by Benjamin from New Ulm, MN
As usual, Shure shows its great quality control standards with the X2u. This little device gets a very nice signal from my dynamic sm57 and my +48V Condenser Audio-Technica AT2020.

This makes it ultra-easy to set up with recording software. This also creates an added bonus: I can use the X2u as a headphone amp on my computer, and it gets pretty pumping loud. The only thing I can criticize is cable length. The USB cable included is nice and long (but I needed a few extra feet in one recording session). I thought I could get around it by using a 25' XLR cable. But by doing so, I ran into a signal-to-noise ratio problem. I got a little hiss and ~14khz whine. I tried testing with a 5' cable, and the hiss wasn't as noticeable, but it was still there. So the X2u only likes direct-connect to my microphones. Altogether, the X2u is a fantastic device for podcasters, youtubers, or amateur field recorders. The quality is what you expect out of Shure, the sound is great, but the bottleneck appeared in its distance of use (cable length). close [-] Bridging the digital gap
by Brent Seltzer from Studio City
First rate piece of equipment. The controller wheels could be a bit more fluid, but it bridges the digital gap just fine.
