Xilica Gio USB

Gio USB enables users to connect their laptops or conferencing devices via USB and route the audio bi-directionally over the network to a DSP or AV system. It is ideal for environments using soft codecs like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, providing a plug-and-play experience with no drivers required. The unit acts as both an input and output device — sending microphone signals from the network to the computer and receiving playback from the computer into the network.

Designed for ease of use and clean installations, Gio USB is often mounted under desks, in furniture, or inside wall plates for a minimalist appearance. It’s powered via PoE, so no separate power supply is needed.
