Introducing the all new IBU2 Ultimate (IBU2U)

Introducing the all new IBU2 Ultimate (IBU2U)

Some of you will have noticed IBU2’s have been hard to obtain from retailers, this is because production had stopped at the end of 2016. The IBU2 Ultimate is its replacement.

It is a totally redesigned board with revised firmware and enhanced features. The base version will still have 4 channel inputs, the pro is been renamed Full Option (FO) and now has 8 channel inputs.
