I recently picked up one of these and I'm really happy with it. It has decent preamps, which is why I bought it - it always seems like I'm short a preamp channel or two when recording a band! Its ability to be a USB audio device was a bonus, but a well-received one. I've not done any serious testing of it, but my experience is that it's quiet and has decent A/D converters. A real bargain! On top of that, it will take either XLR or 1/4" inputs and provides phantom power if needed. It can run off a 9v battery, an AC adapter, or a USB connection. A lot of thought was given to how to make this device as useful as possible. -- ====================================================================== Joe Hartley - UNIX/network Consultant - jh@xxxxxxxxxxxx Without deviation from the norm, "progress" is not possible. - FZappa _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
