Review on Rapco Horizon LTIBLOX Laptop Interface by Brittney Kutty

This unit accepts a stereo line or headphone level signal and has an isolated balanced mono output at mic level. When connected to a laptop, the presenter can control the volume with a convenient knob instead of fumbling with menus and the like. Should have bought this sooner. Like: Sturdy box. The volume control is large and easy to use. The short included cable is the right length for most situations. Sound quality is good enough for MP3 or video playback. Dislikes: The output level is pretty low, even for a microphone. level signal. Low quality mic inputs really struggle to restore level without adding a lot of noise. A slightly lower turns ratio would be a very nice improvement. The handle on the top makes it difficult to slip into the pocket of the tool bag. But it also makes it easier to use. Can't be both ways. There is no marking of the maximum and minimum volume. Most of the time it really doesn't matter, just rotate up or down to fit. It's easy enough to add a few marks with a silver marker.
