Pretty good for what it does
I have been looking for a solution (for traveling) to try and match or come close to the sound quality I get when doing voiceover work from my home studio (using a Mackie Onyx 1220 mixer - which has a pretty darn good microphone preamp in it).
Along with this Shure unit, I have tried 3 other USB interfaces and my final solution for traveling will be a very small compact (excellent sounding) Mackie 402VLZ4 mixer. This mixer does not have USB but has noticeably more dynamic range (full, natural audio quality) than these USB interfaces I have been trying.
Now, the mixer with its power supply is MUCH bulkier and heavier than this slim unit, but I have a big piece of baggage I'm going to be using so… :-)
That said, for many people in many instances, this Shure interface should work just fine. Very nice solid build, I like the way the volume controls (dials) are situated (compared to some of the others on the market which have knobs instead of dials).
It's a tad "heavy" for its size, but it not really too heavy at all & does a good job – probably as well if not better than other similar "stick" type interfaces.
