"Not "THAT" bad, I don't recommend."

Feature:
Simple, straight to the point you get what you pay for.

Quality:
It's not BAD, pretty heavy, metal case.

Value:
Good for what it does I suppose.

Sound:
Can sound clean at times, best kept at a low db level to get best results.

Ease of Use:
There is no confusion, just plug in and go.

Support:
MAudio isn't that bad with their service, but if your stuff breaks don't expect it even within' a week, their slow on that part.

With the tremendous proliferation of PC based recording systems there has arisen a new need to interface mics and guitar to line level PC sound cards. Introducing Audio Buddy, the ultra quiet, phantom powered dual mic preamp and direct box. Audio Buddy is the perfect companion piece for any digital audio system. It's the ideal audio gateway for recording the 2 most significant, non-line level instruments - microphones and electric guitars.
