Lexicon Ionix U22 USB 2.0 Recording Audio Interface Reviews

7 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10
           3 out of 10
"Does not work at all with Snow Leopard."
Feature:
Has everything one would expect in a basic USB digital audio interface. The form factor was the main reason I got it.

Quality:
As well made as plastic can be.

Value:
Since I can't use it anymore, it has zero value.

Desirability:
Sexy, but what's the use if I can't record or play audio?

Sound:
Sound quality is great.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to setup and learn how to use.

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.

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.
