I have a Cakewalk UA-1G and it's working

cheap 8€ chinese usb adapter for that).
It's way cheaper than the UA25EX.
I looked at at it but it seems it doesn't have phantom power, right? How
about zero-latency monitoring, is that available, with adjustable mix and
option to have recorded signal monitored as mono (so appearing in both left
and right channel)?
Hi Atte,
No it doesn't have phantom power. It has zero latency monitoring (I
use it on a daily basis) and it can be enabled/disabled on the back
via the dip-switches panel. Now having said that it's a bit of pain to
enable/disable it since you need something pointy to reach the tiny
dip-switch. Not sure about the mono to dual mono thing I'd have to
check later, but couldn't something like this simply be accomplished
by connecting a single input to the 2 left and right outputs via
jackd?
Also another thing to take notice about this USB device is that it is
only configurable via the on-board hardware(it's an advantage for me),
i.e. sampling rate (needs a device dis/re/connection), monitoring,
digital vs analog inputs, input/output levels.
It won't do 96KHz for both playback and recording and again you'll
have to use the dip-switches on the back to select the 96KHz mode. Up
to 48KHz there is no such limitation, full duplex audio operation.
I hope that sums it up.
Cheers,
