Sorry, for the delay on a response john.

I used one at a friend's recording studio a month ago. But wasn't 
sure, what with my workload, if it was indeed the PowerWave. It was. 
It worked absolutely perfectly for me.

I know that the reviews, that have appeared in the past, in serious 
recording mags are all glowing...meaning great.

My buddy, who also uses the PowerMate, iMIc, G-Port, and USB AudioHub 
[which all come from the folks who make the AudioWave] is raving 
about all their stuff. He uses his setup a lot, as in nearly 24/7.

I know that shielding and its relationship to the presence, or lack 
of presence,  of 'proximity'-related artifacts [hum, buzz, etc] is a 
major concern. The AudioWave, when I used it, was operating perfectly 
in both ideal, and less than ideal, circumstances. It gets an "A" 
from me.
