US-16x08 : Perfect for recording drums

I used this product for recording Drums and sometimes live band performances.

Its design was simple and it suited the use in different locations. It can be placed on a desk but also came with mount ears for putting in a rack unit which was a nice feature that allowed me that option in the future.

The face of the unit where the inputs are tilted up towards the user which made it nice to plug in as the cables weren't flush with the surface beneath.

The gain dials had a nice smoothness to them which I found useful for small adjustments.

The headphone output is in a good location on the device.

I have never had any issue with connecting to my laptop.

The fact that its USB allows me to use on different platforms.

It would be an improvement if the inputs were both xlr and instrument line like other interfaces but there is enough inputs.

The phantom option allows you to just assign phantom to certain groups which is great.

All in all a great piece of equipment for the price
