Characteristics described by the manufacturer and other distributors. It is also a bit large and heavy for a 4in/4out.

The motivation for my choice is the reputation of the quality of the sections of the MBox (in a good amount better than a bad conversion to 48KHz with 96KHz ...).

My config. Home-Studio MACBOOK CORE DUO 2GHz/3Goram and a whole "mess" in USB ... with 2 plates on the entry card, perfect for a DJ scratcher.
Used with Live 7, Reason 3.0 and other Plug & other like Battery 3 Native home, KLC Analog,: No worries!

I repeat myself but all with a very neutral sound and high quality.

UTILIZATION

A map is not recommended for PCistes apparently according to some discontent ... Installation & MAC OSX.4.11, simpler, you die ...
Configuration child, no latency setting to do.
Uh ... a manual? Certainly! but what for? explain the ABC with a sound card that everything is on the interface? explain how to go from 44KHz to 48KHz? Thank you I know why my computer.
Bon bin Plug & Play so ... Wow! What foot.

GETTING STARTED

No instabilities at the drivers. Finally I find it still happened recently to have to force restart the computer (which is not usual) after disconnecting a quick bit of my "mess" ... Is this related to the card I installed recently?! Is less clear ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months and what else to say except that my appreciation for purchasing this card certainly limited: 2 inputs "analog" only, but high quality, the ear does not deceive.
It is not worth it on the MBox 2 Pro FireWire 700 €, it is certainly of USB 2.0, and is an inexpensive and very limited compared to competitors.
But I remain convinced it is a bargain compared to the qualities of the latter. .
