Lightning connector broke and was stuck in my mobile phone. Low quality.
I was looking forward to using this device because of the Midas preamp, but was let down by the quality. It failed the 1st day I owned it. I sent it back.
It took some time for me to figure out that the unit powers on after you install and open Go Studio FX app. Unfortunately the instructions do not mention this. The app will authenticate and state the unit has been unlocked and is ready for use.
I managed to do about 12 brief 10-second vocal recordings using my SM57. Go Record and Go Studio FX worked fine, but using other apps for video/audio I ran into issues. During those recordings I lost the ability to monitor audio through the headphones. After that it was down hill. At this point I thought the headphone must have come lose, but that was not the case. Next, I thought the unit just needs a reboot. I kept thinking an on/off button would have been nice. I unplug everything and plug it back in and restart all apps. Well….. now the blue led indicators are not lighting up and the unit will not power on. So I attempted to try another time, however, this time I pull the cable out and the metal lightning cable was stuck in my phone. Wow! I was shocked. That’s the end for this product.
I suggest TC-Helicon use a full metal connector instead of the hard plastic. They should also fix the audio monitoring using 3rd party apps. I don’t think I want to go through this again. I ended up purchasing a Bluetooth microphone. I could not risk destroying my iPhone by sticking something into the charging port.
