TS mini falling apart

While unpacking it I could already hear the noise of something loose inside.
I proceed anyway and to my big disappointment the guitar input port wouldn‘t work! After plugging in into my iPad with the App „BIAS FX Mobile“, I realized that, although the microphone seemed to work perfectly, no signal would come from the guitar. I have of course tested another guitar without success.
Then – here comes the worst part – while unplugging the guitar jack, the whole device inner part came off! The volume bottoms were also dislodged! I was honestly shocked and couldn‘t believe this was happening after unplugging an Instrument for the second time. I am very sad about it, I needed it pretty urgently for an audition and now I hope Meloaudio can send me a new one soon.

Best value on the Market

The TS Mini is by far the best value on the market. The interface is ninja silent and ultra stable, I've never had any glitching or freeze ups, and I can switch between multiple sources(DAW, computer, internet etc.) without issue. Even better is Meloaudio's warranty service; they definitely stand behind their products. Couldn't be happier with this little unit.

Better alternative to irig HD 2

I bought the device as an alternative to an iRig HD 2 and its definitely has a leg up on the iRig HD2.

I was able to get one for about $30 less as it was on sale on their website.

I love the ability to have an XLR microphone and a 1/4 line in where the iRig HD2 only has the one. 1/4 inch in.
This give you two audio in (possibly 3 with the MIDI in, have not tested) in a portable and compact device that's easy to travel with.

I am a dance instructor and wanted a device that allows me to bring clear audio using the 1/4 inch jack (mp3) into my iPad/iPhone while still being able to communicate to my audience via an XLR microphone and this device allows me to do both without the need for an additional mixer.

I would highly recommend for any musician who sings and play an instrument. This will allow you to output clear sound for a show on FB or IG live using your mobile device. You will need a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for this to work (iPhone/iPad users) This device is more similar to a USB audio interface but in a more compact/travel size option.

Good Audio Interface.. But..

The goods are well received and the product works well. But, the description of the component guides seems to be lacking, so this part needs to be corrected. (IOS connect cable is not included in this package.)

Works well on Mac, never tried on windows

Works seamlessly with Mac and iOS products when I tested it, computer instantly connected and worked well with recording into GarageBand and Logic Pro. Never was able to get around to testing on windows but knowing what it can do on the Mac, it shouldn’t be hard to connect.
