Icon unveils the Touch 8 12×12 Audio Interface w/ Touchscreen
Icon Pro Audio is delighted to announce the new Touch 8 – a 12×12 USB-C audio interface with a 10.4 multi-touch LCD screen. The Touch 8 is built for serious audio professionals, delivering high-end performance with features that surpass expectations. With 75dB gain preamps and top-tier DA/AD converters, this interface offers 128dB analog-to-digital conversion. The Touch 8 delivers 130dB—providing a spacious, natural sound that rivals dedicated converters.
A 10-inch multi-touch LCD screen offers real-time responsive control with virtual faders, touch-sensitive buttons, and easy-to-read 15-segment metering. Key features like -20dB pad, phantom power, polarity control, and direct monitoring are right at your fingertips.
The Alt button lets you switch between studio monitors and consumer speakers, while a dim button quickly reduces output by -20dB. Dual headphone outputs make collaboration a breeze, with individual volume faders and flexible monitoring options. Expand your setup with ADAT I/O, adding 8 channels of optical input and output.
And with iCON’s iO Pro software, you can easily manage routing and control every aspect of your session.
The Touch 8 will be shipping in Q2 2026.
