Reviews about this item

Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Simple

I like this because most audio interfaces are sold with all kinds of bells and whistles and inputs, like RCA, that you'll never use. And you pay for all that useless stuff. This unit has 8 balanced mic inputs, two 1/4" mic/line inputs and 6 line inputs. That's it! All you need. I do find that the on/off switch is a bit screwy. Sometimes I have to flip the switch a couple times to get it to power on.
