAUDIO2U is designed to withstand the demands of touring. All connections are reinforced, and a built-in universal power supply with an IEC connector keeps power simple across venues.
High-resolution audio up to 24-bit and 96 kHz ensures clear sound in live environments. Auracle software allows detailed configuration to suit your workflow, while bundled Big Fish Audio samples and Ableton Live Lite help you get started quickly. The PlayAUDIO2U is a dependable foundation for shows that need to scale without added complexity.
