Rating: - Great and cheap!!
Can't beat the price to skip crappy soundcards and 3.5 mm jacks to squeeze sound out of the computer, with no additional power source or weird cables required.
Instructions attached are useless, so be advised that some experimenting and exploring will be needed. In a Mac, under the "sounds" button of the control panel, you have to choose USB Codec as output.
Ergonomics are odd, but really not an issue since you rarely get to manipulate this gadget.
Rating: - Does what devices costing 3-5 times as much do.
Got this little gem, plugged it into my Windows XP desktop and it was recognized and set up within seconds. Plugged a standard RCA (red & white connectors) cable into it then to the CD-in of my stereo receiver and was listening to mp3s within minutes. Plugged it into a Vista laptop again with no trouble and nothing to do on my part.
I was needing a USB sound card/interface to run karaoke from a laptop and was looking at devices (M-Audio, Soundblaster, etc) costing a hundred ... Read More
Rating: - Decent....weigh your options
This items ok. It does record at 48khz (CD Quality) which is the main thing. As a broke college student I was looking for an inexpensive way to run from my mixer to my laptop. Overall its a decent product, functionality and simplicity are pretty good. My main (and only I guess) beef with this product is that I cannot leave it plugged in when I power on my laptop. It may be because I have Vista. Other than that if you can't afford anything more expensive, you get what you pay for. If you can, purchase ... Read More
Rating: - Great item and can be monitored with the speakers
I got this after purchasing a competitor's similar device (iMic) and finding poor reviews from audio purists about that model. This Behringer model had good reviews and was a similar price to I got one to try. It works well and has more rugged construction.
When I first set it up, it did not allow monitoring except through headphones. On my Windows XP system, I went to Control Panel and opened Sounds and Audio Devices. Then clicked the Audio tab and changed the Sound Playback device to ... Read More
Rating: - Works Great - Use to record LPs to iTunes
This product works precisely as advertised. I use it to record my LPs to MP3 then import into iTunes. I have my old turntable feeding into a pre-amp, then from the pre-amp to this devise, which in turn plugs into one of my computer's USB ports. I use "Spin-it-again" software to capture the music files and save them to MP3 format. This set up was much cheaper than buying one of those USB turntables since I already had my old turntable. Good Luck.
