Works great right out of the box

Reviewed by Bluegrassguy on B&H Photo Video
This is a great unit. I pulled it out of the box and had it working with garageband in a few minutes. Having power provided by the USB connection is a great feature. I am using the unit to record my bluegrass band. Since we use a single mic setup I may even be able to use it for live sound.
This Pre Amp ROCKS!!

I do pro recording, and was looking for a USB interface that had more then one mic input, and this is so much more then I expected!!! I can record 2 mics simultaneously for vocals, and or 1 vocal, and mic a guitar or keyboard at the same time. It is perfect for what I do!!!
Good sound, east to use

I was looking for something to make decent recordings with minimal space, and this fits the bill perfectly. Operation was just plug-and-play for me ... Windows XP recognized the device and it just worked. Very nice sound quality, and solid construction. The only downside I've found is that the monitor level knobs on the back are a little hard to get at, but that's part of the compact size.
Best value! Clean sound

I was looking for a pre that is battery powered for portability, lightweight, and 48V. This is the one I went for, and in my humble opinion, the best value for the buck! Using a microphone notoriously quiet, (Nak CM-300's), I needed something to boost and be quiet. This is the unit!

This USB pre is a great addition for field recording, etc. with a laptop. Plugged it in and the software was immediately recognized with ability to record directly to Soundforge. Excellent.

I've purchased a couple dozen over the past few years to help others record audio from their home office. Very simple to install, great sound and sturdy quality. Never had an issue with any of the units.

I needed an audio interface with phantom power that was portable. I was sold on the USB Dual Pre because it has everything that I needed in a small, yet sturdy case.
BEWARE - this is NOT a stereo device

Reviewed by MasterMindingMaven on B&H Photo Video
ALL inputs are mixed together when you record from the USB connection. I bought this to record teleconference calls using an Innkeeper telephone device that iputs the signal coming in through the phone as one channel and I speak into a cartoid mic that feeds out of this interface back into the Innkeeper and into the phone. Our Edirol UA25 developed a problem and this was supposed to do the same thing, but it doesn't. The resulting recording using this device has both signals on both sides of the stereo recording, introducing the telephone buzz into the studio quality mic recording and preventing the separate editing of the mic and phone channels of the recording. In this age of electronics it is inconceivable that this device cannot keep the two input signals separate. Very disappointed. ... More

I really like this item, especially since my application for it is field and location recording and processing. Very portable and packs a bevy of features in a small case. Would like to have a firewire connection, but the USB works quite well.
Great job in a small package

I bought this as an alternative to the Juicedlink preamp which costs 5 times as much and sounds the same. Highly recommended for student videomakers.
Great little preamp.

It works very well. No software required, just plug it in and select it as your audio input. Use it with garage band to record two lines at once. Sounds great. One of the cheapest and simplest interface solutions i've come across too, not to mention the pre-ampage. But it breddah.
Noisy

Reviewed by Baris on B&H Photo Video
I don't know if this is dead on arrival, but this unit is very noisy. Gain set to zero, connected to computer with USB cable, no extra power and still noisy. Connect / disconnect mic, still noisy. Phantom power off, still noisy. I don't know what is wrong with it. Besides, this unit is housed in a really small box, all the dials and labels cramped in together.
Great within its linitations.

If you can live with two channels of 16 bit audio, (and honestly, most of us can) this is a great little interface. Everything you really need and nothing you don't to do high quality home recording. Also plug and play with Linux.

Too Noisy for Video

Reviewed by Experienced Video Producer on B&H Photo Video
I bought the USB Dual Pre - USB 1.1 based on positive reviews and recommendations for use with a Panasonic GH2 DSLR. After several tests and one shoot, I found the audio unacceptably noisy. The noise could be cleaned up in post, but that added more work and who wants to deal with that. This devise is nice for USB to computer, but not ideal for audio to DSLR....
