Good product, but had to return due to lots of dead pixels on the screen
Anonymous 13.11.2022
Good sound, great flexibility with the inputs/outputs and buttons, love the feel of the knobs and all the hands on control. However, the LED display is only really viewable straight on, and most people don't use this interface with their head on the desk. An OLED display would be far, far better. And my unit came with about 15% of the pixels dead right out of the box. Must've taken a beating somewhere, or installed with a faulty one?!

Great sounding but no software means no routing options
nsfhmm 15.12.2024
I loved it for the premium feel, rugged enclosure, sturdy knobs and great sounding pres. Definitely a thousand steps up from my focusrite Scarlett 18i8.
Ended up sending it back though.

This audio interface only runs on a firmware (Mac user here). This means that there is no software option to route your outs or create que mixes in alternative and creative ways. The 3-4 outs, for example, are clearly there JUST for a second monitor pair, since the stereo output 1-2 and 3-4 mutually exclude each other.

I thought I wanted an audio interface without software to future proof my studio, avoiding to have to forcefully upgrade to a new interface in a couple of years (happened to me several times already), but I quickly understood that this no-software approach was more limiting than freeing, at least in my use case.

Thanks to thomann I had the opportunity to spend some days with it and finally decided to send it back.

The sound was sick, though. Recommended if you just need a “standard” audio interface with no routing option, I guess?

Great for home use
AsGoBrachLiom 03.02.2024
I have been using this to record guitar and vocals in my home studio. The build is solid and it was a major step forward from my focusrite 212. It works very well with Bitwig and Ableton. The screen is very handy as is the ability to split the sound between playback and what you are recording. I have not used the loopback function.

Great interface, clean powerful sound
ValAb 15.02.2024
I have to say the preamps are super clean, and plenty of volume on headphones and monitor out, must use good spiral copper shielded cables to avoid picking up interference, avoid unknown cable brands, this is a great device, I recommend.

Bought this as a replacement to a noisy 2i2.
Andre Cesar de Sa 06.12.2024
Couldn't be happier. Has multiple configs and inputs. "Blend" knob is a must and should be present in all Interfaces.
A bit overkill for my home studio, but considering the noise I had, I tried and I am not letting it go!
