Detail: tried the RCA ins for outboard gear, was not having signal; only RCA out works for this task, if you wish to have your gear going back to the Q-24, you should use the XLR/TRS connectors in the front, but for sending signal to the analog gear you can use the RCA outs, at least worked with an Alesis 3630.

[@PauloEduAmaral]

To get signal from the RCA inputs you have to turn on the Loopback switch.

[@MuhazirAzhari]

Is this interface have 4 analog output ? Are the rca output is realy outpur 3 and 4 or just like the main output 1 and 2

[@semogeng-master]

TRS & RCA as outs 1 & 2

[@GrowYourPotential]

Please tell me where to download the drivers for this sound card?

[@semogeng-master]

Sorry for the late answer, it is recommended to use this interface with ASIO4ALL generic software for usage with DAWs, only not if using Linux. Not being with DAW usage it already has built-in drivers.

[@misiekmiskowski138]

Hi. How do you rate the sound quality of this card for ordinary music listening? Is the sound better than from the computer's integrated sound card?

[@semogeng-master]

yes it's better due to controls you have that computer's option does not have. Like connections to monitors and headphones with proper levels adjustments... this interface for the price is superb, for music listening only will serve you well bud.

[@misiekmiskowski138]

@@semogeng-master thank you.

[@KH1DRO]

is it good for vocals recording ? can i plug in my condenser and dynamic xlr mics and record without alot of nosie ? can i use it for only vocals recording and is the noise floor better?

[@semogeng-master]

I was surprised positively about it. I merged one UR22 + this interface for analog usage through RCA outs. Detail: worked nicely, but I never recommend to do, because it's not practical and ASIO4ALL should be used for this about Windows systems. I recommend one Behringer UMC404HD, but if analog outboard gear like audio compressor won't be used, Q24 is really good. Detail: I believe all stores are ok, but I don't know if all Q24 are the same, even thinking so.

[@KH1DRO]

@@semogeng-master you're right,well i don't don't record with pre eqs,compressors and i mostly use ASIO4ALL with my BM 800 and the phantom power,im really tired of the noise floor that's why i thought this would be a good option with a behringer xm8500

@@KH1DRO, as I know some microphones need +48v, not all microphones. I consider this interface honest, but if you can buy the UMC404HD, my opinion.

Can i record out from mixer to audacity and listen through my monitors?

[@semogeng-master]

Never tried, but you possibilly can link 2 channels to your mixer and use it for analog purpose about summing, but never tried, so can't guarantee, the best would be to record directly using it, not the mixer.

[@Ptage]

Hey, I bought this and with the same position of knobs I get -45db white noise, which is very bad... I'm unlucky, probably not possible to fix it. Idk if I got a faulty piece or some fake one.

[@Ptage]

omg right after this comment I swapped usb port in my computer. It used to be in the front panel and now I plugged it directly to motherboard. Effect is now from -45db I got to -60db at max preams. Still far from your result but now it's actually usable because I don't use full gain knobs, so I take it to -70-75db with reducing gain. I swear I already was trying using other devices but didn't notice any difference. Still wish I could achieve your result. Any tips?

[@Ptage]

ok sorry again... it seems the change is caused because the volume in my windows settings was set to 100 and after I changed usb ports it reset to 60. What's interesting -- I cannot notice the volume of voice getting significantly quieter but the noise level is much lower, so it's good. Now I don't know -- should I try using 40-50 volume in windows and that's it? How it works for you? Or do I install some drivers for this device for it to work better?

[@semogeng-master]

@@Ptage this device has built-in drivers, it will only work with ASIO4ALL if you have more than 1 interface. A good practice can be use ferrite chokes to the USB-AxUSB-B cable, can reduce noise even a little.

