- Please note: the XLR input does not have Phantom Power
- Please note: some users are experiencing problems using the Alpha interface with Windows 8 and Windows 10. This has to do with the fact that Lexicon drivers are not "signed" by Microsoft. You can find information on how to get around this problem by clicking on this link.

en natuurlijk, altijd snellen en goede serves bij bax!!
Het enige echt positieve is dat het beter was dan de Line6 die ik had en dat de Lexicon verder in het gebruik wel oke is. Een interface zonder poespas voor heel weinig zou je kunnen zeggen? Helaas betekend "zonder poespas" wel dat je een wat levenloos geluid krijgt, zowel het signaal in- als uit. Het is niet vreselijk of zo, ik zou het als "oke" omvatten.
De preamp voor de microfoon heeft ook te weinig gain waardoor het voor de meeste microfoons niet fatsoenlijk bruikbaar is en waardoor de S/N ratio te laag is. Phantom power zit er ook niet in, dus vergeet een condensator microfoon ook maar. Tenzij je een aparte preamp koopt, maar dat geld kan je gewoon beter investeren in een fatsoenlijke interface.
Ik heb bijzonder veel problemen met de drivers gehad, wat vele crashes tot gevolg had. Daarnaast kreeg ik veel sneller last van stutter dan bij andere interfaces, het lijkt erop dat de drivers van Lexicon veel meer CPU gebruiken dan gewoon is. Dit was op een Windows 7 64-bit systeem. Niet iedereen heeft deze problemen, maar het is wel weer een gok.
Conclusie:
Er zijn voor dit bedrag gewoon veel betere interfaces, met betere/meer features. Laat de Lexicon Alpha maar in het schap liggen!
cubase LE code al gebruikt en een garantie voor een microfoon bijgevoegd?
Heb deze tryouts gedaan in Garageband, HET programma in mijn Macbook.
Bij moeilijkheden (gestoord geluid) in Garageband ga naar Schijfhulp programmas >
Audio Midi Set up en stel de waarden in op 44100,0 Hz en 2ch 24 bits integer.
Lexicon is een heel leuke interface voor de 48 euro, geen geld verspild.
ECHTER, de bijgeleverde Cubase LE 5 studio liet zich niet installeren.
Er loopt eerst een programmatje dat kijkt of jouw computer geschikt is voor deze installatie.
Bij mij kwam er uit: your Mac can not do this installation, you need at least Mac 10.5.
Ik heb Mac 10.11.8 dus hier zit iets fout.
Terwijl ik deze review schrijf zit ik nog te wachten om teruggebeld te worden door Bax Music, over hun service niets dan lof, de schuld hiervan ligt in het produkt, de installatie schijf van Steinberg.
Alles bij elkaar een 8 voor de interface, heel goed voor het geld, en een 0 voor de Cubase schijf.
Meters staan op '0', maar ik hoor nog steeds zachtjes muziek.
Geen aparte volume knop voor je koptelefoon.
Als je de computer uitzet krijg je altijd een flinke tik door je speakers/sub.
Betaal een paar tientjes meer en haal de UR22 van Steinberg oid.
Wereld van verschil.
