![]() ![]() We’re seeing bigger recording names on cheaper and cheaper interfaces, and Audient’s is a great entry to the market.īoth interfaces use M-Audio’s Crystal Preamp design, and this provides you with plenty of clean neutral gain (up to 54dB for mic and up to 44dB for line/instrument). The studio devilry is in the detail: Audient has really thought about everything with value and usability in mind, making what is a budget solution feel anything but inexpensive. Plus, you also have an orange phantom power indicator. That said, you do have two-tone (green/red) input/clip-level LEDs for each input so setting up a healthy but clean signal level is easy enough. Nevertheless, there’s no USB-active LED on either interface and no output meters, so there’s no obvious way to see everything’s working, which is annoying. ![]() With class-compliant drivers, getting started is as simple as plugging up and making sure the device is selected in your audio software. The rubber feet stop the units from slipping around on the desktop and both are pretty light, so suitably portable. Titles include the AIR Music Tech Xpand!2 synth, Eleven Lite guitar amp sim and 20 Avid plugins, as well as Pro Tools First M-Audio Edition and MPC Beats.ĭespite the amazingly low price, both units look well made and although the boxy design is basic, the black finish, recessed rubberised knobs and functional selector switches feel solid. There’s also a decent bundle of software, which you can download once you’ve registered the device on M-Audio’s website. Each package includes them interface, a one-metre USB-B to USB-A cable and an instruction manual. ![]()
