The SRI-2 is a high-quality audio interface from Fluid Audio that can also be used as a monitor controller for 2 separate speaker pairs. The two XLR/TRS inputs on the front panel - with switchable 48V phantom power - can be used either for microphones or instruments. Two Class-A microphone preamps and A/D conversion up to 24-bit/192 kHz ensure high-quality and detailed recordings.
Thanks to the large and high-quality volume controller and the rear connections for 2 separate monitor pairs, the SRI-2 can also be used as a full-fledged monitor controller. An adjustable headphone output and power supply via USB round off the positive overall picture and make the SRI-2 a practical tool in the home studio.

SUMMARY
A basic interface but very stylishly executed.

Very stable device. Drivers do not cause problems at all! Also, there are no problems with a heavy load using VST instruments and plug-ins in a large number at the same time in 24 bits.
But my copy has a very unpleasant feature.
After a few days, a crackling sound was heard in the speakers when turning the knob, which becomes evident when the knob is turned back and forth. This is getting more every month. I have no idea how to deal with this, is this a warranty case? But it gets in the way!
