    Default Crane USB hub

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to buy a crane USB hub, I noticed that you can get em in America
    but I'm not willing to pay the shipping cost as it's works out more than the actual cost of the hub itself.

    Does anyone know where I can buy one in the uk or Europe,
    I have looked around but havnt found a seller at all

    Cheers

    Yeah I know that, but I like how it clips onto the stand
    Great for gigs, so that nothing can get split onto the hub

    I was just asking, I didn't know about it. I may look into it in the future.

    Yea the import fee kinda makes em more expensiver but do the job...they look identical to *&&^ ring's which could be a cheaper alternative

    Waste of money. Buy any POWERED usb hub and rig it up to clip onto your crane stand. Take the clip off the back of an old tape measure , glue or screw it onto the powered usb hub.

    Honestly I wouldn't want a powered USB hub for the same reason I won't buy an Audio 10, no need to have to plug in more adapters and wires into a power strip and complicate things. Really you're not going to have power issues on an unpowered USB hub if you are just plugging in a few controllers. I ran my db4, 2 x1s, and maschine on my hub with the power cable unplugged without realizing it or noticing a difference.
