From your posts, that is your primary priority in choosing equipment They are cheap and have no physical controls which can break. Shop for RME, be prepared to complain they also use plastic for encoders and buttonsīut better look at Behringer rack mixers. You have bought something which does not fit your need, but that was your choice and not hardware mistake. The limitation with SOME guitars and far from the best latency was known from the beginning. So, you have chosen one of the CHEAPEST interfaces on the marked and have expected it is made of gold? Seriously?įor the money the box, knobs and sockets are top. It reminds me of apple with the faulty nvidea graphics cards for there 2011-2015 macbook pro's.

My experience with Focusrite is that they are a very shady company so I am naturally suspicious when they offer a firmware update for hardware that is now considered legacy.

The knobs them selves are wobbly and seem like they will break very easily.ītw I also had a fire wire interface from them a few years back. All three are plastic with a silver coating. On their website the 6i6 looks like it 3 metal knobs on the front - one big master volume and two headphone knobs. Focusrite gave me a "deal" with the 6i6 but im not impressed with it either. I bought the 2i2 about three years ago and moved on from it to the 6i6 gen2 after a few months. The issue I was talking about has a lot to do with firmware if the firmware is there to lower the line level input. Regardless, this is a hardware issue that has nothing to do with beta drivers.įirmware is software for the hardware.

Seems like you got a couple options: use a DI to reduce to mic level, or upgrade to an interface with a pad switch. It's a hardware issue limited to the 2i2 (and other similarly priced interfaces), the 2i4 doesn't appear to have the problem. Yep it looks like the line input on the 2i2 is an issue for many.

They may not be responsible for producing the faulty mic pre since all of the parts are from other manufactures sold for cheap and made by Human Beings for less pay than what is legal in Western Countries, but they are responsible for the unit that they sell. Again I dont see a good deed, I see shady sales and Focusrite trying to sweep the issue under the rug.

The honest thing to do would have been to stop selling the faulty product once they became aware of the issue and contact registered users and offer to fix or replace the unit with a unit that did not have the issue.

What good deed? Were they giving the interfaces out for free or was the company charging money for them? The topic is about Focusrite I have no knowledge of anything about Jenson so I cant comment on it. I'll get right on Jensen for releasing the JT-DB-E transformer used in zillions of commercial and DIY DI boxes for decades and across thousands of albums.Įveryone's known that for decades yet people keep using it.class action lawsuit time!įocusrite acknowledged that some pickups were too hot for the gen 1 DI input and compensated on the gen 2Īnd if you try hard enough ,you can definitely make a pickup that will be too hot for the gen 2 as well, or any other DI
