Kompakt und für kleine Homestudios perfekt
CaSuSa 19.03.2024
Ich bin kein Fan von komplizierten Audio Interfaces. Das i1 ersetzt mein kurzzeitig genutztes Mackie ProFX6v3, mit dem ich überhaupt nicht klarkomme.

Zum i1, da ich fast keine weiteren externen analogen Quellen mehr habe, suchte ich ein Interface mit 2 Anschlüssen, 1x Micro XLR und 1x Instrument, beides deckt das i1 perfekt ab.
Als Zusatz gibt es hier auf der Rückseite noch zwei weitere Eingänge, warum als RCA und nicht als Klinke ausgeführt, erschliesst sich mir nicht. Aber ein passenden Kabel sollte das "Problem" lösen.
Man kann alle Eingänge direkt verkabeln und über den Eingangswahlschalter auf der Vorderseite des Interfaces kann man die Eingangsquelle wählen.
Hi/Z und Mic also 2x Klinke
Hi/Z Instrument
Mic mit 48V
und Line, die RCA auf der Rückseite.

Mehr brauche ich nicht und mehr wollte ich auch nicht.

Die Bedienregler sind klein und dennoch gut zu bedienen. Wer permanent was verstellen muss wird sicher etwas genervt von der fummeligen Bedienung sein. Für mich ist das kein negativer Punkt.

Einzig die Beschriftung kann man bei ungünstigen Licht schlecht lesen, da sie sehr kontrastarm ist. Auch hier ist es für mich kein wirklich "richtiger" negativer Punkt.

Angeschlossen wird das Interface über USB-C, was ich 1:1 auch an meinen Mac Studio so gemacht habe. Das beigelegte USB-C auf USB-A Kabel habe ich nicht im Einsatz.

Unter macOS 14.4 ist die Erkennung erfolgreich gewesen und ich kann das Interface in Logic pro X, Cubase 13, WaveLab LE und Audacity ohne Probleme benutzen.

Zusammenfassend ist für mich das Interface perfekt und eine klare Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite.
