Published on 10/15/12 at 09:54Sound card 6 inputs / 6 outputs + 2 I / O SPDIF (never used mine).
USB connection, USB (2 I / O in this case) or sector.
4 XLR inputs with preamps correct phantom power.
2 headphone outputs with independent volume control.
UTILIZATION
The drivers are not always very stable, it is true, but with a few precautions it can be used in Home Studio (disabling any internal sound card and any cards wifi, use 48kHz and not 44.1 drivers last generation).
Otherwise, soundcard hyper reliable, already used in 6 tracks without problems.
GETTING STARTED
The front and rear panels are use clear (this is one of the reasons I chose), the housing is robust, the software is, as with any sound card, a bit long really take in hand (in order to make complicated routing).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it about 2 years ago, I had the opportunity to use other sound cards in the same price range, I've never been disappointed by the MPO in comparison.
Stability problems sometimes encountered (especially on Vista and Seven) does not allow me to put an excellent rating, but 8 seems appropriate.
I will trust M-Audio for my future purchases in this area.