[@Ptage]

@@semogeng-master sorry for typing too much in general haha. I want to clear out the noise isn't some interference with other devices, it's not static. It's very clear and smooth noise of the q-24 only, it's just too loud. Currently I have less noise with my usb mic than xlr... (-60db for usb @100gain, -45 for xlr @100). I will contact the seller in AliExpress, maybe they help? Thanks for your answer and if you have any idea what might be wrong let me know.

[@imrangill3380]

Brother i want to install drivers of this audio interface kindly guide me for that

[@semogeng-master]

this interface does not offer installation for drivers since it already has one driver inside it, but unfortunately won't run with ASIO protocol, but ASIO4ALL.

[@ClassicalRomance]

Hi, I would want to know if the Spectrum Meter is accurate? I tried importing a wav recorded file with -1 peak in Adobe Audition and when I imported it on Studio One 5 and opened Spectrum Meter it only shows the peak at -24. Why is it?

[@semogeng-master]

this question is really important/interesting, some meters have different metrics. Example: the DAWs Ardour and Mixbus can have K14 metering looking another view about sound pressure, different from the normal views we tend to use. This Spectrum meter I never did a research about, but used for an approach about noise levels, also for comparing interfaces. In my opinion should be because the frequencies shown are just about the tonal balance, while together they can give more about pressure, but I can be wrong, I don't use it so much, just used some times. If I have more accurate info I reply back again. About metering some good options I know are: LEVELS by Mastering the Mix, Expose v2 (standalone app) by the same brand and Waves WLM.

[@laptoppakdosen3958]

the knob "input-mix-daw", does it really work? can we "turn off" sound from the input and only hear sound from the daw? (and vice versa)

[@semogeng-master]

DAW is output, so 100% DAW weak or inexistent signal to inputs; 100% input signal to input, not for output, but you'll need at least some output gain for inputs usage too, so 100% left is not a solution, neither 100% right; Even if you use like me, the gain at 3rd dot, you'll not perceive input depending of the situation, like feedback, since the signal is weak for that I believe and also if you turn on rec or not makes the difference and you should turn on rec to record sure.

[@laptoppakdosen3958]

@@semogeng-master ​ I am confused with your explanation. Let me put it another way... In Behringer UMC204HD for example, there is a similar "mix knob" and it really works (to choose a proportion of mix between playback and input). We can turn the direct monitoring off with this knob by turning it all the way to the playback side. The opposite also apply. Of course the signal strength from the input side is affected by the gain, but this knob in UMC204HD really works. now this Teyun Q24 also has a knob like that, but I doubt if it is really functioning properly. Does it work like UMC204HD above?

[@semogeng-master]

@@laptoppakdosen3958 exactly I believe not, but works really fine and easy to manage.

[@antoniocurty]

can you turn off direct monitor when recording?

[@semogeng-master]

By direct monitoring you mean when the sound feedbacks with the signal appearing clearly? When I do the recordings using the Alesis 3630 I have some feedback, so I always create a fake output called sub without assingments, so the signal is never being about feedback. The only buttons it has about features are Hi-Z for instruments that need high impedance, mono for turning recordings in mono with merging L and R, loopback that I believe that aligns sound to the DAW as I know, but never used this feature yet.

[@antoniocurty]

@@semogeng-master The "direct monitor" is when you play guitar with plug-ins but you can heard the sound of guitar without plug-ins merge with the real sound of your guitar without plugins at output or phones output

[@semogeng-master]

@@antoniocurty I never tried, only use for microphone or through the Alesis 3630. All I can say for now is that the noise is not so much comparing about what could be, the price is honest and it's easy to setup.

[@mohdazmixx8595]

no direct monitor just loop button..if u are use plugin like me for guitar..go for behringer is ideal for the same price

[@tambayannidanfox6689]

how to install to loptop sir..

