Cubilux CB5 USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming, Podcasting, USB to 3.5mm Sound Card with Stereo Microphone Input, Line-In, Line-Out & Headphone Jack for Monitors, Support Windows & Mac OS

I have a 12-year-old Mac Book with OS 11.7.1 running Audacity, and the CB5 interface worked right off the bat. I have a condenser mic running into a preamp/compressor, and following instructions plugged it into the CB5 line-in before plugging the CB5 into the Mac. It showed up right away in the audio inputs. I recorded a test track and played it back through my stereo, and the sound is excellent. Just what I wanted, and no special software or dongles required. For the low price, you just can't beat it.

I found this on accident and decided to try it out because it seemed perfect for my use cases. I’ve had this sound card for about two weeks. So to start It Exceeds expectations by actually working with a phone even though says it does not. I got both my iPhone 13 Pro and an Samsung phone to recognize it for my music producing apps over an otg dongle. Not only am I saving in size with this I save a little bit of money by not having to use a larger audio interface for inputs which is usually our only option. Im about to order their even smaller one from them to test and see if can do what this one does. It could be one of the best solutions for audio input for phones in my use cases. On the windows PC/steam deck everything worked perfectly as promised. I tested it out and OBS with all the inputs and both the outputs can be used all at the same time. I don’t think you can find another sound card solution that has this many stereo inputs plus the two stereo outputs at this size and excellent build quality. Oh and it’s plug and play with no sketchy driver download situation.

Its not state of the art high performance sound interface. But you could but 100 of these for what one of those costs. And its performance is pretty close. No XLR or 48V for powered microphones. However sample rates to 192/24 and distortion in the -90dB or better range. I'm using it for measuring speakers and microphones and its not a limitation with the best transducers. In practical terms its performance is essentially "perfect" for audio needs. However to get the higher sample rates on Windows you need to go to "Settings">System"> "sound">"more sound settings" and open the individual device and select "advanced" to access the controls. The direct from the taskbar doesnt work. i think its a Microsoft issue since its Microsoft's native driver. There are complaints about units failing. If mine does I'll report back.

I was hoping that the device would show up to a PC as a single device with multiple channels of input and output but it shows up more as a hub with multiple audio devices connected. Still useful but not exactly what I needed. I decided to keep it anyway because it was inexpensive and I can find a use for it. It is tiny for the number of inputs and outputs included and requires no external power separate from USB which is convenient.

11 Feb 2025 This is a review for the Cubilux Model CB5: USB to 3.5mm Sound Card with Stereo Microphone Input Didn't expect much. Like others, I am favorably impressed. There's even a support web site for the brand name. It's cubilux dot com. Plugged it into Windows 10. It was plug and play. Sounds good. My old computers have a lot of static in the built-in microphone circuitry. I have heard the same static in YouTube videos when people post tutorials. Some old computers with Realtek chips have that static problem in the microphone circuitry. I bought this Cubilux Model CB5 adapter to try to eliminate that static and to eliminate microphone voice echo in the finished output. This Cubilux adapter has no static in the microphone circuit. And...most of all...it works well with OBS (Open Broadcast Studio). Echo in the output was a problem but this Cubilux has elimiated that problem. I stilll hear microphone voice echo in my ears from my headphones as I monitor the output but the echo is eliminated from the OBS finished output so it's practically useful even though not perfect...but that's certainly not a Cubilux problem....that's an inherent problem in OBS software. There's a $20 software add-on that claims to give better control over audio mixing and audio output but I haven't taken the leap because I use several computers in my house and I don't want to drag my aging carcass around the house to situate myself at one particular computer for an OBS task and I don't want to have to add $20 to each computer configuration. So, Cubilux has given me the practical perfomance that meets my needs when using OBS. Thanks. And...thanks to Amazon. I've not seen Cubilux any where else for a decent price and certainly the full product lineup doesn't seem to be anywhere else. Uh-oh. I just looked at the Cubilux web site. They have added some very interesting mixers at a very attractive price. I might get one and try running line out from the Cubilux CB5 into a Cubilux mixer along with my microphone connected to the Cubilux mixer then run the mixer output into the line-in of the Cubilux CB5 and capture that into OBS to see if that gives me the mix of voice mixed with that which OBS calls "desktop audio" so I can mix properly and hear no echo. In this way, maybe, I can be voice performer and studio producer at the same time with no echo in my ears while creating content. We shall see.

Great for what it does. Like many USB products can be finicky and frustrating. For example, works ok with windows 11 but “buggy” with Ubuntu. Depends on the app, too.

Worst product doesnt work i dont think this prodict should be sold on amazon

Bought for my tech savvy kid, he is satisfied.

即返品しました。 ちゃんとしたインターフェースを求めてる人には絶対にお勧めしません。 配信にも宅録に使用しても期待通りの結果は得られないと思います。

Un producto más que decente, no las tenia todas conmigo, pero la calidad de sonido es implecable si no buscas una calidad profesional, las diferentes entradas y salidas de audio te permiten mucha flexibilidad. No le pongo 5 estrellas porque siempre se puede mejorar. Edit 07/11 He intentado por software utilizar simultaneamente las dos salidas de linea, no me ha funcionado. Al conectar unos auriculares IEM, me he encontrado un importante ruido de fondo, no se mitiga con aisladores de ferrita. Bajo a 3 estrellas, aún recomendable si necesitas una tarjeta de sonido externa para un laptop o MiniPc.

Ça fonctionne très bien Permet d’avoir du son qui sort vers un casque par exemple et autre chose

Werkt prima, fijne oplossing voor een NUC of laptop die geen line-in of line-out heeft.

Ich habe lange nach dem richtigen Konverter gesucht - der hier ist wirklich wunderbar, simple, wertig verarbeitet, robist und funktioniert einwandfrei und sehr einfach.
