What we liked
- + Two mic inputs record a host and guest on separate channels
- + 4th Gen preamps offer more clean gain for low-output dynamic mics
- + Compact desktop size fits next to a laptop in small studios
Trade-offs
- - Two inputs are the ceiling, so three-person shows need a bigger unit
- - Pricier than budget two-input interfaces with similar core features
