Kevin ★★★★★

The XMAX preamps are quiet even with my gain cranked, which I didn't expect at this price. I've been running synths and drum machines through it straight into my interface, and everything lands clean at 96 kHz. The analog feel is there but it records like a proper digital setup.

Alexander I. ★★★★★

Tracking 12 inputs at once for band rehearsals and everything lands clean at 96 kHz. The onboard SD recorder saved me dragging a laptop to practice. Analog feel, digital convenience, exactly what I needed.

Emily ★★★★★

The 12 XMAX preamps are dead quiet even with my gain cranked, which I didn't expect at this price. I've been tracking vocals and guitar straight into my laptop at 96 kHz and everything holds up clean. Ended up selling my old interface after a week.
