I had it for a bit over a month. The sound is very good. I use the Behringer C-2 and C-3 microphones. From a home recording perspective I really can't find any fault in it.

It has everything you need for home recording. I record guitar in stereo or voice in mono and connect my multi effects to it via midi. I can't think of any additional feature I would need.

Very easy and intuitive.

So far it's probably one of the best quality piece of hardware of this complexity I had. It works fine from a usb hub or any of my laptop's built in ports. Not the case with lots of other gadgets. It's much smaller than it looks in the picture and has a very solid construction.

I paid $US150 for it and would probably value it around $US300-400.

Actually with this product it's the first time I got useful information from customer support. I wasn't getting a signal strong enough with the Behringer C-3 microphone for instruments and they explained that I need a lower impedance mic that's closer to the Lambda's. They replied within 24 hours. The Behringer C-2, which has lower impedance, solved this problem.

It looks good, useful and does the job perfectly well.

This is a great sounding interface i used it to record from my mixer and 1200 turntables into an nuendo program. I have no latency problems even if i did the direct monitoring feature of the lamda fixes that problem by its self. The mixdowns are always crystal clear and CD quality. It also sounds excellent with any condenser mic you throw at it so if your a vocalist you'll be pleased with it.

It has everything i need if you need more inputs you should check out the omega.

User intuitive features with a small learning curve even a child can pick this up in ten minutes. The instruction manual is very easy to understand if you need a quick reference or to troubleshoot.

Its made of plastic but sturdy its a little tricky trying to fit it in a laptop bag though.

It feels like you just stole it. I would pay 3 times as much if i did'nt know any better.

The best support is not having to call for support.

It looks good and compact enough to travel with small and sexy... yeah i said it sexy!

My experience to date has been on the Midi-1010. Comparatively, the sound is very clean and I am impressed at how well it can bring out the natural differences between the various mics I have tried on it. IF YOU ARE HEARING CRACLKING SOUNDS: Make sure you turn off all unecessary background tasks on your computer. I had this problem until I turned off my wireless manager, virus checker, and firewall related items. Once I did this, i was surpirsed at the low latency and how I could dial in changes on effects and sends - almost as it it were an analog device. I suppose getting the full version of Cubase may also improve the real time feel.

For the price, the package is pretty swell. The Pantheon effects is defintely a huge plus. It lets you make great sounding recordings with just what is in the kit + a decent mic.

I had never used cubase and I had to record something with a group of 10 people within 2 days of getting the unit. There was no time for me to figure out how to use the thing and I ended up learning it during the take. It was surprisingly easy for me to pick up and go.

I wish there was some sort of case for this. I don't feel very comfortable just putting it in my laptop bag.

I would probably pay upto $350 for this if I didn't know its price. I got it for $170 since my local store only had an open item.

Haven't had to use it yet.

The main problem with the sound is that there is no wall wart, so it's incapable of supplying phantom power for my two favorite condenser mikes on USB-spec power and the result is that I have to plug my second mike into my dying old mixer, which I'd hoped to retire. Otherwise I can't get good volume. Some laptops will overdrive their USB ports with more power than spec, my Macbook won't. This guy really needs its own power supply. I'm going to go search for a "Y" USB cord that'll supply 5v power via a wall wart to the USB and see if that helps.

Other than the lack of sufficient juice for powering condenser mikes, this thing has all the features I need in a low/mid range recording device.

I use Garageband, not the included Cubase. Beware of upgrading Cubase, the maker of Cubase stripped out the mp3 export feature from the latest update to the "bundled" Cubase. _!_ them. Anyhow, it was literally plug it in, go to sound preferences, select the Lexicon as input/output device, and that was it. To be fair, the ease of use here is probably because I'm using a Mac. Oh, the controls are pretty easy to use and the supply of ports is outstanding for a product in this price range, and their location is mostly rational (e.g. the banana plugs at top and the XLR's lower down since the XLR's are bulky).

It's a cheap device and looks it, as well as sounds like it (if you try to power two condenser mikes from the thing on spec USB power). You get what you pay for. If you want better quality, pay more dough.

Good value for the money. Its competition doesn't have the range of ports and controls that this guy does. The only problem in the value calculation is that it pulls more power than the USB standard if you're trying to drive two condenser mikes, and some laptops like my Macbook won't do that.

Haven't used their support.

