  • You need to share mics/speakers between a computer and a mobile device or two computers
  • You use a gain-hungry dynamic mic like the SM7B and want to skip an inline preamp

What users love

Skip this if...

  • You need a Hi-Z instrument input for guitar or bass
  • You require a physical mute button for live streaming or calls

Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Powerful onboard DSP that frees up your computer's resources. Commenters repeatedly highlight the Expander, Compressor, EQ, and Maximizer as standout features, calling them 'amazing' and noting they run independently of the DAW, saving CPU and RAM. Several users specifically praise the DSP's help driving demanding mics like the SM7B without needing an inline preamp, and multiple people say it convinced them to switch from other interfaces like the GoXLR Mini or Audient EVO despite other shortcomings.

Software reliability is a recurring sore point, especially on Mac. Multiple users report the Control Center software freezing, presets not saving correctly, missing output options, and the device disconnecting after Mac sleep. One user detailed three support tickets for basic issues like unrecognized serial numbers and non-functioning phantom power indicators. OBS and DAW routing failures on Mac were mentioned by several reviewers, with some ultimately returning the unit due to unresolved bugs.

Missing physical mute button and Hi-Z input are the most cited dealbreakers. Many commenters call out the single control dial with no dedicated mute as a major flaw, with one describing it as a factor that 'kills it' for them, while another returned the unit specifically for this reason. Guitarists and bassists separately note the lack of a Hi-Z instrument input rules the interface out for their use case, pushing some toward competitors like the Presonus Revelator io24 or Audient Evo 8.
