Alesis IO 2 USB 2 Channel Audio Interface

This portable 2–channel 24-bit/48KHz USB audio interface was designed as the ideal Audio/MIDI companion to notebook computer-based recording environments. It has a compact form factor that can easily fit in a laptop case or small backpack. The iO|2 USB features durable aluminum casing USB power (eliminating cumbersome external power supplies) and is optimized for minimal laptop battery drain.

The iO|2 provides 2-channels of pristine 24-bit/48kHz audio directly to your computer via the integrated USB interface and features 2 channels of switchable mic/line inputs. And with Hardware Direct Monitoring, you never have to worry about dealing with audio latency while recording.
