Question about Focusrite Scarlett 2i2....

[marc32123]

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone knows about how durable the Scarlett 2i2 is? I by accident dropped it. But it only was dropped about a foot and a half, and onto a pile of xbox360 video game cases. I only had it for like 3 days when this happened and only used it once so I can't tell if something is damaged in it or anything from just listening to the difference in sound quality or whatever. Do you think anything was damaged in it from what happened? I am wondering if I should send it back and get a new one, I have a 30 day warranty.

All responsible manufacturers perform a "drop test" on their product where applicable.

This is usually done with the product packed in its normal shipping condition and I would guess the drop height varies country for country but I would say it would be considerably more than 18inches! My guess would be "back of a lorry"? Say 1.5mtrs.

So, a device such as an AI should able to survive an acceleration far in excess of the drop you mentioned. Does anything rattle?
