The round-trip latency I get with it is roughly 24ms which works great for me. I use the unit mostly for powering up my condenser mics and recording audio. I use mostly the XLR input to capture audio from my condenser mics and it works great. Personally I use a laptop running 64 bit Windows 7, with 4GB RAM and an i5 quad core, 2.30GHz CPU. I use it mostly for recording vocals and never have to turn up the gain too loud to get a good signal. The pre-amp in this unit is transparent and loud. The front end has a gain knob for the XLR/line in channel with a -20dB pad, a gain knob for the instrument in channels (also with a -20dB pad), a mix knob for direct monitoring, one headphone output and a huge volume knob. The rear side has one XLR mic/line combo input with phantom power, two balanced monitor outputs, two 1/4 inch instrument inputs and the USB cable slot. It also comes packaged with quick setup guide and ProTools LE 8, which is an added bonus. The device uses the same cable for data transfer and power so you don't need any extra cables. It's a beautiful, metallic, grey unit which is really solid and of top notch build quality. The Mbox 3 Mini is a USB audio interface aimed at the home studio/semi-pro level. Initially I had my eye on the Presonus AudioBox 22VSL and M-Audio FastTrack C400 but as soon as I came across the Mbox 3 Mini I was hooked. I never need to record more than one voice at a time so a small portable device would suit my needs. When I started recording and mixing music away from my main setup (at home) I got tired of unplugging my audio interface when leaving then plugging it in again when I got back home, so I thought the best thing would be to get a second interface.
