Review on πŸ”Œ 10FT USB2.0 Data Transfer Host Cable Cord for Akai MPK25 MPK49 MPK61 MPK88 Professional MIDI Keyboard PC Cord (Original Version) by Matt Venable

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not immune to audio recording

This USB is great unless you want to use it for recording with a microphone or for other purposes where electronic interference is an issue . I suspect it might affect the data as well but I haven't had any issues with the data and it was fine using it with my midi controller but on my second attempt to use it to record with a mic, I encountered an awful hum/squeak. . After a lot of frustrating troubleshooting (multiple computers, disconnecting every other possible electrical device in the room, etc.) I switched to the old USB cable I had and the problem went away.

Pros
  • New universal USB version 2.0
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
