SAFFIRE PRO 26 I/O Saffire PRO 26 i/o is the ideal Firewire interface for music recording enthusiasts on a mobile multi-channel mission, providing more inputs and outputs with higher performance specs than any other interface in its class. Saffire PRO 26 i/o combines eight award-winning pre-amps with sixteen channels of ADAT, and two channels of SPDIF (up to 192kHz). Also employed are Focusrite`s high performance 24-bit digital converters. Saffire PRO 26 i/o is much more than just a high performance breakout box; the Saffire PRO package includes Focusrite`s highly acclaimed Saffire plug-in suite, comprising EQ, Compression, Amp Simulation and Reverb, in both VST and AU format. The hardware features 2 headphones outputs and a global monitor control with mute and dim options, as well as two `super channels` featuring variable mic impedance and instrument input, instantly accessible on the front fascia. The SaffireControl PRO software features many of the attributes of the original SaffireControl software, ensuring intuitive control over monitoring and level.* * High Quality 24-bit/192k Bus-powered Firewire Interface * 8 high quality Focusrite preamps with unrivalled A/D and D/A conversion * TOTAL i/o count of 26 inputs and 26 outputs * Free suite of Saffire VST/AU plug-ins (Compression, EQ, Reverb, Amp Sim) * 2 `super channels` with instrument input and variable impedance * 2 separate Headphones buses on the front panel * Free SaffireControl PRO software for advanced monitoring and level control* * MIDI In and Out * Word clock In and Out * Front panel Level, Dim and Mute controls assignable to all outputs
