M-Audio Now Shipping FireWire Audiophile

January 05, 2004

M-Audio has announced shipment of the new FireWire Audiophile interface for Windows and Macintosh computers. The FireWire Audiophile unites new technology with the best features of M-Audio'sFireWire 410, Audiophile USB and Audiophile 2496 interfaces.

The FireWire Audiophile is a 4 x 6 24-bit/96kHz mobile audio/MIDI interface designed to take full advantage of the high bandwidth the FireWire (IEEE 1394) protocol. Powering via either a laptop's 6-pin FireWire bus or the included DC power supply make it ideal for DJs, live performers, and desktop or laptop recording setups.

FireWire Audiophile features two analog RCA inputs and four analog RCA outputs. Coaxial digital S/PDIF I/O supports 2-channel PCM, as well as AC-3 and DTS pass-through of surround encoded material. The integrated software mixer provides low latency ASIO direct monitoring and flexible routing options. The combination of virtual aux sends on all channels and aux output assign, for example, allows for dedicated headphone mixes and sends to external effects. High-powered stereo headphone output with front-panel momentary A/B switching between two selectable sources for cueing make it the perfect fit for club and stage work. In addition to independent headphone volume, the assignable level controller allows users to adjust levels for output, input, software return or aux send right from the front panel. The 1x1 MIDI I/O completes the unit's functionality as a one-stop interface for computer-based musicians.

FireWire Audiophile is now shipping at an MSRP of $349.95.
