M-Audio AIR 192-4 USB C Audio Interface Review

M-Audio AIR 192|4 USB C Audio Interface

Reviewed by Orbitonthebeat on Guitar Center

Ive spent a few days using it and I have to say that sound quality is amazing for the price. The knobs are intuitive and if you have difficulty with them, the short manual has a straight forward explanation for them. Set up is supposed to be straightforward as well, but there are some issues that made it very complicated. I had to set it up as my default audio output or else it wlouldnt work properly. The interface would also randomly go to sleep and it wouldnt output any sound at all, so listening to music was dreadful. To get it to stop going into sleep, go to the Control Pannel>Hardware and Sound> Power Options>Change power plan settings>Change advanced power settings>USB settings>USB selective suspend setting>Disable when Plugged in. Like I said, im loving the quality of the sound but the setup is painfully dumb. Some apps require you to change the advanced settings from 44kHz Studio quality to DVD quality in order to be compatible with certain programs, and I havent experienced this, but some people say that their devices are forgotten by their PCs everyday, so their routine requires them to disable and re enable the device everytime. Despite all that the audio from my mics is super clear, and this includes phantom power for those who use condenser mics. The guitar is eerily clear, to the point where I can clearly tell the difference between picks and their textures (I use a single coil EMG which dramatically increases clarity as well, so take the last statement with a grain of salt). The design is very intuitive and simple to understand. Build quality is OUTSTANDING with the knobs feeling sturdy with great resistance for fine tuning, and the body being made of aluminum and a hard plastic on top for the lables. The middle knob also has a really nice rubber grip around it which just adds to the premium feeling. In conclusion, Im in love with this device, but Im a little dissapointed at all the dumb workarounds necessary to get this to work predictably ... More

This product is great. It definitely should be rated higher. I got this for christmas and the drivers were easy to download. The sound was very clear and I had no problems with it. It's very easy to use, and I really like how the knobs to control gain, headphone volume, and main output volume is right on the top and easy to use. It's a little heavy but it seems able to withstand a beating. The design is also very sleek in my opinion. The only problem I had with this interface is the lack of inputs. For the price, you get an xlr and a 1/4" guitar input, but that's it. When you upgrade your studio, you might have to rethink a different interface or usb mixer. Other than that, it was great for its purposes and if you buy it you will not regret it. ... More

This is my first DAW so I am barely scratching the surface of the Air 192/4's capability after only working with it for a few hours, but am already seeing it will more than satisfy my home studio needs!

I was looking for a way to fix the lag issues with playing my guitar through a laptop and saw several people recommend the M-Audio AIR 192/4. It worked right out of the box - NO MORE LAG. I'm a complete novice, so i don't use it for recording. But I'm excited by the possibilties. (Also, thanks to B&H Photo for selling this at a fair price. I've seen it go for 40% more on other online merchants)

Excellent interface. I use the it for monitoring post-production audio and music. The sound is excellent, both for the main outputs and the headphones. It feels sturdy. The knobs are large and easy to turn. Worked perfectly right out of the box on my iMac Pro running OS 10.14.6.; no drivers were necessary.

I'm no pro and don't have much to compare it to, but I like my new inferface. For my pc setup this was one of the only choices that had a rear xlr input hence my choice. Knobs feel good. Only down side I see is it collects dust like crazy.

I used this audio interface for 3 months before it started having issues with the analog output. One of the outputs to the speakers would lose signal or not work at all. The usb-c to usb-c cable was faulty as well.
