Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 4 of 5

Pros

Good sound quality. Plenty of connectivity. Plug ’n’ play. Rugged and portable. Bus-powered.

Cons

Slightly confusing default routing. Not much to separate it from the competition.

The bottom line

There are plenty of other interfaces on the market, but at this price and with these features, Yamaha’s offering should be moving quickly off the shelves.
