Roland Rubix 24 USB Audio Interface 2 in/4 out (RUBIX24)

really nice

Ottimo prodotto

J’ai acheté cet appareil pour mon petit home studio,il est vraiment au top...

After a few years of use, I only really have one bad thing to say about this product so I'll state this first. It was placed on my desk with me beside my MIDI keyboard and I found if you're a gamer, and you tend to rage, or abuse your desk it may have potential to damage your interface. A forceful slam on my desk made the headphone input lose audio in the right ear, so the headphone jack is a little less durable. But on the bright side of things, I'd have to recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing interface for a mid range budget. With a full metal casing, two ports for XLR and 1/4 inch cables, audio monitoring, phantom power, easy install, and easy plug in, how could I not recommend this? As well as having 1/4 inch BALANCED TRS outputs in the back and two ways to power the device. It's very comprehensive, simplistic, yet a powerful little interface. I've had no need to contact the support team with how easy going this interface is, and it reads directly into my DAW or OBS software after the driver setup. It requires a little bit of tampering in your control panel to get it working inside of game chats, and Discord, Zoom, or the like. Easy fix is the set it as your default device, and if it still doesn't work, try another usb port on your motherboard. Hope this helps! and happy recording!

Writing a review after a year of use. Please do not buy this product. After a year of use i have started getting a hissing sound when i turn the gain of both the inputs to 3 o clock. This seems to be a manufacturing default and everyone are facing this . Roland has failed to fix this issue and it is almost impossible to reach their customer service. Seller is willing to check the unit but once a sound card becomes faulty it is impossible to fix it because even slight extra drop of solder will impact the recording. Not recommended to be purchased at all. On a side note, if you are going to keep both levels at 12 o clock, it should work fine.

Roland Rubix22 USB Audio Interface, 2-In/2-Out This is a desktop 2 in, 2 out USB Audio iface that supports your standard 24-bit/192kHz resolution. The unit shell is metal. Rock solid. In fact, when i opened this, i accidentally dropped it on concrete outside in my garage. I gasped. But other than a slight scratch on the corner, the product works just fine. So inadvertently I tested the robustness. Just to compare, similarly popular and priced Focusrite Solo, is metal housing to but theres a lot of plastic on the inner housing. I'd like to compare this with my Focusrite Scarlett solo because its priced similarly and has similar features. 1. As mentioned, physical housing, Roland wins hands down. All metal shell . no plastic. Focusrite is metal but the inner bezel is all plastic. Drop test comparison , i'd easily put my bet on Roland. Having said that, the Roland is double the size and much heavier than Focusrite solo. This might be a factor for you if you plan to move around with it. 2. Both units support Direct monitoring but Roland's has a Stereo/MONO switch in the back which is really nice. Stereo mode, youre input 1 and 2 are separated in left and right ears. Could come in handy in recording. Focusrite is just mono. Both units have really clean direct monitoring equally able to drive a decent set of monitor headphones. 3. Roland and Focusrite supports 24-bit/192kHz ... both are excellent. Cant really complain about either . 4. Mic preamp with phantom power is present on both units but I will admit the focusrite preamp does seem to give a bit more gain to my Shure SM57. Both are pretty clean and hard to find much difference in recordings. But for my Shure mic, i use an inline cloudlifter preamp so i dont really have an issue with the slight difference 5. Roland unit comes with classic midi in/out ports. Focusrite doesnt. 6. Roland has a ground lift. EXCELLENT. Focusrite does not. I found this to be really helpful to get rid of hum especially for my setup. The hum is completely eliminated and direct monitoring is completely silent. even more silent than Focusrite which has no ground lift. 7. Focusrite now has an "air" button for the Mic input. Instant treble boost button basically. Actually grown to like having this switch , especially some times to brighten up SM57. Roland has no such switch. It will be missed. But you dont really need this for recordings since you can EQ. But for Live setting, That air button is really handy. I'm super happy with This rubix22. It's an excellent audio interface that in my opinion is superior to Focusrite Solo . I think it is superior to the Focusrite 2i2 as well since thats the bigger brother of Solo that doesnt really add much more . I can easily recommend this over the Focusrite. Hope this helps!
