The first company to write their own ASIO driver, Sonorus has placed a high value on working closely with recording software companies to create the best possible interface between hardware and software. To this end, MSP, Spectrafoo and Metro 4.01 have all written directly for the STUDI/O board, using the software development kit (SDK) provided by Sonorus.

STUDI/O allows recording engineers and home studio owners to input/output 16 channels of 24-bit digital audio in parallel from a PC or Macintosh to a pair of Alesis ADATs using standard fiber-optic cables. STUDI/O includes two 24-bit 8-channel

Alesis ADAT optical interfaces and an 18-bit stereo analog monitor output. For mastering applications, one or both ADAT interfaces can be software-configured for optical S/PDIF input and/or output, including sample rate conversion, for connection to DAT machines or high-performance converters. With the addition of Word Clock in & out, via Sonorus' STUDI/O-Sync Backplate, STUDI/O can be synchronized within a professional digital studio environment to a master clock generator. STUDI/O can then also be utilized as the master clock generator via Word Clock out, sending its high quality clock to the Alesis BRC or other devices.
