Elektron Overhub 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub

These are super fast & super reliable. This is the one HUB that I've found that can keep up with my USB MIDI devices as routed through the Mio10. Its odd, the mid has errors w cheap hubs, likely due to their lagging or something, but this thing can keep up. Ive had no issues w incompatibility or laggy signals w this. Its well built & looks nice too. The main PC side connector isn't great but its the standard USB3micro plug you'll find on any of these kinds of things so no surprises there. Once you get it set up you don't really need to worry about that at all.

This thing glitched and burnt out my USB connection on my Sequential Pro 3. Fortunately, Sequential repairs like this only cost $25, but I still had to box it and ship it to them and be without it for a few weeks. Would never use this again.

Thought this was the piece for me. It’s a tank with Achilles’ heel. The USB port broke so easy and it was useless. I will not buy ever again. I bought cheaper hub that’s plastic and it’s lasted me years. This hub lasted two weeks. And I bought two. Don’t waste your money

I was surprised to see all the "meh" reviews as Elektron products are typically at the top of the pile. Well after using my Overhub for a couple of months I can understand the complaints, but it is also by no means a bad product. First, it doesn't come with the same cloth-covered flex USB cables that their products do. Gotta say I don't remember mine coming with *anything* but the pics look like it comes with at least a 3.0 cable to hook you to your computer. Second, in order to get reliability as well as advertised speeds, you really need an external power source (i.e. plug it into the wall as well rather than letting the USB cable handle all the power needs; though I stress it will work with Elektron products that support Overbridge just fine without one) Though if this is your main USB hub, a power brick is a must. And being from Elektron, you should already know this is easier said than done. To be 100% clear, it does NOT come with a wall power adapter, and particularly in the US, the voltage specs it's looking for are whack (5V dc, 4A.) I was able to find one of those multiple adapter/voltage plugs affordably on Amazon, but no joke, the thing is half the size of a 6-outlet power strip. It works fine, hits the speeds advertised, but really unless you're looking for a hub to run Elektron devices only, there are cheaper, less sexy options out there.

I really wanted this to be the solution to all my recording studio needs, but sadly like most other USB hubs on the market, this too is a piece of junk. It may look like a pro piece of gear, but it isn't. This is a powered hub, which is great, except that when you do plug it into power, it introduces a noise across all your audio devices. I emailed Elektron about this and never got a response. It's incredibly finicky. If you breath on it the wrong way, your devices will dismount. The slim USB port they use on the back to connect to your computer is not secured. Over time, the weight of the connector itself lifted the port off the PCB rendering the entire hub useless. I really thought I was buying the best here and was finished with these problems, but I'm starting to think that you're better off buying the cheaper hubs and just replacing them every few months.

It's very reliable and sturdy. One issue i have though, is the USB 3 cable that plugs into the back of it comes a little bit loose sometimes. This causes all of my USB devices to be disconnected. Other than that, it's a great piece. I bought a second one.

Works fine until the host USB port fails. It’s soldered onto the circuit board very poorly and has a high failure rate (check the Elektronauts forum.) Mine was held in place with velcro and the usb cables all tied into place, nothing moved on my setup and the micro-b port on the back failed. I opened it up and all the pins had popped off the circuit board. I’d recommend really any other usb hub over this one.

Piece of junk female usb connector is not working moving to a better hub...

Great product

Das Gerät ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet, alles aus reinstem Stahl. Außerdem enthalten sind gleich 2 zugehörige USB Kabel, je eins für USB 3.0 und 2.0. Keine Installation ist erforderlich, somit kann dieser USB Hub auch unterwegs als verlässlicher Begleiter mitgenommen werden. Nach Millisekunden war der Overhub bereits funktionstüchtig: Zuerst wurde mein Kingston USB 3.0 sofort angezeigt, und alles lief einwandfrei. Dann allerdings wurde er nach 10 Minuten automatisch ausgeworfen, da er wohl zu viel Strom gezogen hatte. Der Grund: Für Geräte wie externe Speicher oder Smartphones, die viel Strom benötigen braucht der Hub noch eine zusätzliche Stromzufuhr in Form eines speziellen AC Adapters, der hier auf Amazon zu finden ist: http://amzn.to/2f2v1Qq Das einzig ärgerliche, und auch der einzige Minuspunkt, ist, das der AC Adapter nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten ist und man sich diesen noch zusätzlich bestellen muss. Bei einem derartig hohen Preis sollte das eigentlich nicht so sein. Allerdings muss man natürlich auch bedenken, das diese Gerät primär für Musiker, die mit Midi-Controllern arbeiten, konzipiert wurde. Alle, die, wie ich es anfangs hatte, selbst Probleme mit der Stromzufuhr von stromsparenden Geräten wie externen Keyboards oder sonstigen Controllern haben, sollten versuchen, anstatt dem mitgelieferten USB 3.0 Kabel das ebenfalls beigefügte 2.0 Kabel zu verwenden. Bei mir zumindest hat es geholfen, und nun funktionieren Geräte wie Drucker und Gamingcontroller einwandfrei. Alles in allem ist es ein gutes Gerät, man muss eben nur beachten, dass man den Overhub ans Netz anschließt, wenn man sein Handy aufladen oder Dateien zwischen externen USB Laufwerken und -Festplatten transferieren möchte.

私は7つのelektron製品を接続してMIDI+USBまたはOverdriveで使用していますが、全く問題なく高速な転送が実現できています。尚、Overdriveで使用する場合には機器のsystemのカテゴリーからOverdriveを選択する必要があります。現在ではロゴが白抜きに変わり大変カッコイイです。また、表示されている製品サイズは箱の外径で実際には大まかですが13×5×1cmでかなりスリムです。値段は高めですが機器に均一された高速伝送を実現出来るのは◎です。

Alles Bestens. Und das Produkt ist meiner Meinung nach der beste USB Hub. Verarbeitung - Latenz ist etc

If you check any Elektron social media account post that mentions this product you'll see how many people have problems that Elektron just don't want to address. It can't seem to manage 4 plugged in devices without dropping the connection to one and they aren't even heavy bandwidth devices. And the build quality ends at the nice metal casing. Everything else is just loose and feels prone to breaking. You can get a better hub for much cheaper.
