If you're using Windows 10 and intend on using this for any extended period of time, AVOID purchasing this product. Currently, I can't go any longer than 3 hours without my audio interface resulting in me sounding like a robot. I've contacted support multiple times and they've tried to be helpful, but it doesn't seem like there's any end in sight for this problem. I wish I had researched the Solo prior to purchasing considering it's a very well known issue. To clarify, there's nothing wrong with the interface itself, but the drivers are not working the way they should. I was using this to connect my AT2020 to my PC for streaming alongside VOIP chatting (Discord/Teamspeak/Skype) and it has been 6 months of continuous unplugging and replugging of the Solo to temporarily work around the issue.

I shopped around for this little audio interface for a while and found that it would open up so many options for me and my family as far as connecting different monitors and connecting instruments mics ect. Got it for a great price and love the simplicity of set up and use.

I would recommend this product. Although, I was able to get the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen for 69.99... it's still a steal for $

Our iRig2 HD broke and this is way better than that! We use this to send digital audio from a digital sound board to a Livestream for church services using OBS. You just need to adjust the timing by 70ms for audio sync issue. Perfect and flawless otherwise.

This allows me to setup a PC karaoke. Works good with my microphone.

got a cheap bm-800 microphone and hook up to computer and you will have a great sounding voice. I would invest in solo first and then if you need better sound upgrade the microphone later.

I purchased this to replace a Guitar Port USB interface. The Focusrite drivers are light years ahead of the aforementioned. It works flawlessly with Amplitube 4 and Guitar Rig 5 which is the software I use to play through. I have not experienced any lag and I am very happy with the purchase.

The overall bundle is excellent. Everything I needed and more (almost). However, the krk monitor was on back order and it took several communications on my behalf to get things taken care of. Then to find out that the bundle was made up of only one studio monitor and not two. So now I will have to order another monitor.

Focusrite as usual makes good hardware. Scarlett Solo is no exception. From the stable drivers to the simple outputs everything works well. This is not their most featured product but my needs were simple. This device meets my technical expectations as well as my limited pocketbook..
