I hadn't heard of the Audient Evo 4. I'll check it out, thank you. What are the general thoughts on interfaces like the Mackie Onyx Producer 2.2 or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen)? I haven't really heard anyone speak of Mackie since the Onyx Blackjack, and the Focusrite seems to be on...

At the moment, I probably only need one input, as my co-host and I are working remotely, but it would be good to have a second input, for when life gets back to normal. I did look at the RODE AI-1 briefly, but it looks a little too simple?

I’m after a new Audio Interface for my RE20 and FetHead. I previously owned the Mackie Onyx Blackjack 2x2, and it served me well. However, its drivers are no longer supported by Mackie, and I have no end of issues getting it to work properly with Windows 10. Ideally, I’d like an Audio...

I recently received delivery of a brand new RODE PSA1 boom arm from Amazon, as it'd gotten a lot of great reviews, and seemed to be everyone's "go-to" choice. However, after setting it up, I was less than impressed, as the springs were audibly creaky, the action just wasn't smooth enough, and...

Bdenton - All I know is that I'd like the following... PC / Mac connectivity x2 XLR channels Phantom power Low-Cut / High-Pass Filter Pad control High dynamic range High sample rates High gain for the RE20 Headphone monitoring A reasonable amount of headroom Plus anything else I've over looked...

Regarding the Mackie Onyx Blackjack, Gearwire posted a review that mentions.... My questions are, do I need low-cut controls on an interface if I use the RE20's low-cut filter? And what other interfaces in the Blackjack's price range include the features lacking in the Blackjack?

Kenny - The plan is to hook up my RE20 to a preamp, and plug the preamp directly into the PC via USB. I haven't considered a mixer. £150 is all I can afford at the moment - That's approximately $245 at the current exchange.

Best USB preamp / audio interface for around £150 / $245... Thought I'd start a new thread for this... I've decided on getting a USB audio interface as opposed to an analog preamp, due to the additional amount of money I'd need to spend on hooking up the analog preamp with my PC. Now the...

I did, and the FMR looks very nice, but a little out of my price range ATM. :( I live in England, and there's precious nothing around here. I didn't even know Sound Devices did a USB preamp, so many thanks for letting me know! Though, if I was going to pony up the dough to get the USB...

That's a single channel preamp, right? I'm after two channels. What about an ART USB Dual Pre and swapping out the tube(s)? Or is that preamp going to be noisy no matter what you do?

I would, but I'm not aware of any stores within gettable distance to. I've heard a lot of good things about Focusrite, but the ISA One is only a one channel preamp, correct? How does their Saffire range compare? If Golden Age did a two channel preamp, that would be pretty schweet. What...

Hey guys, First post! And with that, another question about preamps (hope this is the right forum to post in)... What would you say are the best sounding, most inexpensive, dual channel preamps for use with the Electro-Voice RE20 specifically? Eventually, I'd like to get a Sound Devices...
