Amazona's expert reviewer, Michael Fendt, has taken AXE I/O, IK's new audio interface/controller for guitarists and bass players, through its paces and clearly what he discovers. So much that he awards it with the maximum rating and "Sehr gut" accolade!

Read some of his key comments here:

"AXE I/O is a very well conceived product that delivers what is promised. When you consider the fact that in addition, you also get a software package that's worth the purchase price of the hardware unit, you just cannot praise the value for money enough."

"As to the combination of quality of converters, hardware and software, there's in fact nothing comparable on the market. The focus are shredders of course but AXE I/O can also be seen as a real alternative to the usual USB audio interfaces."

Plus points
+ Hardware is very solid and feels good
+ Comprehensive feature set
+ Hardware and software bundle
+ Value for money
+ Very well conceived concept
+ Reamping option

Here are some quotes from the original review in German:

"Ein gelungenes Produkt, das IK Multimedia AXE I/O Audiointerface hält, was es verspricht. Wenn man den Aspekt betrachtet, dass man ein Software-Paket dazu bekommt, was nahezu den Anschaffungspreis der Hardware deckt, kann man beim Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nur noch Höchstnoten vergeben."

"In der Kombination Wandlerqualität, Hardware und Software gibt es tatsächlich nichts Vergleichbares auf dem Markt. Der Fokus liegt zwar bei den Saitenakrobaten, dennoch ist das AXE I/O auch als Konkurrenz handelsüblicher USB-Audiointerfaces zu sehen."

Plus
+ Hardware solide und haptisch sehr gut
+ Ausstattung
+ Hardware/Software-Bundle
+ Preis-Leistung
+ konzeptionell gut durchdacht
+ Re-Amping-Option
