Compatibility
Audio Equipment Compatibility Checker
Before you buy or plug something in, MyGear helps you check that your audio gear actually works together — the right connectors, signal levels and power, plus AI guidance based on what you already own.

Connectors and cables
Match jack, XLR, RCA, USB and other connections so you're not caught out by the wrong cable.

Device pairing
Check whether interfaces, controllers and instruments make a sensible match.
Common mismatches

Uses your inventory
Guidance considers the gear already in your locker for more relevant checks.
Fewer costly mistakes
