FIREWIRE SOLO
FireWire Audio Interface
The FireWire Solo is designed from the ground up as an easy-to-use,
high-quality interface for songwriters to record guitars, vocals and more on the
computer. Compatible with most popular music software, this compact bus-powered
unit is small enough to go anywhere you want to take your music. In addition to the 1/4”
guitar input right on the front panel, a professional XLR microphone input also lets you record vocals and acoustic
instruments. There are also dual line inputs for effects, drum machines and other outboard gear. FireWire connectivity,
up to 24-bit/96kHz sample rate support and digital I/O all add up to outstanding sonic performance. As simple to connect
and operate as it is powerful, FireWire Solo is the foundation of your computer-based songwriting studio.
FireWire Lightpipe Interface
The ProFire Lightbridge interfaces up to four Lightpipe devices with
a PC or Mac via FireWire—perfect for integrating digital mixers,
A-D and D-A converters and/or ADATs with most popular DAW
software. The unit is capable of 32 channels of Lightpipe I/O, two
channels of S/PDIF I/O and two-channel analog output for a total of 34 x 36 concurrent channels
at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. (It also supports 16-channel Lightpipe operation at 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates via the
S/MUX protocol.) The ProFire Lightbridge can output word clock as a
master, or slave to external sync on any input, and MIDI I/O also
accommodates MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control.
Independent volume controls are provided for the ¼” balanced outputs
and ¼” headphone jack.
