Convenient, but noisy

Posted by Jim Marshall from Seattle, WA on Mar 2, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Advanced hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Instrumental rocks

The convenience can not be beat here - you just connect this either directly to the microphone (dynamic or condenser - it will even provide phantom power) or to your XLR cable, and the other end to your computer - no drivers to install, it just works. Nothing is ever perfect, however, and with my condenser mic (AT2020) this unit has too much noise. It's not the mic that's noisy here - the noise is there even if I unplug it. The reason for this is I have to crank the gain knob all the way up when recording acoustic guitar to reach anywhere near the acceptable levels. If you just want the convenience - buy this thing. It's cheap and very convenient. If you record high SPL sources (mic'd guitar cabs, for example), the noise levels should be low also. For low SPL sources (acoustic guitars, pod/broadcasting) - look elsewhere.
