Choose it if…
- You have an XLR microphone and need a microphone preamp to connect it to your computer.
- You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
- You have desk space for the interface and access to its gain and headphone controls.
Before choosing this model
- Set capture output separately from the display passthrough mode. Configure the audio returns before going live so HDMI audio and computer loopback do not reach OBS twice.
- A USB connector alone does not make this model a console microphone. Check the exact platform below.
- Plan space for the interface and its cables. Size the stand or arm for your separate microphone.
- Check the included cable against the available data port. Add only the adapters or headphones your chosen path needs.
