Miglia HarmonyAudio

HarmonyAudio

The HarmonyAudio from Miglia is a 2 input, 8 output audio interface, powered by a Firewire interface. It is simple to use, just plug in to your Mac's Firewire port and your ready to rock. It is clad in a brushed aluminium enclosure and looks good next to a PowerBook G4, G5 and a Cinema Display.

Great for GarageBand

It works fine with GarageBand on both Panther and Tiger. There is no discernible latency and it has a couple of unique, sweet features that separate it from many devices of this type. The first is the SoftClip button, this applies a compressor/limiter effect on the audio being recorded. Which is great for eliminating annoying digital clipping and can be used as a creative effect. The other feature is the 8 outputs. It will drive a 7+1 surround system with 8 mini jack outputs. I didn't try this feature though as I didn't have software to take advantage of it.

How does it sound?

Not bad, the audio is not quite as sweet sounding as my M Box, but the latency is better. One thing I didn't like was the headphone output, it sounded a little thin to my tired ears and could be a little louder.
