Review: CEntrance AxePort Pro
The CEntrance Axeport Pro is probably the smallest (Wearable) digital interface for electric/bass guitars. The device is constructed out of anodized steel components and is dead simple to operate. Essentially, retailing for around $150, the Axeport is designed as a traveler's guitar interface. Essentially, if you also wanted to lay down some recordings while standing up and walking around your home studio it could be achieved with the Axeport. Some of the initial questions that people have about the Axeport Pro is always regarding sound quality- How can this tiny thing actually sound good, you ask? It sounds fantastic actually. It has full 24-bit/96kHz audio quality with a nice and loud headphone jack and one input for your guitar. It is connected to your computer through fast USB 2.0 connection.
The Axeport is a rugged device that feels almost like something Apple designed. When actually connected to your computer the Axeport lights up at one end, like a little flashlight. We are happy to report that this feature can be disabled once you install the software that comes with the Axeport. Another amazing thing that Axeport does is shift all of the documentation and software drivers on a 2GB USB thumb drive. This was a very cool thing because after installing the software you get a pretty decent size capacity thumb stick out of the deal.
Bottom line- excellent portable interface that is perhaps the smallest in the known world at the present moment. The sound eeasily matches that of larger interfaces such as the Mbox series with full 24 bit recording. Highly recommended device.

Hello Mr. Ganella, I’m looking of a cheap and efficient way to plug my guitar on my iMac and use programs like Amplitube. Is this the way to go or should I spend a little more for a real sound card?
Thank you very much
Charles
