DISC M-Audio FireWire 1814 Interface

Full Description

The FireWire 18/14 is an 18-in, 14-out audio interface complete with ADAT

Light pipe for multi-channel communication with other digital devices. It

features 8 x 4 analogue I/O at up to 24-bit/96kHz, and boasts 192kHz on the

first two inputs and all four outputs. Channels 1 and 2 also include high-quality

microphone/instrument preamps. S/PDIF optical digital I/O provides 2-channel

PCM, as well as pass-through of surround-encoded AC-3 and DTS material.

Flexible internal mixing allows virtually any input to route to any output,

including an aux bus for effects send or monitor mix. A front-panel momentary

switch allows DJ-style headphone auditioning between two assignable sources.

Other features include two headphone amplifiers, assignable level controller,

S/PDIF coaxial/optical digital I/O, 1 x 1 MIDI I/O, and BNC word clock connectors

for synchronization to other digital devices.
