Today I review a Blue Snowball killer, the Marantz Pro MPM1000U; a budget, condenser USB mic, that produce natural audio with an extremely quiet preamp/interface.

Today we’re looking at a rare audio interface from Aphex, the IN2. This thing has a built in optical compressor (that sounds awesome), a high pass filter, S/PDIF I/O, separate phantom power switches for each channel, and Class A Preamps that offer ~+45 - +50dB of gain (estimation).
