Freqport Dual FreqInOut FO1-2RK

The Freqport Dual FreqInOut FO1_2RK redefines how analog outboard gear integrates with modern digital studio workflows. Instead of replacing your main audio interface or forcing you into complex, manual DAW routing paths, this 1U rackmount powerhouse acts as an intelligent bridge—allowing you to run your favorite hardware compressors, EQs, and saturators inside your DAW session exactly like software plugins.

By pre-mounting two high-efficiency FO1 units into a single 19-inch rack enclosure, the FO1_2RK delivers 8 balanced analog inputs and 8 outputs. Simply load the FreqInOut plugin on any audio, send, or instrument channel, and your real-world hardware becomes instantly automatable, recallable, and fully integrated with zero setup friction.

Equipped with premium 32-bit ESS converters supporting sample rates up to 192kHz, the FO1_2RK ensures transparent, uncompromising audio quality that perfectly preserves the sonic flavor of your hardware. Driven by a single USB-C cable over Freqport's proprietary timing architecture, the system provides sample-accurate latency compensation automatically inside your DAW, eliminating the phase issues and timing drift common with traditional external routing loops.

The system features a built-in hardware Analog Matrix that allows you to reconfigure the physical signal flow through your connected equipment inside the software—allowing you to change your processing chain order on the fly with no physical patching or latency penalties. Additionally, the plugin unlocks unique digital controls over your analog path, including Hardware Mix for perfect parallel wet/dry blending and a dedicated M/S Mode to run mono hardware in mid-side stereo configuration.

Key Features

• Run Hardware Like Plugins: Seamlessly controls and runs external outboard gear via a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin with all settings saved directly inside your project session.

• 8×8 Analog I/O Configuration: Dual-unit architecture yields 8 balanced 1/4" TRS inputs and 8 outputs in a sleek, space-saving 1U rack chassis.

• Parallel Interface Co-Existence: Connects and runs alongside your existing studio audio interface via USB-C without requiring complicated aggregate device configurations.

• Zero-Latency Analog Matrix: Effortlessly reorder and patch your external hardware chains digitally inside the software environment.

• Visual Settings Capture: Features an innovative system where scanning a generated QR code lets you capture a physical photo of your hardware knobs and save it directly as the active plugin skin.
