Customers like the audio quality of the midi interface. They say that it has good DACs and inputs, so the sound is extremely clean and hiss free.

Minimalistic and easy to use
So this is my first audio interface and i have it paired with a shure mv7x. It was very easy to setup and get started. My obs recordings sound great and the preamp noise is also very minimal. Software is pretty straightforward and i just refered to the manual when i wasnt sure about something. The only thing i wish it had was a longer usb cable! Luckily i had a usb extension cable but i still wish i didn't need to use it for this. So hopefully Audient sells longer usb cables because i really don't want to use a 3rd party cable on this device. But overall, i am very happy with my purchase!
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched feature set for its price bracket
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020
I bought this to use for speech with my Shure SM7b that I already had for videoconferencing, as it has digital gain control for easy repeatability and nearly idiot proof gain-staging. With only a few days of use, here are a few notes:

First of all, the unboxing experience is nearly Apple-class, with a great deal of thought placed into the packaging. Unfortunately, the unit itself is not nearly as premium, being composed of a partially hollow-feeling soft-touch plastic casing. On the whole, the aesthetics are much better than other audio interfaces that I have handled.

Secondly, this device is relatively painless to setup, and integrates fairly well with MacOS. All that needs to be done is download the drivers from the site listed in the box and you will be up and running in no time. What's really nice is that MacOS can directly control both output levels AND input gain, so there isn't any need for trying to adjust knobs to balance with software levels. (Also now in Windows: see most recent update below)

Now for the actual audio performance in the limited capacity in which I have employed it. Keeping in mind that I have only used it for spoken-word applications so far, it's relatively decent. The headphone amp in it isn't the loudest with my Sennheiser HD6xx headphones, and the microphone preamps do get reasonably loud enough to use the SM7b without any external amplification, but only at the highest gain setting, which is not surprising given the price point. I personally use a Cloudlifter to amplify the signal to a more easily usable level.

Here's a more expanded take of it's standout feature: a digitally controlled preamp. This interface is the cheapest one I could find with a digitally controlled preamp, and it is very easy to operate, with remarkably detailed metering (for an LED display) and even a convenient auto-gain feature. Furthermore, if you are recording a stereo source, you can stereo-link the preamps for one knob fast adjustment, instead of trying to fiddle with knobs in a panic before a show every time you need to change levels.

Overall, I love this interface, as it is friendly for an amateur user while still being versatile enough for a more experienced recording engineer.

*Update*

Within the past few weeks, I had the chance to use the interface for recording a stereo pair of condenser mics, and it has definitely proven its value. The digitally-controlled mic preamps allow for stereo gain linking, which is a real time saver. When I would use a Zoom H6, it would take a long while to try to match the levels, and if the gain needed to be adjusted again, more time would be wasted.

However, one issue that cropped up was phantom power delivery with two channels. I have accidentally dropped the interface a few times, so it likely isn't a flaw, but damage.

Update 7/18/20

Evo Audio has released a new tool as part of their latest drivers, called Evo control, that allows for full software control of the interface from the connected computer, and it works like a dream, exactly as promised. Furthermore, with the new Windows drivers, the interface volume knob controls the output from Windows, so there is just one output level, no matter where you change it from. This is much better than before, when there were two separate output levels to monitor (from Windows to interface, and output level from interface). The longer I have this interface, the more glad I am that I bought it, as there have been consistent feature additions.
