The build quality of this interface is great, which is what you’d want out of a travel/portable interface. It has an all metal body with a good amount of weight without becoming burdensome while traveling. On the front of this device you’ll find a metering light, mic gain control, headphone volume control, monitor mix dial to mix between 0-latency monitoring and computer playback, a phantom power button, phantom power indicator light, and a power light.
On the left hand side you’ll find a 3.5mm headphone jack which does offer 0-latency monitoring as well as computer playback. On the top you’ll find the XLR port and on the bottom you’ll find a usb port to connect it to your computer. On the back you’ll find two slits that allow you to mount this to a mic stand with the velcro straps, and you’ll find some foam padding to keep the device from sliding around too much.
