Metric Halo

MIO Console 3d is 64-bit today and ready for the soon to be released macOS Catalina (10.15) and beyond; macOS Catalina will not support 2d and Legacy boxes. Bucking the industry trend of planned obsolescence, we have made sure all Metric Halo customers have an upgrade path for their original legacy and 2d gear.

MIO Console 3d and the MHLink CoreAudio Driver work on all versions of macOS from v.10.8.5 up to the current 10.15 public beta. The 3d software is built on a firm foundation for the future. The 3d Upgrade connects to the computer using modern, up-to-date and well-supported connection technologies including Ethernet and USB.

In contrast, our 2d products require the use of an end-of-life computer connection technology (FireWire). Development has ended for our 2d and Legacy products. While we will continue to provide tech support for these products, there will be no new software releases for 2d.

MIO Console v5 will not run on Apple's upcoming macOS Catalina (10.15). macOS Catalina requires 64-bit applications.
