Donner Livejack Lite 2in 2out USB Audio Interface
Meet the Donner Livejack (2‑in / 2‑out USB interface) — a compact, versatile interface built to connect your instruments, mics, and DAW without fuss. Whether you're recording vocals + guitar, streaming, or building demos, this little box is designed to get out of the way and let you focus on sound.
From the front, you’ll find two inputs: one combo XLR / ¼″ (mic / line / instrument capable) and another ¼″ instrument/line input. You’ve got switches for instrument/line mode and 48V phantom power for condenser mics. On the outputs side, there are balanced ¼″ TRS outs for monitors, plus a headphone output for private monitoring. The interface runs over USB‑C, so it pairs nicely with modern laptops and (with adapters) tablets. There’s direct monitoring, so you can hear your source with near‑zero latency — crucial when you’re playing in time. It also supports 24‑bit / 192 kHz conversion, which gives you headroom and detail in your recordings.
On the DAW side, the Livejack is class‑compliant (especially on macOS) — meaning it should connect plug‑and‑play, making setup easier in Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, or your DAW of choice. On Windows, you may need an ASIO driver from the Donner site (or a community driver) to get low latency performance. Once installed, your DAW will see the livejack inputs and outputs, letting you record, mix, monitor, and route signals as needed.
In practice, this interface is ideal for singer‑songwriters, home‑studio setups, podcasters, and small rigs where you need quality capture without bulk. It won’t compete with ultra‑premium interfaces in specs or noise floor, but for its class and price, it offers genuine utility and connectivity.
