I have two of these interfaces linked with ADAT and they work flawlessly, also the Focusrite customer support is maybe the best i’ve ever seen

It is very solid, very easy to use (on Mac OS) and to configure device. All you need is to go through the settings and adjust it to your preferences. If you are in favour of analog sound and consoles then you will love the free plugins that come with your purchase.

I have tested for more than 5 months now and I couldn't be more happy.
the preamps are extremely clean. I have used with sm7b, tlm103 and other mic. the clarity and warm sound it is remarkable (at least for this price range).

also tested with other preamps of the similar range and all I can tell is that you want regret it.

small cons. is that "Focusrite control" is not the best software to setup a device like this, its not very stable and has limited control over monitoring.

Great mid range interface for home producers

Aido98 10.09.2022

This baby really stepped things up a notch for me. The features that were a big step up from the cheap tascam I was using is the monitor section (lovely), the preamps, and the adat possibilities. Besides that it's just a lovely piece of kit, well made, sounds great, reliable. I love it.
