These 5 audio interfaces came out on top in my testing gauntlet, and now they’re all on sale with a hefty Black Friday discount – including $200 off a UA Apollo

As we’re all well aware by now, it’s the best time of the year to pick up a deal on music gear, but with five of my top six audio interfaces on sale right now, even I’m surprised at how many deals are on offer right now. It’s still a few days to go until the Black Friday guitar deals officially arrive, but if you’re looking to up your guitar recording game, then now’s the time to cash in.

I’ve tested loads of audio interfaces over the past year or so, giving me a great overview of what’s on the market and which interfaces best suit different kinds of musicians. Nearly every interface will suit the modern guitar player; it’s simply a case of different features that separate them from one another.
