The EIE is a fantastic audio interface, which I am selling due to upgrading to a new Focusrite system. I have been using this interface for almost a decade and it has served me very well. On top of being a 4in 4out plug and play device, it is also a 3 port USB hub – which is very useful for connecting devices that do not depend on fast data transfer rates – i.e. mice, keyboards & MIDI controllers.
Everything is working fine HOWEVER there is a loud crackling sound when adjusting the main volume knob – this is only audible when turning the knob and disappears when settled. I have tried opening it up to get to the specific pot but it is not easily accessible – if you have a bit more technical knowhow it is probably a very easy fix by either using contact cleaner or replacing the pot altogether. Here is what the original documentation says about the EIE:
One convenient box to connect all of your music gear to your computer.The EIE is all about plug and play convenience. With the EIE tabletop USB audio interface from Akai Professional, you can connect virtually any musical instrument or piece of production gear to your computer. With three convenient USB inputs in addition to its main USB port, EIE enables you to connect controllers, hard drives or any other peripheral to your computer when native ports may be limited. This compact, 16-bit recording interface contains high-quality components including nickel-plated input jacks, analog-style VU meters and a rugged aluminum casing for a powerful, professional, portable audio solution. The EIE can be used with virtually any music software program like GarageBand or Pro Tools and connects plug-and-play to Macs or PCs; there is no driver installation required.Each channel of the EIE has an XLR- combo jack, dedicated gain-pot and Mic/Line/Guitar switch. The EIE features four discrete-design preamplifiers with 48V phantom power for use with virtually any microphone. Individual nickel-plated jacks found on the back of EIE provide you with channel inserts for processing audio signals externally. You can monitor sessions on multiple sets of studio monitors using the four balanced outputs, which are also nickel-plated. Both pairs of outputs can be monitored visually with the high-quality, analog VU meters providing classic features with modern style. For remote tracking and alternative playback, the EIE has a 1/4 TRS headphone output. High quality analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters ensure that every detail of your session or performance gets captured and played back faithfully.The EIE sends and receives four audio channels on a single USB cable for simple, universal interface to your computer. The three additional USB 1.1 ports allow the EIE to function as a hub as well, bridging other MIDI controllers and hard-drives to the computer. EIE’s USB interface is class compliant for plug-and-play operation with Mac OS X and Windows XP, Vista and 7.