Sex appeal... uhm, no. It looks like a perfect match to my Behringer mixer -- i.e., cheap junk that does the job (barely). If I had to do it over again, I'd pay more money for better quality,

Does not have sufficient phantom power to run 2 condenser mics, yet if you try to run dynamic mics you will hardly be able to hear them at full volume. Even with condenser mics using a separate power source, the volume has to be turned almost all the way up. There is a constant whine on track 1, but not on track two. About 30-45 minutes into a recording the volume on track 1 will start fading and going in and out. I've tried several different mics and the result is the same.

Everything is laid out in a user friendly way.

See above comment on Sound

For what I am doing the product in it's current condition is worthless to me. I will most likely end up buying something with better quality and it's own power supply.

Have not had time to contact yet. Not looking forward to it either.

it sounds exellent for the price

had everything you need 2 mic 2 line

really easy to get up and going

it seems to be made well its great for home use and would be fine to take on the road

worth every penny

The sound is, well, okay at best. Like others have said, the Lexicon cannot supply phantom power to two condenser mics, which is a shame. When I plugged my guitar into it, I barely got anything out of it. The wavelengths were tiny. Then I tried routing it through my amp, and it was slightly louder, but way, way too gainy.

Free audio recording software. Couldn't go wrong with it, except I already have decent software.

All the dials and inputs are arranged nicely.

It's cheap. It feels cheap. Don't drop it. Like, it looks really cheap. For 139$ I expected better, I have to say.

I don't think it's worth this much money for what you actually get.

Can't say, I haven't had to call support yet.

Looks cheap, but is small and slim and could be carried around with you, so that's something.

This product has always been "picky", "wonky" and any other adjective to describe a unit that works only when it feels like it. As a MIDI interface it works reasonably well. As for Audio... I never know if it will play back, give me a whining static sound or not play back at all. I sure wish I could exchange this for something that was dependable. Because of the frustration of an unreliable interface, I sometimes feel like giving up recording.

Reliability? None.

It is not worth the price.

Sound is about as good as any...

Pretty easy to use right away

No longevity. My friend and I have the Lexicon, but both of ours crapped out after a couple years of use.

ITS SO SO GAVE ME PROBLEMS HAD TO KEEP HITTING THE DEVICE BUTTON TO GET THE SOUND TO PLAY KIND OF AN HEADACHE WE U READY TO RECORD GOTTA KEEP OPENIN UP DEVICE AND SETUP ...BUT ME I WASNT TOO HAPPY WITH IT!!! TOO MUCH PROBLEMS

SO SO

Cuts out periodically, clicks, stuff like that. LATENCY issues! Lots of them. Cannot play live and cannot monitor through computer. Serious latency. I have no problems with going through built in audio on my mac with latency.

HAd everything I was initially looking for.

Seemed easy, no drivers needed, however, lots of fidddling in preferences to pick the right inputs and outputs. WOULD NOT WORK WITH GUITAR RIG 3. I don't know why. Would not let me select any inputs.

Plastic. Nice, but don't drop it.

This would be higher if I could figure out how to work with this with guitar rig 3 alone or with garageband.

I have used the lambda and the omega. The mic pre amps did not create any noise for my recoardings, I have also used the omega which is ac powerd and this is much better than the lambda for powering 2 condenser mics. I also believe the omega uses pro DBX low noise mic pre amps which are flippin awsome.

Good features for basic usasge. I enjoy using cubase le as is very simple to use but has everything you need if you start digging deep within the software. it i handy especially for the midi inputs. Also allows you to use inserts which could be great for certian applications.

Very very simple to use. Have had no problems with help that i needed as well. Its bascally just plug and play!

Seems like a good product. Its made by one of the biggest reverb companies in the world and has lots of support from the harmon pro group who have heaps ov experiance in the music industry.

This is perfect for what you need it for. Some people have said that it doesnt run two condenser mics on phantom power very well, buy the next model up would be common sense(or use a frigin desk). If your buyig it to use for mics its perfect, Midi-Perfect. Great value for what you pay.

Its made by one of the biggest reverb companies in the world and has lots of support from the harmon pro group who have heaps ov experiance in the music industry. i havnt used support for the desktop recording studois but have for other lexicon units and have had no problems.

Sex appeal....Well it looks pretty nice sitting here on my desk. Very basic system and kinda looks it to.

I got a bad product and had to send it back for repairs. The recording quality was poor as it had a crackling background noise on all tracks/instruments. Also the non-zero latency made using effects difficult.

Best feature is the ease of use and multiple inputs incl. Midi. The worst feature is the playback latency.

Very easy to use but manual a bit brief.

Looks great!

Good value.

I needed to return the unit for repairs due to a noise problem. It was covered under warranty though although the repairer was 300km away!

Looks sexy.
