Submitted January 11, 2004 by a customer from hotmail.com
"Great bit of kit."
I'd pay a bit more for a more 'pro' look and feel (more metal, better connectors, better level pots)
Sound
Good sound, although headphone output is a bit quiet.
Features
Good. Although I wish it had XLR line output with separate level adjustment, and I'd like it to have some sort of indication of where unity was on in/out level pots.
Their list of compatible software is a bit limited.
Quality
Well made. Arguably, there's a lot of extra plastic - I popped the lid to see inside and the box is practically empty.
Value
amazing value.
Manufacturer Support
No support required. Don't anticipate needing it.
The Wow Factor
It was a practical addition, but couldn't do without it now.
Musical Style:
Classical
