Ideal for laptop use
I bought this product for my partner after much moaning that I was hogging the studio making industrial metal when she wanted to play acoustic guitar and sing, mainly to get ideas down!
Attaching it to a Shure Beta 58a is dead easy, and I had it hooked up to her Macbook in no time. It's got more than enough clean gain to record with, and functions just like I thought it would. It's not entirely noise free, but with USB you're always going to struggle with a bit of noise, and it certainly doesn't cause problems in the mix.
It has the standard t.quality build, well made and functional, while being excellent value for money. If you consider how much it would be to buy an entire new audio interface just to record scratch vocals and ideas, suddenly the t.bone comes into it's element! Not to mention the size, as a large audio interface becomes quite cumbersome when attached to a small laptop, especially when set up on a bed instead of a desk.
Overall a worthwhile buy, fitting nicely to the XLR output of a dynamic mic, and perfect for someone who doesn't need or want an audio interface all the time.

Nice piece of equipment.
It's useful for powering up microphones to use for Skype or VERY simple recordings. But i will never compare to a real mixer. But for the price, you get a lot. The build quality is a bit cheap and my Phantom Power button fell of pretty early but you can ju stick something narrow in the and it will power up.

Useful!
A great gadget and very reasonably priced for a mic interface for connecting to a PC or mac.
Works really well, the design and concept are great.
The dials are a little fiddly for fat stumpy bass-guitar fingers....

Just what I needed at the time
This is a very quick and easy way to connect a microphone to your pc. XLR connection to usb, with phantom power. Had some latency problems with the stock drivers but once I installed ASIO drivers it worked like a charm. Of course it only connects on mic at a time, so now I'm looking to replace this with a 4-input usb audio interface. This is a great, simple, cheap way to get started but be aware you might end up upgrading once you catch the bug!
