Reviews for Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 896HD FireWire Audio Interface (Macintosh and Windows)
Feature: Channel levels metering is nice.
Quality: Occurrences: (Mind you I use this system only 2 days per month) #1 Main Out went dead. Paid $70 for factory repair. Out $12 for shipping. #2 Power boot problems, whole unit dead. Covered under previous paid repair warranty. Out $12 for shipping. #3 Received "new" one. Screws missing holding up the XLR backplane. #4 In progress. This all happened under a span of 1 year! UNRELIABLE.
Value: Value is why I bought this. However it has failed me when I have needed it, so I wouldn't buy another MOTU product again.
Desirability: I don't want mine anymore.
Sound: Very clean.
Ease of Use: Definitely not plug & play, but got up and running pretty quickly after overcoming problems with the new laptop. (Tiger migration)
Support: Ugh... Customer support line always busy. After getting in, the service is very good. I believe they only have one tech support guy, which has its upsides in that when you call back and get through, you talk to the same guy.
Overall: Reliability issues. Tech support is good.
