Best value:
Excellent
I was looking for a USB audio interface with digital microphone input 1, 1 instrument input and 2 line inputs. All under 200 EUR.
With 2 mic inputs, entry instruments and 4 line inputs, the Lexicon Omega is perfect for my use.
The two mic inputs have dbx preamp with phantom power, I believe transparent.
The instrument input is in parallel to the input line 3. So that when my device is connected, the line input is inactive. This is not serious, but we need to know.
The interface allows you to record 4 of these 6 ways simultaneous inputs. Choice of two.
Without beings connected to a computer, the interface can be simple mixer, each with its own input diposant volume knob.
UTILIZATION
4 tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
Audio in Logic, I work with a buffer of 512 samples (24.4 msecs) but can drop below 10 msecs no problem for the interface.
The interface has direct monitoring required.
GETTING STARTED
Connecting to a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.
Automatic recognition. No driver installation required.
Very stable. No worries.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it daily for over 2 years.
This is my first digital audio interface. Previously, I went out of my console directly into the line input of the sound card's internal computer.
The price / quality ratio is simply excellent, given the number of available inputs.
I remake that choice without hesitation.
I particularly appreciate the input microphones and instrument input on the front panel.
I like a little less noisy knobs manipulation.
