"✩ Rich Sound - Serious Gear ✩"
Sound: This is audiophile quality. The depth and richness is a real pleasure to hear. I have been using an ESI Prodigy 7.1 HiFi soundcard in my workstation. It sounds incredibly beautiful, detailed, but alas the Prodigy picks up some odd noises while desktop recording. I had the Lexicon U22 suggested to me by a sound producer and instructor. The U22 took a few listens to notice that the sound is subtly warmer, as if there is a tube inside. Which there isn't. It's very subtle. Overall it reproduces every note equally. No note seems more forward than the other. I use it with a Rode NT1-A condenser mic and a 1964 Yamaha acoustic guitar. The sound reproduction just makes me smile. For under $300 the sound is incredible. Well, actually, the sound is pretty incredible regardless of the price. I am mangling the sound of my guitar with Ableton Live controlled by an Akai MPK25. My eyes water at how perfect the combination is. Love it. Ease of Use: I run Windows 7 64 bit. The installation cd doesn't have those drivers on it. Very easy to find and download from the Lexicon website. The driver install program looks nice. You get to watch a Matrix like image of data streaming while you wait! ;) All the inputs are clearly labelled, wires can be routed underneath and forward, the led metering is sweet to look at, everything feels solid, it's a classy looking piece of kit. Once the drivers installed it worked immediately. Quality: Solidly built. Everything is tight. Made by people serious about their gear for people who want serious gear. Value: I don't think there is a better USB 2.0, 24 bit 96khz desktop recording device on the market. This is the best I could get for the price point. Manufacturer Support: No need to contact the company. No score here. The Wow Factor: It's a beautiful object to have on my desk. I like that the finishes are mat. Love that it is tilted. Overall: The only reason I might replace this in the future would be discovering a need for more inputs. My production method is pretty simple, so I don't see that happening, but you never know...

"Does not work at all with Snow Leopard."
Sound: Sound quality is great. Feature: Has everything one would expect in a basic USB digital audio interface. The form factor was the main reason I got it. Ease of Use: Very easy to setup and learn how to use. Quality: As well made as plastic can be. Value: Since I can't use it anymore, it has zero value. Manufacturer Support: Here's where the product fails. It doesn't work with Snow Leopard! E-mail "support" from Lexicon support staff simply states that unfortunately, there are no drivers for 10.6. That's it?! Not even a statement of whether they're working on it or an ETA on when drivers will come out?? It doesn't even say "at this time"! Seriously?? This is a new product that just came out this year and now it's 2 lb paperweight on my desk. I don't even have assurances that this MIGHT change in the near OR far future. This does not speak well of Lexicon's support. The Wow Factor: Sexy, but what's the use if I can't record or play audio? Overall: If they don't come out with drivers within the next month, I'm going to be pawning it off on E-bay and buying someone who actually does know about impending operating system releases and cares to keep the customers informed of their progress on drivers.
