"A worthy candidate for quality mobile recording (only 2 audio ins tho!)"

Feature:
like others, i was under the impression it had 4 audio inputs! apart from that it is very usefull. 2 seperate headfone amps etc. routing features..all good. however, balanced connections and a +4 dbu operating level would make it untouchable!!!! also probs with midi and audio at the same time, i use it as my midi in and a seperate USB midiman for my midi out. this combo gives the least jitter etc. Crashed a bit at first but not since i downloaded latest drivers.

Quality:
Still going strong despite my 3 year old son's best efforts. have only used with my desktop set-up so far. this product is ideally suited to mobile recording. my guess is that it's reasonably hard wearing. i feel as tho i really should be using an emu 1212 tho.... on paper a better bet for desktop! i get approx 6ms in and 6 ms out latency with pentium 4 3ghz and 1 gig ram.

Value:
pretty good value so far and i have'nt used it for mobile recording yet. it should come in to it's own in that enviroment.

Desirability:
say's it does a lot and does do a lot. not perfect but very handy and flexible. if i upgrade this will be kept for mobile recording.

Sound:
very good for the money.... stuff basically sounds the same as it does going in. pre-amps are good if you want portability. however i use a semi decent pre going into the line inputs... works well.

Support:
no need. just downloaded latest drivers and problems dissapeared.

Overall:
if i upgrade this will be kept for mobile recording. example: if i want to go and record my friends yamaha upright piano in stereo with 2 good condensers and don't want to carry much more than the 410, mics and a laptop. this really can do a very good job.

"Read this if you like to know how to use it for good."

Feature:
2 headphones jacks ... digital in (optical too) ..and more . It has all. Umbeatable for the price.

Quality:
Quality is ok. Only the connectors seems not so solid.

Value:
it worths the price ( actually worths more)

Desirability:
it is nice

Sound:
It sounds ok. low noise and flawless

Ease of Use:
You need a little practice with the software. Hardware is easy to use.

Support:
If you looks on m audio web site you can find many answers.

Overall:
I like the shape, the sound, the very very wide features. You need really take care of following : NEVER DISCONNECT OR POWER OFF THE DEVICE WITH THE COMPUTER IS ON. You can easy damage your firewire card ( or your motherboard). You MUST have a fireware card ( or motherboard) with Texas Instrument Chipset ( TI Chipset), Pyro, for exaple. If not you will have a lot of scratch and noise, Impossible to record !!. So don't start to work around drivers and similar stuffs...power on and power off... and so on. If you got problems , 99% are related to firewire interface.
