    Where can I buy an Audio Interface in HK?

    I just bought an AKG Perception 120 microphone, but I don't have an usb audio interface. Can somebody please tell me where I can buy a good interface at a reasonable price in Hong Kong??

    Did you purchase the "Perception 120 USB", or the nornal version (without "USB" suffix)?

    ... but I don't have an usb audio interface. Can somebody please tell me where I can buy a good interface at a reasonable price in Hong Kong??
    What exactly are you looking for - an interface to connect the microphone to, or an interface that outputs the sound?

    You will need a pre-amplifier with XLR connector that can provide 48V phantom power.

    M-Audio ProFire 610 would be suitable, assuming your PC has a Firewire connector.

    A cheaper alternative that you can connect via USB: M-Audio MobilePre USB

    You can probably find even cheaper alternatives at the local computer malls, just ensure that the device has a XLR connector and provides 48V phantom power.
    Connection to your PC could be via Firewire, USB or even the analog audio input, subject to the connections available on your PC.

    I get most of my stuff from Sonic Music.

    I would recommend either a Apogee Duet 2 or a RME Babyface, depending on your budget.

    That's the way to go.
