REVIEWS
Feature:
It's nice that the connection between the card and box is a standard Ethernet cable, therefore easily replaced. You could also extend the range of the cable if the included one isn't long enough for your needs.

Quality:
Great construction. My apartment caught on fire and the entire roof, along with gallons of water from the fire department fell on top of this thing. I picked it out from under a pile of wet, charred shingles and almost put it back down thinking it was toast. Later I took the unit apart and was suprised to discover no water or soot got inside of it. It is still functioning flawlessly.

Value:
Great value. I coupled this unit with a Behringer ADA8000, together the price ($730) was still under comparable units offering the same or less number of inputs and outputs.

Support:
Great customer support by phone. However, be advised: If you lose the installation CD you CANNOT download the drivers from the E-mu website. You must call (2 minutes was all it took) and they will send you a new CD for free. This is lame, considering you can't use the drivers or effects without the unit itself, so I don't see why they don't offer them for download. At least they don't charge you for a new CD.
