Sonsoles Ramos Sánchez: Venía de una mesa de mezclas y lo primero que he notado al usar esta interfaz de audio es la calidad y la limpieza del sonido tanto al grabar con el micrófono como al escuchar con los auriculares. Evidentemente este tipo de producto hay que usarlo con accesorios de cierta calidad si estás realizando algún tipo de trabajo de audio.
Se alimenta mediante conexión USB, (cable incluido). Las clavijas son, excepto la del micrófono (XLR), jack de 6mm, por lo que hay que cerciorarse de que disponemos de accesorios que usen este tipo de conexión o al menos de adaptadores. Tiene salida por USB y RCA para canales L/R si quieres trasmitir en analógico. Los controles son sencillos e intuitivos, y la monitorización directa hay que tenerla muy en cuenta.
Admite un micrófono XLR dinámico o de condensador, además de una segunda fuente de audio (línea o instrumento), y cuenta con una función muy importante: desconectar la alimentación Phantom. Normalmente, en una mesa como la Xenyx 302USB obtenemos ruido blanco al grabar con un micro dinámico por no poder desconectar la alimentación necesaria para los micros de condensador. Aquí se puede hacer con sólo pulsar...

Oscar I.: Es un producto que vale completamente la pena por su precio. Tiene excelente ensamble, no se siente para nada barata como otras interfaces cercanas a este precio. Las perillas se sienten masizas y no solamente sobrepuestas.
Encima de todo, también viene con un par de DAW en Ableton Lite y Pro Tools. Sin duda la recomiendo.

Ajmal BabuAjmal Babu: It’s great not only for a beginner to a semi-pro, but ultimately those who know what they want: an XLR port, 1/4″, RCA’s, monitor switch, headphone jack, volume knobs, and ultimately a solid audio interface that gives us crystal clear 24-bit sound quality with a sample rate of up to 96kHz — no complaints here. Could be cheaper, but beggars can’t be choosers, especially with that Focusrite brand tag
+ No latency at all
+ Self noise is not present. Best in class. I've used berhinger before. Which makes hissing noises
+ No additional power needed. Just the midi cable is enough
+ very light and portable but great quality body
+ Inbuilt sound amplifier is again one of the best I've used
+ Getting a free software bundle.

You can surely buy this product. From my personal experience, I've used m audio, berhinger, Tascam and other similar products. But this is the best among all.

DJ GodsOwn: So I bought this and I'm pairing it with my Audio Technica AT2020. It provides the 48v phantom power needed to run the microphone and works very well. I plug in audio from my gaming PC using a 3.5mm(sound card side) to 1/4' (Scarlett side) cable and it works great. Then I plug the unit into my streaming laptop via USB and plug in my Sennheiser HD579 headset with 1/4 connection to the monitor output on the Solo. It's a great setup and the mic sounds great using this "preamp". Before I had a Pyle Mixer and it sucked compared to this. All I wanted was a way to have my game audio and mic audio piped into one unit, and then be able to control the volume of my headset without having to minimize my game. This provided just that. I highly recommend this if you stream on Twitch or Youtube. Also, I dabble in music creation with Reason 10 and this gets recognized by the software and my mic sounds great when recording vocal tracks for music. 5 stars all the way!!

Update 1/5/2020: This Audio Interface is still going strong and working very well for me. I mainly use it to get audio from my Pioneer DDJ-SX2 DJ controller into my computer to stream on Twitch or Cue.dj and...

Ethan Ryan: This product works really nicely. I am a newb in the recording world so even though there aren't a lot of inputs or outputs on this unit (just guitar and microphone) that helps me because I am learning. I could see a person in a quick fashion outgrowing this unit and needing a larger audio interface that can do more but for now it works well. The software that comes with it, works easily enough, takes some tweaking to work with my 4k monitor resolution and Windows 10 but it DOES work! It again just takes some patience to set it all up.

I use this with some 4 inch studio monitors that I purchased and the sound is incredible! I use them for all sound not just for recording. YouTube clips, games, movies all sound amazing through this interface. I love its blissful simplicity.

For intermediate or advance recording individuals I would probably not recommend this unless you wanted something small you could take with you on the go? Seems like a funny thing to tag along though, its definitely more of a table top item. But for us beginners its a great way to get your feet wet with some simple recording. I play Guitar and Sing for fun and it has...

MATTW3RMATTW3R: EDIT: there has been a driver update on focusrights website that fixes the popping in hissing sound found on AMD builds. The biggest change is that it now requires you to use a USB 3.0 port. The update has fixed all the issues I was having with the popping and audio distortion. I am changing my rating from three stars to five, good job focusright on supporting your product.

PROS: It works great. Looks very nice as well.

CONS: It has a little bit of popping and hissing. Make sure it's plugged into a USB 2.0 I noticed a difference in the sound quality not sure why, It might just be a staticy USB port on my PC.

PRO TIP: Make sure your set your windows sound settings for this device to 1 channel instead of 2 because it only records mono. That means if your are recording voiceovers it will only record mono and during playback your will only hear your recordings on the left ear.

E. J. Howlett: I have been playing guitar for over 50 years. I started doing home recording back when the only thing you could use was a 4 track. I was one of the first purchasers of Fostex's 4 track cassette decks. I work with Logic Pro X now on my MacBook Pro. I have been using an M-Audio Fast track for years, and figured an interface is an interface. When using the M-Audio, I had to run the mic and bass, etc, through a Tube pre-amp. I purchased this on a whim, thinking that it would be nice not to have to use the Tube.

To be frank, I am pleased and amazed. No latency issues at all. Crystal clear sound. Plug and play, no hassles and an unbeatable price. The unit is very sturdy, and looks good as others have noted, but who cares about that, the sound and ease of use for Mac is all I care about.

I don't need multiple inputs, since I do one track at a time, and like it that way. If you are like me, and use Logic, this is a great buy. I express no opinion about using this with a PC, since you have to download drivers and stuff like that. Avoiding all of that is why I have a Mac.
