Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Fender’s Link I/O is a compact USB-C interface for recording an instrument directly into a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Its 1/4-inch high-impedance input is designed for passive and active instruments, and the pad accommodates higher-output sources. Use the side-mounted mix control to balance direct input against playback while tracking; the reactive LED meter helps watch input level. It records at 24-bit/96 kHz, runs from USB-C power, and uses a weighted body with anti-skid silicone feet to stay put on a work surface.
