Focusrite has introduced the Saffire Pro 24 FireWire audio interface, designed with recording musicians and the modern home studio in mind.
The Saffire Pro 24 incorporates two low-noise and low-distortion Focusrite pre-amps, combined with quality digital conversion and proprietary JetPLL jitter elimination technology that help ensure pristine quality as audio flows between analog and digital domains.
Alongside the two Focusrite pre-amps are a host of I/O options; two additional analog inputs, six analog outputs, ADAT inputs (for expanding the interface with, for example, Focusrite’s OctoPre), stereo SPDIF I/O and two virtual ‘loopback’ inputs for routing digital audio between software applications – ideal for capturing online audio.
Front panel five-LED metering for each analog input offers accurate viewing of levels.
Saffire Mix Control, the zero-latency 18 x 8 DSP Mixer/Router software provided with Saffire PRO 24, provides exceptional audio interface control. It features flexible output routing and monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click set-up solutions designed to help you track, monitor and mix as quickly as possible.
Saffire Pro 24 also comes with the latest version of the Focusrite Plug-in Suite, providing a significant upgrade in terms of standard sequencer effects. The suite includes Compression, Reverb, Gating and EQ.
Focusrite’s established Xcite+ bundle is also included. The bundle features Ableton Live Lite (for all your production, performance and compositional needs), Novation’s Bass Station soft synth and over 1 GB of royalty-free samples from Loopmasters and ‘Mike the Drummer’.
