Today I review the Shure X2u. This is a feature packed portable travel interface that offers latency free monitoring, monitor mixing, 50dB of gain, and an A/D converter that records at 16-bit 48kHz. The preamp and A/D converter of this thing are a bit lacking, but if you’re just using it for music demos or as a podcast backup, I think it will work well. For anyone looking for high quality audio, this will not meet your standards.
