WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT

A combination of on-board DSP effects, a durable built, and quality pre-amps, make this product a cut above the rest in this price range. You can typically pay twice for an interface with similar pre-amps and abilities. Steinberg has packed a lot into this little guy.

It's a thoughtfully designed product that's got loads of great features. We think that it's perfectly suited to DJs because of these extra features.
