GO SOLO High-Definition Audio/MIDI Interface for Mobile Devices

No esperaba la calidad de audio que tiene, a pasado muy bien las pruebas en un iPhone 12 mini usando un micrófono behringer B2-pro y con garageband cómo DAW

cheap and best

First, I purchased this device as New, however, the device was unsealed when I received it. Furthermore, the MIDI-to-MIDI cable had been fished out of the box, replaced by a second MIDI-to-XLR cable, and then returned. However, since I was needing an XLR & 1/4 inch mono USB interface, with output as well, I'm not returning it (although I should). The device itself though works well. My microphones now work seamlessly with my Linux laptops (using dynamic mics, but phantom power for condensers is available). For dynamic mics, the power via USB is sufficient. Playback through the headphone jack also works well. Audio quality in both directions is excellent; Audacity makes a solid-sounding recording. Keep in mind that you will not receive direct monitoring of input audio, whether from a mic or instrument (via MIDI either), only playback from the computer or laptop. If you're using a digital piano or electric guitar, you'll need to use separate live monitoring when recording to a computer with this device. In my case, for spoken audio, the device shows voice input with a flashing green light, and a red light if you're clipping (so turn down the gain). A decent amount of gain seems to be required with mics, though. I had to use 8 out of 10 for my Shure dynamic mics. There were even cables to plug in smartphones, if you have USB audio software or drivers for Android or iOS. But, as stated previously, watch the cables you receive, or might need. The included cables were (supposed to be), a USB-A (computer) to USB-Mini (device) for interface & power, a MIDI-to-MIDI patch cable, a MIDI-to-XLR cable (could be used in a pinch), a Lightning-to-USB Mini for recording on Apple devices, and a USB-A Jack to USB-Micro patch cable (use with main cable) for Android recording. There is a 5-volt power jack on the device, but the cable is not included; rather, batteries are included, and can be used with the device, if you need more than USB-supplied power (will definitely need if recording on mobile, borderline if using a condenser mic). For Linux users who don't need more than one (for this device) or two (for Go Solo's other device) audio inputs, and there certainly isn't a lot on the market for this use case, this device works great.

Long and short: if you're looking for a cheap USB audio interface that will take your 48V powered XLR mic and shove it into Windows as a microphone input...this is it. -The audio quality on both headphones and the microphone sound normal to me (vs. JDS Labs DAC + GoXLR Mini). No weird imbalances or artifacts. -You don't need to install batteries, it powers itself from USB. You probably want to install batteries though to add some weight to it. -You don't get any of the GoXLR software support (this wasn't clear to me before buying). So you can't do anything like compressor / noise gate / etc that you get with the GoXLR Mini. -It is somewhat "cheap" feeling being made entirely of plastic...but it's also a cheap price sooooo. I had to use a gain of "8" with my Shure headset microphone to hit -10dB levels at normal speaking volume.

Es una interface de audio buena y pequeña para ir y venir donde quieras, pero una terrible interfase MIDI se desconecta sola, se activan notas y se quedan sonando, lo peor lo hacer a cada rato, es una pesadilla, no ay actualización del producto para corregirlo ni ayuda con el fabricante, probado con PC y iPad y exactamente tiene las mismas fallas
