M-Audio USB C Audio Interface, XLR Condenser Microphone and Studio Headphones for Recording, Podcasting, Streaming with HD Sound - AIR192x4VSPro

I did quite a bit of research before opting for the M-Audio. I personally prefer the layout of the knobs on the top, as I don't need to reach down to figure out what is what. It lives on one side of my desk and I use it not only for recording, but as the main sound card for my PC. The 192-6 has two inputs which allow me to record vocals in stereo (coming off an effects pedal). Most importantly, it has a blend between direct monitoring and USB sound, to deal with any latency. It also has MIDI ports in case I need to hook up a MIDI keyboard/pad in the future. The quality and build are excellent. The only issue I faced was not getting any sound from my PC (e.g. playing mp3, YouTube, etc.), although I got the sound from the DAW. I found out that to fix this, I needed to select a sample rate of 48000 in the M-Audio applet. It might also be worthwhile to try different USB ports, and finally make sure you're not using any USB hubs, which can interfere with the memory allocation. Now, everything works perfectly. The 192-6 is hooked up to my desktop speakers through two TS>RCS cables as RCS are the only inputs on them. Although the 192-6 monitor outputs are TRS, this doesn't damage the interface, but you lose -6dB. In the future, I might invest in some proper studio monitors which have TRS and/or XLR inputs.Overall, the 192-6 offers more features compared to more expensive 2i2o interfaces, has very low noise and latency. Strongly recommended.

I've been using the M-Audio AIR 192|6 for a while now, and it's been great for my home recording setup. The sound quality is clean and detailed, and the build feels solid. I love having both XLR/TRS and line inputs, plus MIDI I/O for my gear. Setup was easy, and latency is super low. My only gripe is the headphone output could be louder, but overall, it’s a great value and perfect for small studio work. Also powered by usb so can be very portable as dont beed heavy power leads with it

Amazing product! Absolutely worth every penny.

This is my first music interface. I bought this to use with an old iMac (2011) with Sierra iOS. I’m using GarageBand and an M-Audio Oxygen keyboard.This unit was easy to set up, iMac recognised it straight away. I’m recording drums through it as well and this too has been a breeze.The unit is nice and heavy (doesn’t feel cheap and flimsy) which is reassuring.Vet happy so far, I would recommend....!!

I love the look and feel of this interface, the build quality is top notch. I suffered from the audio stuttering as mentioned in other reviews - however I accidentally stumbled on a fix fir the issue. If I open iTunes and play any song for a few secs and the hit pause leaving the iTunes window open, I get no audio stuttering or any audio clicks, pops etc on any other audio source like YouTube, etcThis unit is obv suffering some sort of conflict with iTunes software somehow resolving the conflict - maybe iTunes is dictating the sample rate? I don’t know but whatever it is it works 100% as it should by using this method - I hope this helps others as I was beyond frustrated and on the verge of sending this unit back until I discovered this fix.Would like to know if it works for others too!?

I'm a fan of M-Audio interfaces, they always sound great.Headphones.First and for most, you'll need a headphone amp to get good sound levels with 250ohm headphones.The device is very slick and shiny looking. The big knob for volume control is really nice and all knobs feel solid and well made. The LED lights are hidden away until you power something which adds to the slickness. The single XLR port is at the back which is very handy because you limit the amount of wires coming from the front.Sound quality is really good and clear sounding and doesn't have any notable self noise.The build quality is metal with a glass looking plastic top.Very decent for the price, especially if you only need one instrument and one mic.

The quality seems quite good at first - sturdy construction and good quality feeling dials (I would probably give it 3 stars as loading the drivers was not that easy, and it seems to be a bit hit and miss working with Audacity). However, after 5 or 6 months or so, my unit started distorting my voice.No problem- just contact their support people? I would love to!Their support process seems to be to let me raise a ticket, then not answer, other than to give me notifications that say my ticket is being auto closed.-------Update - put from 1 star back to 3I finally got someone to answer my emails, and from that point they were very helpful and the item was returned via Amazon for a full refund. Did I buy a replacement from the same manufacturer? No. I need something that runs with Audacity without any issues, and is easy to set up.

5 years of hard use and still working like new. Connects easy to windows 11 using fl studio. Audio quality is fair for the price. Size is a little on the big size but other than it easily scratching, no issues.