[@semogeng-master]

Plug a good USB cable from interface to the laptop (one like printer cable), I also recommend ferrite chokes, at least 1 fixed to the cable (but you can use without it, is just for avoid some possible interferences) and will be enough. This unit does not need drivers to be installed, all is built-in and ready to use; About TRS (balanced) signal in the back, the golden ones: use balanced cables for your monitors if they accept and for analog gear, if like me you use, use the RCA outputs to the inputs of the gear. The output of the analog gear should be linked via a TS cable to the inputs of Teyun Q-24. I recommend TS because RCA output are by definition unbalanced, but perhaps the input could be nice with TRS, I prefer to use TS. The first knob from right to left is for headphones; the second the output and the 3rd called Input-Mix-DAW if 100% left won't generate normal sound, but very quiet one, if you bring it up a little should send sound to the outputs and possibily phones; so you can use the output when your input is setted not 100% left (becareful with loud levels and do the tweaks slowly and carefully, don't just turn up the knob, slowly increase and test). Hi-Z is for instruments that need this high impedance thing and mono pressed, even using one single microphone the signal will be merged into mono. Loopback I don't use, so can't say about it. For headphones you'll need one with TRS connection or using one TRS adapter to the 3.5mm TRS.

[@semogeng-master]

@@tambayannidanfox6689 ferrite choke is a core with ferrite about it (a material) that you close on cables to tame some interferences, like the fat rounded rings around HDMI cables, those are ferrite chokes.

[@semogeng-master]

@@tambayannidanfox6689 this interface does not need any driver, just plug and use it about your computer; about the explanation I did for analog gear, if you don't use analog gear you can bypass it. For balanced TRS cables, they're the large pins with 2 rings normally in black = balanced, you plug it in the main outs with golden color and in the inputs of your monitors if the monitors have them. Some monitors are RCA based only, so you'll have to use adapters or a unbalanced TS to RCA cable (1 ring instead of 2).

[@AliHussain-sj7cb]

i want to record in stereo mode but I want to listen to the monitor in mono mode at same time is this possible

[@semogeng-master]

I don't know if the stereo setup about microphones will be invalidated if your DAW is setted to mono signal for the output, would have to try. If you record with 2 microphones (stereo) without the mono button pressed (this mono button is for sending to mono, not for hearing to mono), you'll have to see if your DAW at mono will also after you deselecting mono have 2 signals or 1.

[@AliHussain-sj7cb]

@@semogeng-master this button you mean is for not monitor headphones? i know about channel splitting just wanted to know what this mono button is for. is it for both monitor headphone and output or only output

[@AliHussain-sj7cb]

​@@semogeng-master actually daw accepts stereo input I just separate left right channels to different mono tracks

[@semogeng-master]

@@AliHussain-sj7cb mono button is for you turn one microphone signal in mono. Phones is about the Phones knob, Output the monitors thing and Input - Mix - Daw the amount of input vs output; Input - Mix - Daw influenciate both Output and Headphones.

[@semogeng-master]

@@AliHussain-sj7cb as I know is possible to have a not compensated signal if recording with one mic in the left signal, so mono does a real mono signal. Also for analog gear will occurs that when using the XLR/TRS inputs.

[@warren4838]

Is this betterthan the Q22 when it comes to sound quality?

[@semogeng-master]

I never tested, but prefer due to extra outputs, even via RCA and depending on the general output.

[@enwz96]

Got mine today and the noise floor is at -48db when plug in via the usb. Any tips I could do that would help? btw, the driver in windows is showing HD II device or something.

[@semogeng-master]

Where did you check the info? Your PC is so much about plugged USB devices? Very old? Good state? Which PSU? All is energy, if one single flow about energy is not plenty will generate problems as I know, and I can be wrong but USBs can differ... already did a test: laptop x desktop. The laptop incredibily was giving less noise than the desktop, and was the UR22, not Teyun. But decided to use the desktop. Try ferrite chokes. About drivers is correct: HD II, but some DAWs can ask for ASIO4ALL for it work properly, some will work with Windows Audio or ASIO4ALL, MME or another form. Also see about cables management and check the USB-B x USB-A cable.
