"A review for the ONE"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
The sound and conversion is identical to that of the Ensemble like promised.
Features
The breakout cable seems flimsy but the unique "one knob for all" is fantastic and easy to navigate.
Ease of Use
It's easy to use but has an extremely short USB cable, which wouldn't work if you used a tower like a mac pro. Also, it doesn't have balanced 1/4 outs for monitors. You have to but a 1/8 to dual 1/4 TRS. Plus when you buy it, it will add a lot of weight to the front of the unit and create drag. The Duet's breakout cable has monitor outs. Why not have the same or similar break out cable. This is definitely the worst part about the One.
Quality
Top notch, plan on owning it for a while.
Value
Ensemble quality for $250? I'll buy it every time.
Manufacturer Support
I had a few questions about the monitor out problem and they gave me a reasonable answer in a reasonable time fashion.
The Wow Factor
Looks amazing.
