From the brand
IK Multimedia. Musicians First
IK combines cutting-edge technology and Italian craftsmanship to help creators of all kinds to sound better.
-
How did we get our start?
Back in 1996, two Italian musicians asked: "Could we emulate an analog circuit on a computer and get the same sound as the real gear?" The answer was yes, the resulting technology made classic studio and guitar gear accessible to millions, and IK was born.
What problem are we solving?
IK believes in using the latest technology to make pro-quality music and audio creation accessible to everyone, on any device.
What makes our products unique?
IK combines a tradition of craftsmanship with a focus on innovation. We're proud to develop and manufacture right at home in Italy.

Most ppl choosing this device will be wanting the free amplitube se and tonex se software.
Which are significant upgrade from the free "cs" version and put into upgrade pricing for full versions of you want them later.
The Ableton lite code will be on the third party software tab of the axe I/o hardware tab of your user area after you have created an account with IK.
I would have taken half a star off for the circles I had to run in to set it all up but not a full star and at 50+ years I'm more impatient than most with the registration window parade.
The set up and drivers do require registering product and going to several user pages to get all the free software.
After driver install be sure to got to windows hardware audio settings
(Not the desktop sound menu) and under properties for axe i/o uncheck the exclusive control boxes
Otherwise amplitube will mute all other audio.
All this being said I'd give 4.5 stars because it's basically a high quality single input interface with midi and nice guitar preamp that includes an amazing amp and effects sim for guitar (or any input really) and Ableton lite for the value of the software.
For that guy who thinks a major product made for Windows does not work on Windows without the company;s knowledge, try rebootinf after you attach to your comuter's USB port. If you just plug it in new it will not be recognized by your PC until you reboot. If that does not work, check the port you plug in into. Should be a port on your PC or laptop Also, you will not get any sound out of its Amp out until you down load the software for this device. not just Amplitude. You need to use the software to click on a meter to send your signal to your amp out port. You also have to turn your monitor knob to the left to hear sound before it goes into your software and to the right to here it processed.
In short before anyone trashes. product, RTFM because the odds are that the problem is the user, not the gear. I supported tech for 50 years and 90% of the time the problem is the user and I have to listen to them curse the device or software they are using. One other thing, people get annoyed when they are asked if it is plugged in and accuse me of treating them like idiots. Same with other problems. I still ask the basics because 25% of the time, it is not plugged in or they did not bother reading the instructions or decided on a better way to do things. We call users Lusers for a reason. But it has provided me a fantastic living and I am all in favor of those who trash tech objects because it is above their level of knowledge or refuse to read the manual.
This is a great product that I have used from day 1. Only sold my old one because a friend wanted/needed one right away and it was a chance for me to get the latest model which works on ally WIn and Mac machines. Heck I can probably plug in my toaster and get better tasting toast. :)
Just note that because 90% of the customers have no problem maybe the problem is you. I long time musian bought my old DACs and I had to set them up for him. He did not call me screaming that i sold him junk. He simple admitted that he lacked the knowledge to install it. That does not make you stupid. I have a very high IQ and the only thing I know how to fix on a car is to fill the tires with air. That done not make me stupid, m 7 years in gifted classes did not teach us how to repair cars or fix tings. So not knowing how to do something does not make you stupid, it just means you lack the knowledge or skill to do one particularly thing.
When I purchased their audio interface, IKM agreed to provide me with a serial number for Amp 5 MAX. It turned out to be a trial version that would eventually expire although the Q&A section clearly stated that Amp 5 Max was included in the purchase. When it started making noise on numerous amp models and presets, I contacted IKM’s customer support. For over two weeks I attempted to seek a resolution until, finally, IKM told me I would only have access to basic version of Amp 5 although I sent them proof of the serial number that they themselves provided. They refused to resolve my issues at that point, so I immediately reported this incident to Amazon for a refund.
I wrote to the management team at IKM regarding this debacle. It took them more than a month to respond with a lame apology. They admitted their mistake and then defended their rep’s erroneous decision, stating it was a typical response when it comes to noise issues. In the same email, they made an even more lame offer of help – an empty gesture at best. I replied by telling them to rectify the situation they put me in. I never heard back.
IK Multimedia is a company made up of management and staff who offer NO support and accept NO responsibility whatsoever for their product even when they are at fault. Not once did they offer a resolution regarding this situation. They made a conscious choice to ignore my repeated requests for a resolution to this issue.
If you value your time and your money, you can purchase a much better quality audio interface and software for significantly less.
You’ve been warned - BUYER BEWARE.
