2 : Lovely sound, built like a tank

I'm using this interface with a Sennheiser e906 microphone.

The sound is very clean, no complaints whatsoever. There is plenty of gain available if micing directly beside the speaker. However for a "room" mic the gain has to be turned almost to max. At max there is slight interference sound, so aim to keep it under 9.

With direct-in using a bass guitar it also handles this very well. You have to use the high impedance button.

The interface is built well, and sits nicely on the desk. It's angled towards you slightly so everything is easier to see and reach. The buttons and knobs feel superb. The speaker knob even goes to 11!

The 4K button adds some air and sparkle. It does add slight distortion to the highs, but this can be more musical. I found it gave acoustic guitars almost a harpsichord flavour.

Overall, a great purchase. My only gripe is it doesn't come with RCA connectors (you get that with the "+" model), but this can be solved with an adapter or re-soldering new connectors. I will be getting another microphone so I can use this for my gaming setup.
