Introduction

The ESI GIGAPORT eX Professional 24-bit / 192kHz 8 Output USB Audio Interface is a compact yet powerful multi-channel audio solution designed for DJs, musicians, live performers, producers, broadcasters, and multimedia professionals who require multiple independent audio outputs from a single portable interface. Built for flexibility and reliability, the GIGAPORT eX is ideal for applications such as DJ cueing, surround playback, live backing tracks, theater productions, exhibitions, and professional audio routing.

Unlike traditional 2-channel USB interfaces, the GIGAPORT eX provides 8 separate analog outputs plus a dedicated headphone output, allowing users to route multiple audio streams independently. Despite its advanced capabilities, the interface remains lightweight, USB-powered, and easy to transport, making it an excellent choice for mobile setups and professional live environments.

With support for 24-bit / 192kHz high-resolution audio, the GIGAPORT eX delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and low-noise performance suitable for both studio and live applications.

Key Features

The standout feature of the GIGAPORT eX is its 8 independent line outputs arranged as four stereo pairs. These outputs can be used simultaneously for multi-zone playback, DJ master and cue routing, surround sound systems, live performance stems, or complex software-based audio setups.

A dedicated headphone output with independent volume control allows convenient monitoring without sacrificing any of the main output channels. This is particularly useful for DJs and live performers who need real-time cue monitoring.

The interface supports 24-bit / 192kHz audio resolution, ensuring professional-grade playback quality with detailed sound reproduction and excellent dynamic range. Whether used for club performances, studio playback, or live productions, the GIGAPORT eX delivers clean and accurate audio across all output channels.

Thanks to professional ASIO 2.0 drivers on Windows and CoreAudio support on macOS, the interface offers low-latency performance and broad compatibility with major audio applications including Ableton Live, Traktor Pro, VirtualDJ, Serato, Cubase, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Reaper, and many other DAWs and DJ platforms.

The GIGAPORT eX is fully USB bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Its compact desktop design makes setup quick and convenient, while the durable enclosure is built to withstand frequent transport and live use.
