" ... Excelente tarjeta de audio resuelves a la perfección ... "
" ... Its very high quality and sounds incredible compared to my previous setup. ... "

" ... This USB interface has really expanded my recording ability. ... "
" ... I use a couple Mackie MDB-USB's as the solution for getting audio back out of the PC. ... I don't have an iPhone lighting to usb adapter in my house, so I have one on order, but I decided to try one of these suckers since I had them with my Pixel 5 as the recording device since I had plenty of usb-c to usb-a adapters. ... "
" ... I plugged this into my iMac with the supplied USB cable and it immediately recognized the unit! ... "
" ... I was skeptical about the power supply coming from the USB. ... "
" ... The only CONS is for the USB rear plug that feels cheap and a good part of the plug stays out. ... "
" ... A few reviewers said the 1-port version (UM2) is compatible with the Playstation 4 / PS4. ... For comparison, I had a Plantronics USB-to-dual-3.5mm headset adapter that worked just fine when connected. ... "
" ... I wish the unit shipped with a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm plug adapter for the headphone jack, but those are easy enough to come by. ... "
" ... And with a second XLR port, I can expand to another mic down the road. ... "
