I bought my Omni I/O on 2001-03-21 for $220.

It replaces my Delta 44's break-out box, giving me the following new features:

  1. headphone jacks (2)
  2. volume knobs for headphones (2)
  3. monitor jack
  4. volume knob for monitors
  5. LEDs to let me know when signals are being received
  6. power knob - reduces wear on headphones when not making music
  7. lots of other connections and thingies which I don't use yet

I'm so glad I bought it when I did, because for some reason it has been discontinued. This is a real shame, because it's such a useful extension to the Delta series. It eliminated the need for a standalone mixer or headphone pre-amps, which helped save me money (and complexity).
