Twee sterren dus slechts, want als je de interface aanprijst o.a. vanwege de ingebouwde voeding dan moet dat wel goed werken.

Ook heb je een DI-box nodig als je actieve elementen in je gitaar gebruikt, dit ding is heel erg makkelijk te laten clippen omdat er geen decibel schakelaar op zit.
De driver is ook nog eens ruk.
Heb nu een focusrite en het verschil is dag en nacht. Alle noten die ik aan sla klinken veel helder en meer defined. Bij de esio kon het nog wel eens een grote modderpoel worden.
Dus als je serieus op wilt nemen, is dit ding af te raden. Wil je af en toe eens wat opnemen, is het wel leuk denk ik. Het deed wel wat het moest doen, maar niet goed genoeg.

Bax-Shop is de beste site voor al mijn producten en software! Ook dit product bevalt mij goed :)
Een echte topper de Esio Mara22XTU.

voor je (groot-membraan) microfoon.
Deze veroorzaakt brom (50-100-150Hz) op microfoon audio.
Erg jammer, want verdere geluids- kwaliteit en latency is uitstekend!

Op internet kom ik weinig informatie tegen wat me helpt om dit probleem op te lossen. Ik wacht nog op een antwoord van BAX of zij suggesties hebben en of ik de Mara anders kan omruilen voor een andere interface.

Ik heb als enige te melden dat ik mijn microfoon niet hoog genoeg volume krijgt om een opname van een klassieke gitaar op te nemen. Maar dat komt meer door het feit dat ik een sang microfoon hebt en geen studio microfoon, met sang werkt het wel heel goed. Een studio microfoon wordt mijn volgende aankoop bij Bax-Shop dan denk ik :)
Via de gitaar input krijg ik een super schoon en helder opname met mijn Basgitaar en Fender Telecaster.
Over Bax-Shop kan ik niet genoeg zeggen over hoe snel mijn bestellingen uitvoeren en afleveren. Ik kijk niet eens bij andere winkels want er is qua prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding geen andere beter te vinden. Keep up de good Work !!
Kortom deze audio interface is echt een perfecte oplossing voor thuis opnames en voor "On the road", geen aparte stroom nodig en phantom voeding ook aanwezig. Zeker een aanrader !!

Het stuurprogramma ondersteunt officieel alleen Windows-versies van XP t/m 8.1, maar werkt ook met Windows 10.
De software wordt meegeleverd op een flashdrive van 32 MB in de vorm van een creditcard. Na het downloaden en uitpakken van het nieuwe stuurprogramma kan je de nieuwe software ook op dit kaartje zetten, zodat je het altijd bij de hand hebt.
Let op: Het is niet mogelijk om twee of meer van deze interfaces tegelijkertijd op één pc te gebruiken. De tweede MARA22XTU start dan meestal niet goed op en is ook niet te bedienen via de software. Je kunt met twee van deze kastjes dus geen 4-in/4-uit interface simuleren. Voor het gelijktijdig opnemen van meerdere microfoons en/of instrumenten zal je een ander type geluidskaart moeten gebruiken.
Het is wél mogelijk om de MARA22XTU tegelijkertijd te gebruiken met een andere USB geluidskaart. Heb je bijvoorbeeld ook een Zoom H2n, dan kan je beide apparaten aansluiten en gelijktijdig 4 verschillende kanalen opnemen.

Ik denk dat ik de ESIO weer ga verkopen om een Focusrite te kopen.

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax MusicThese days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in. It's a broadcast mount with an integrated microphone preamp that will add professional-quality sound to your smartphone footage.
