UMC404HD : Good for the price

It is a well made interface at a VERY reasonable price.

Pros:

- Inserts for all Inputs

- The preamps are quite good.

- I like the external PS.

- Works excellently with linux, (even on a raspberry pi)

- Well built

- Very cheap price for the built quality

Cons:

- Very low output on the monitors, it definitely does not deliver balanced audio signal.

- The software driver interface is pretty basic but what would u expect for the price. fair enough.

-The headphone amp distorts heavily if u crank the volume pot above 12 o'clock but at only 11 it can adequately power my power hungry AKG K712's and my Sehn's HD600 with no audible distortion, so no big deal.

Right now it serves my son's pc as a guitar-vocal practicing/recording/monitoring interface, and it does it's job quite well. No complaints for non pro projects.
