FireWire Digital Audio Recording Interfaces

AudioFire 4

AudioFire 4 is a complete, portable audio recording interface powered with the flexibility of Firewire and bus power (via 6-pin FireWire cable). It's a full duplex 24-bit 96 kHz interface with a routing playback feature between the computer and different physical outputs, including S/PDIF. Setup is fast and easy. First install the Echo software, and then just plug in your microphone or instrument and start recording with your DAW of choice.

The AudioFire 4 offers ultra low-latency monitoring on any Windows XP/Vista/Win 7 or Mac OS X (10.4 or later) computer (desktop or notebook) with a FireWire port. It has two universal front inputs with mic preamps, phantom power to meet your microphone's specifications, and trim knobs for volume control.  It also comes with two balanced analog inputs (TRS), four balanced analog outputs (TRS), a stereo headphone output, two FireWire ports, S/PDIF I/O and  MIDI I/O.
