Doet wat het moet doen. Hij levert perfect geluid aan mijn jbl lsr308. Een groot verschil in vergelijking met het geluid wat een normale computerchip produceert.

Erg fijne interface. Ben overgestapt van een wat simpelere M-AUDIO Fasttrack. In het begin wat problemen met latency maar dat heb ik opgelost met een nieuwe SSD schijf in de computer. Gebruik zelf Cakewalk Sonar X2. Geen problemen met deze interface :)!

Een prima audio-interface voor dit bedrag. Het is wel eerst even goed begrijpen hoe het werkt voordat je zomaar aan wat knoppen begint te draaien.
Verder werkt het heel fijn, een goed signaal. Alleen gebeurt het soms dat je geluid volledig verdwenen is.

Prima interface. Gedraagt zich wat lastig onder Windows10, maar de website van Focusrite biedt genoeg hulp om de installatie voor elkaar te krijgen. Werk nu in Ableton met een razendsnelle asio.

Recent aangekocht via Bax en alvast uiterst tevreden over de service en de levering van Bax-shop. Niets op aan te merken.

De Focusrite zelf zit goed ineen en heeft voor mij alle benodigde in/out/midi interfaces en ook de audio-kwaliteit is prima. Enig vervelend probleem wat hier ook al door anderen is aangehaald, is dat er dus soms een uiterst irritante brom op het geluid zit die je alleen weg krijgt door de unit even uit en terug in te pluggen of door de pc te herstarten. Op zich zonde voor een toestel dat normaal gezien een goede 200€ kost en iets wat Focusrite toch zou moeten geregeld krijgen via de USB driver software (ik gebruik echter momenteel reeds de laatste driver versie en daar zit het probleem nog steeds in).

Omwille van dit laatste dus 4 sterren in plaats van 5.

Ik had al jaren een Lexicon Alpha USB audio interface in de kast liggen. Ooit gebruikt voor een notebook. Geen slechte interface, maar het zuiver opnemen van een jazz-gitaar viel een beetje tegen. Met name het wat lage inputvolume.

De Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 scoort in dit specifieke geval beter. Mijn opnamen in mijn Cakewalk Sonar DAW klinken heel goed.

Heel tevreden met deze interface. Had eerst een verouderde Tascam en dit is de moderne vervanger. Stevig en de knoppen voelen goed aan. Het licht rondom de knoppen is heel fijn om je ingangsvolume te monitoren.
Een minpunt: als je de pc weer aanzet, dan kan de interface het pc geluid met een zware brom gaan weergeven. Dan moet je even de usb uit- en inpluggen en dan komt het pc geluid er weer zuiver doorheen. Vreemd maar gemakkelijk op te lossen. Ik haal meestal de usb eruit, zodat hij echt uitstaat, want anders blijft mijn laptop de usb voeden en dan blijft de Scarlett aan staan.

Sinds kort eigenaar van dit product en ik ben tot dusver zeer positief! Ik gebruik hem niet specifiek voor recording, maar meer voor vervanging van de standaard geluidskaart die op mijn moederbord aanwezig is. Uiteindelijk ook zitten twijfelen tussen de 2i2 en deze, maar toch voor dit model gekozen aangezien het verschil in prijs een paar tientjes betreft en deze wél aanwezige midi-opties heeft die ik eventueel in de toekomst wil gaan gebruiken.

Ik gebruik hem i.c.m. een Windows 10 computer. Registratie van het product ging zeer snel en ook de installatie was met een paar knoppen geregeld. Spatzuiver geluid, geen enkele ruis meer aanwezig vanwege de balanced lines. Prima latency. De overige software die je erbij krijgt is mooi meegenomen, echter heb ik deze nog niet getest.

Al met al een top interface. Bezorging via Bax ook super. Ben zeer tevreden

NAMM 2016: IK Multimedia's iKlip A/V - Top Sound Quality on Your Smartphone

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

These 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.
