"With 24-bit/96kHz performance, you
can record with professional-grade clarity"
"this little blue bugger might have
triggered a shift in my priorities. "
Andy Hong in TapeOp
Tom Phillips in Post
"The sound? Full, clear, true –
no clipping or distortion, even through meager iPod earbuds.
The bottom end was rich sounding with a nice punch to it.
It was just what I’d love to hear for practicing. Plenty
of volume, too."
"...quiet enough to make serious
recordings...
This is a typical CEntrance product —
it's elegant, simple and does exactly what it claims."
