MusicRadar rating
Pros
Excellent Cubase integration. Quality interface. Pro-level EQ and reverb. Cubase AI included.
Cons
Plug-in mode VST3-only. No MIDI. Quite expensive.
Verdict
Serious Cubase users should take a similarly serious look at the MR816 devices, as they have significant advantages over generic audio interfaces.
