Does this have a latency 'problem', or can I use it - in lieu of an amp - for practice sessions? I'd be routing through a MBP Retina or iPhone 5s.

No latency at all, perfect for practice, but it would be tough to use in a live situation I think because I find I have to adjust the gain knob on the unit as I use different patches. Dealing with a volume on the guitar, on the irig, the iphone, and on the amp...it just gets crazy trying to dial in a tone that doesn't clip or sound weak.

Hello Steve, Not latency problems just sounded bad and volume was really low. Plus it was a pain to get it to work. I had IRig support help me get it running. So after all that I gave up and sent it back. I just ordered the Tascam GB-10 for practice myself. Hopefully I won't have to send that back too. Good luck!

There is no latency problem unless you conect your iPhone to a Bluetooth speaker. In this case there is a latency. I recomend a wire connection to the speaker.

I use every day with iPhone 5 or iPad and Bluetooth speaker (with wire from iPhone/pad) and have not experienced any latency issues.

Not sure. My iPhones and ipad connected as Bryan mentioned. I found sending my issues back to Amazon, who in turn sent my question to BeatBlock directly resolved my getting the BeatBlock powered up helped me. Really fast turn around time too.

Can't say about pre-amp, but works directly with Apple Mac Garage Band program, without any other drivers or software. Just plug and play.

I was also considering using this as an access point for Airplay. Did you try it and did it work? Thanks

With the devices I'm using, I'm getting < 3s delay. I have the 4 port version and it works great.

This sounds very confusing!For the App the amp needs to be connected to your network via the Cat5.For wireless audio from the iPhone/iPod/iPad you need the Bluetooth Adapter.For wired audio and video from the iPhone/iPod/iPad you need to use the Dock to USB connector which is supplied.Hope this helped clear up any confusion.Wouter

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

I'm not sure what you're trying to connect exactly. .. if the device is a newer Apple model, and it has a mini DisplayPort with a little lightening bolt beside it, then you have a thunderbolt port and you can use this adapter.The thunderbolt connection shouldn't slow down the network connection. The potential data throughput(speed) is much higher than any residential network setup. If you have a gigabit network, the adapter should be able to handle it without breaking a sweat.

Yes. It allows for the connection of a superior mic with an XLR connection while shooting videos with the phone. If you're using Garageband on your phone then the answer is yes to that as well. If on your Mac then this probably isn't what you need as it is designed to work with the unique iPhone connection. For a Mac an external device is superior such as the Focusrite line of pre-amps.

I think it has 2*20 watt drivers , it's pretty decent for the price , also I suggest looking at the sc ne3 which has AirPlay if you're an apple person. Sound quality is great and the same in both.

Airplay chips are AWFUL and unreliable. Use the Ethernet connection and you'll be fine. The speaker itself has the most amazing sound...

Hello there. I got this one to replace an old model. I am a full time musician and I use this device as practice tool and a demo recording device. You'd even record complex 8 track pieces if you'd use it with Amplitube's studio for an iPad.It sounds great for a tiny and fairly in expensive sound device like this.I would suggest you to go for a newer model though.It will cost you about 40$ more but it has Midi and other features, I would go for it myself if I wouldn't have this one.P.S. The only minus of these devises compare to they cheaper predecessor is that you can't change your iPhone or an iPad while recording or practicing. Keep in mind that the apps for these devices are power consuming. Hope it helps. Hello there. I got this one to replace an old model.

You'll need to have a good pre-amp if you buy this device. You get incredibly low signal levels without it. You could get a usb mixer, there are some reviewers who recommend some if you read on (if I remember correctly). You really don't want to buy a Zoom mic? They are nearly the same price as this mic alone. They give good sound and may provide a better work flow as you won't need cabling to connect it to a computer while recording. There is a shotgun attachment for the H5n model which is more than this mic alone but may be a bargain if you had to buy an additional pre-amp, XLR cable and USB cables for your present setup plan. If you got the H2n or H4n then your whole setup could be cheaper than this mic alone. Line + gradient pick up pattern seems a bit strange for someone doing only lectures especially if you are moving around at all you'd end up off mic if walked back and forth across a classroom or stage. You could get the Audiotechnica wired lavalier mic with the IPhone adapter and record straight to a phone in your pocket with the ZOOM App. this wouldn't give you the same quality sound but still pretty decent if you mic carefully and this would only cost you maybe $30. I hope this helps. I hope i'm not telling you anything you already know.

Hey Jordan, the latency is low enough to record with other tracks. The driver is an asio type. I usually get less then 5ms. ;) there is also a mix knob to hear direct to monitor with 0ms latency or a mix through the computer with the asio.

If you are a Mac user, please do not purchase this device. You will be sorry. They have not been updating the drivers for the Mac, and their own forum will give you plenty of rants. It is an interface to a computer, not a recorder. It will work with Soundflower, sort of. The preamps are very poor. So you may have to buy an external amp if you intend on recording a passive guitar through it. I did this and then it worked. It will do multi tracks as noted by the other reviews. However, I was never able to get the Avid software to properly work. It was a very annoying process so I would not purchase this device for that.

If I were you id return the Yamaha immediately; I had nothing but issues with it, it refused to connect to my network, and Yamaha's tech support had me on the phone for over 3 hours. Also - a rep told me that I need to hardwire my receiver instead of using the adapter. I bought a TP-LINK TL-WA801ND Wireless N300 Access Point and it works great! I can use Pandora and net radio. You dont need it to play your iPad thru the reciver. Get rid of the Yamaha YWA - is junk!

Maybe the processing speed is a bit slower. But as long as the routing system is in the same room as the room you're gaming in you shouldn't have a problem. Personally, I never got knocked off of the connection while gaming.
