There is no other box at this price point that gives you high-quality mic pres that you can dial in for phase coherency when using multiple mics on one source, and gives you quality A/D coverters to boot. A great way to add two more channels to any interface with a S/PDIF or AES input.

Kevynfrom Henderson, NV USA March 6, 2013Music Background: Pro Musician, Recording Engineer, Producer Supa Clean!!!I have had this unit for 3 years now and recorded tons of 12 string acoustic, violin, vocals and even bass. The unit dose a great job giving you what you put in is what you get out, sound is very clean and ad conversion is on the level with stand alone ad converters which is amazing at this price point. If you want color too your sound it has harmonic sculpting the HMX knob so add as much or little that you want.....go Audient!!!!
Lessandrofrom Brazil August 24, 2012Music Background: Audio producer Great Sound!!The best choice for this price. Clear sound. Excellent construction and great details like metal knobs.
D.T. Infieldfrom Atlanta, GA November 7, 2011Music Background: Recording engineer/producer Audient MicoFantastic in applications that involve uncolored preamplification and AD conversion. I use it as a way to bypass interface converters when recording on location and when paired with earthworks-type microphone pairs for drum overheads, and piano stereo pairs, the transparency cannot be beat. Fantastic box.
Bill Shaferfrom Dallas, TX June 29, 2011 Very high quality, and great "bang for the buck"!!I actually did a shoot-out in my studio with the Mico and the Grace m101. Honestly, running both devices in "vanilla" mode (not utilizing any of the coloration features) I could honestly not tell the difference between the 2.For about $100 more, with Mico you get TWO amazingly clean & transparent pre's, plus built-in AD 96Khz), Word Clock, and digital outputs. Plus a lot more high-pass filtering options than the m101. For me, it was a no-brained which one to buy!!
John Rezendesfrom San Fracisco, Ca USA May 12, 2011Music Background: Musician/Recording Engineer AmazingI was using a Presonus Digimax FS preamps via adat into my M-Audio ProjectMix I/0. The Digimax really cleaned up the sound of the ProjectMix. Stepping up to the Audient Mico really opened up the sound of my microphones. It has more gain, great digital conversion and I don't think anything can touch it at this price point. I love this box!
Rogerio Netofrom Miami, Florida USA) March 31, 2011Music Background: Pro Musician, Recording Engineer Love it!!!The Audient Mico is a very nice Preamp! I finally got a sound with excellent clarity and color. Very useful for any situation. For the price is better than any other preamp for the same price. Thank you Alex!!!
JImfrom Waldorf, MD July 11, 2011Music Background: Pro HOBBYIST First one died after 3 daysIt sounds good, but the first one died after 3 days (actually after 30 mins of actual use) right before a session. Sweetwater did get me one in the mail right away...5 stars for that!!! The replacement is working fine and does sound good, but hey that first impression is hard to forget. Would I recommend it to someone else...Yeah It sounds good (not punchy, kinda smooth, fairly neutral on the A channel with the HMX off...it can get real dirty with it on. Overall Pretty Good, not Great.
