I've never owned an interface that had no instrument inputs so that was a first. This product is directed towards podcasters and not musicians. However, you could enter 1 instrument or sound creating device through the "phone" TRS input.
Even though pretty much everything is plastic, the build quality is solid. The headphones are very comfortable and clear. The microphone is not top of the line audiophile level, but it is a massive upgrade if you use internal mics from your device or a all in one USB mic.
The device worked out of the box directly on apple, without software or drivers. The registry was easy since it auto-filled the serial. Very intuitive interface with easy operation. The bluetooth phone connection worked perfectly even with an old Iphone.
Overall I was very pleasantly surprised with the overall quality, except for the XLR cable which did not work at all. Replacing it did the trick.
Positive:
- High sound quality
- Sturdy contruction
- Easy and versatile connectivity
- Power switch
- Clear and easy software, easy registry
- Plug and play
Negatives:
- XLR cable was completely busted out of the box
- No "real" instrument input. (irrelevant for podcasters only)
