M-Audio Audiophile 192 64-Bit PCI Audio Interface Reviews

93 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10

"Utterly amazing!"
Feature:
I am absolutely overjoyed that the inputs and outputs are BALANCED and do not come in a seperate unit.

Quality:
This product was made exceptionally well. Nothing flimsy about it at all.

Value:
I paid $199 Canadian for it and it performs better than audio interfaces that have cost me almost $1200.

Desirability:
Being that it is a PCI audio interface, I like that it is almost invisible in my studio setup and not cramping space.

Sound:
The sound is very impressive and the best I have encountered in my studio from an audio interface. I have previously used the following audio interfaces: Seasound Solo EX, Edirol DA2496, Edirol UA-5 and the Edirol UA-20.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
This audio interface allows me to connect to other dedicated units pertnient to my needs (ex. microphone preamp - Grace Design Model 101, etc...) plus it has performed smoothly without giving me any unpleasant surprises.

"Great Card for small studio!"
Feature:
Balanced connections was the reason I selected this card. Enough inputs for a small studio with a mixer.

Quality:
M-Audio makes good equipment. No problems with the card yet.

Value:
I did lots of research and the product is really outstanding for the price.

Desirability:
N/A

Sound:
Had the 2496 for about 1 year and was happy with the sound. I decided to get a mixer and some other equipment. I noticed quiet a bit of interference (hiss/buzz) with the unbalanced connections. I saw the audiophile 192 and the balanced connections and thought it would be worth it to add to my small studio. The balanced connections did the trick and all the noise was gone. Rock solid sound at 24bit 48khz (my pc can't handle the higher 96khz or 192khz but someday it will). Very clear and easy to configure.

Ease of Use:
Simple to setup (but I had the 2496 before) and it's virtually the same).

Support:
Didn't really have to contact them for support by phone but the website is informative.

Overall:
I plan on keeping this card for quite a long time. It will handle all my needs for a small studio. I currently have a 1202 Mackie Mixer/KRK RP6's and Studio Projects C1. They all work well together and the soundcard with the balanced connections allowed the sound quality to be clear and precise.
