The best Hub Ever
Safwat 27.09.2020
I am using the Swissonic USB Hub 1916 since 2 months for my Studio equipment, I am connecting the following:
Komplete Kontrol S88
Maschine Jam
Maschine MK 3
2 X 5 TB Drives
Midi Hub
Korg Wavestate
Akai 25
Launch Control
Launch Pad X
AKAI MIDI Mix
Behringer Xenyx X1622USB
Focusrite 8i6
and
12.9 iPAD
iPhone

and it is working amazingly well with no hustle. it is so powerful with its 198 watts of power, all equipment are working seamlessly.

It is one of my best investments.

The only one issue I faced is that it has no comprehensive user manual, only one brief datasheet. and when I had some questions I've sent an email to the support team and I did not get any reply. Also there is no reference anywhere on the internet nor a website.

However, the product is amazing and working perfectly well, and I am thinking of buying another one as a backup, as all my studio equipment are depending on that single source of data so I need a backup.

Great USB hub for Studio Applications
Hobo Coco 02.10.2019
Good Solidly made USB hub,1U Metal casing,looks like it would survive life on the road,great that it's rack mountable also,I had looked around for a decent USB hub that catered for larger USB port counts for a while,which wasn't one of those annoying desktop models,I wish it had a few more ports on the Back though as well and that each port was able to be switched on/off,really pleased with this product,works flawlessly, both with USB thumb drives and USB powered devices,and also charges the phone which is handy!!!!my only negative is the USB 3.0 type B cable thats it supplied with is a little on the short side ,would have been nicer to have a longer cable since my rack is not situated near to the Computer,(I have since purchased a longer cable)Overall a good product,if a little bit overpriced for what it is,but suppose there is very little else on the market which offers the same aesthetics and practicalities,easy to use,just simply plug and play,and doesn't seem to suffer power failures to the Connected devices like some of the standalone hubs I've use, a no fuss USB hub,would recommend it for any who wants a decent USB hub with plenty of ports for studio use.

Seems to work great so far
weezul 04.04.2022
I'm not really into outboard gear, but having just grabbed a new desk with 9u, this has been a godsend compared to having 2 hubs on my desk. Currently it has ilok 3, waves key, card reader, UR824 interface, 2x USB-c charging cables, x-touch one, nektar impact, stream deck mkII all plugged in and working fantastically with no issues. For anyone wondering technically, it shows up as 4x USB 2 hubs and 4x USB 3 hubs, each with 4 ports from Realtek Semiconductor Corp. (0x0411, 0x0bda)

In case you're wondering what the status lights do ...
Redkeefy 28.09.2022
This is a good product but the manual is a 1 page document with very little info. I thought mine was faulty because the status lights weren't illuminating. Customer Services have been helpful. Apparently, they only light when something is connected that draws more than 300mA. Connecting a device like a Wes Audio Mimas which is self-powered doesn't seem to illuminate the lights but connecting a mobile phone that needs charging does. The lighst can also flicker while establishing the connection. So all good and glad I've got an explanation.

Way better than 2 or 3 plastic USB hubs.
Greg O 27.01.2022
Solid build! Really like it.
- Bought this piece as I had enough to replace desktop hubs every so often.
- I use 10 ports now and no power issues whatsoever.
- heavy - won't leave studio anytime soon :)
- front power switch - makes it easy to disconnect everything

Glad I got it.

Bien
Kibouille 02.11.2022
Remplit son rôle de Hub USB 2 qui convient à la plupart de mes périphériques. Seuls les plus modernes nécessitent du USB SuperSpeed 3.1 et passent par un autre hub USB plus petit en complément.

Perfect for my needs
scoffey 10.03.2020
This is a great unit, which I am so glad is still in stock. Unit powers all I/O on a acoustic automation rig and has never let us down operating 24/7 for a year. Highly recommend!

GAME CHANGER
Taosim 29.01.2026
I highly rate this device. It has organised my studio so much better and fixed so many small annoying issues with USB connections. I love it. Best purchase in so long. Took a huge weight off my laptop.

Superb tool to everyone. Recommend.
Tadas K 11.01.2024
I was searching to replace crappy amazon dongles.
Best tool to connect multiples synths, midi controllers and mixers. could not be happier apart from wonky usb connections.
My copy arrived with rear usb slightly offset, that puts slight pressure to connection. Similar, but less visible issue on 4th picture where rear white usb is slickly off. I expect it to fail within 6 months if will be used frequently.
Design amazing, Can be easily connected to rack via screws. LED becomes very bright - depending on power consumption.
