About USB
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface port on desktop and laptop computers. Nearly all recent PC computers provide USB ports, as well as the new Apple iMac and future Macintosh offerings. USB supports the connection of up to 127 devices simultaneously, any of which may be plugged into or unplugged from the USB bus at any time - even with the power on!

USB device installation requires no tools. Everything remains external to the computer and therefore no computer disassembly read more is required. The USB port is compact in size; it is therefore a "small miracle" for laptop and notebook computer users. read less

System Requirements
Windows 98 and higher, or MAC OS 8.6 and higher

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm sure I will use this device for years to come. I would buy this device again, although I might go for the 4X4 or 8X8 for more I/O's.
Sound
No frills, just two solid and predictable midi I/O's. Works reliably.
Features
If you just need more midi I/O's and don't want anything else, this is your device.
Quality
Made of very durable metal container and is compact. What I've come to expect from Midiman/MAudio.
Value
The price is nice and you get quality.
Manufacturer Support
Just downloaded the most recent drivers from the website.. no problems there.

Not a very sexy device (who cares); just a durable workhorse and that's what I needed.
