Customers like the power of the audio midi interface. They mention it's a great XLR to USB mic adapter that works well, provides power to your XL mics, and adds phantom power for mics.

It does as it says. Works great with the iPad Pro and Logic Pro for iPad, but you will need a conversion cable… Yo Share, please upgrade your supplied USB cable for current USB connections. I specifically like the real time headphone monitoring without any noticeable delay. The audio quality is top notch too. However, I wish Shure made a Bluetooth version that does away with the USB connection altogether. However, as for recording quality goes, you can’t go wrong with Shure… It is the industry standard.

Excelente interfaz que no ocupa nada de espacio, precisamente por eso me decidí por este modelo porque para proyectos donde necesitas moverte no tienes que estar cargando una interfaz grande como las behringer o las focusrite, con este aparatito lo tienes todo, buen monitoreo, interfaz XLR, construccion de buena calidad.

Tuve una eventualidad yo diría que aislada ya que en mi primer pedido la unidad tenía un fallo con el indicador de phantom power pero amazon respondió profesionalmente reemplazandome el equipo por uno completamente nuevo.

El piso de ruido de este micro es increible asi como la cantidad de ganancia que le inyecta a microfonos dinamicos, en mi caso lo probé con un Audiotechnica AT2040 y genera excelentes resultados.

Definitivamente recomendado si buscas calidad, portabilidad y ahorrar espacio, muchos reviews en youtube se quejan de que el usb es tipo B, de los gorditos, pero honestamente esto es mejor ya que no se expone a que se doble facil como un USB C o un micro USB.
