| | | Subject: | Killer and stable! | | Quality:
| Well built, I have had one of the very first releases of the Mobile Pre since it came out and had not one issue with it. | | Features:
| Direct monitoring and clean pre's are the best parts of this.
When one of the other reviewers said "The lack of a limiter is kind of annoying" he obviously doesn't know the basic's of setting gain when recording. Limiting can be done in software anyways, so don't let his comment detract from how great this little box is. | | Ease of Use:
| Couldn't be much simpler to use. Plug in, set your gain, set your headphone level and hit record. | | Value:
| Very good value, Lives up to its name "Mobile Pre USB". If you need more than just a preamp interface then M-Audio makes models with Midi and other options that suit those needs. | | Appearance:
| I like the new look of the Mobile Pre I have the first one with the Silver/Blue color and prefer the new Silver/Black look. | | Skill Level:

| I love this divice. I pit it against my friends didg design 8, and my other friends firestudio 8. | | Features:
| Don't belive the clip light on the interface, believe when you software says you have clipped it has generious headroom in the preamps | | Ease of Use:
| The company is very helpful but if you are savy you won't need much help at all. | | Value:
| Its the value and Protools compatability that sells this lil puppy | | Appearance:
| I think its cool, but its so small that it will be burried in your average studio and you won't see it amongst the gear | | Skill Level:
