| Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Firewire Audio Interface Details
The Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, a multichannel
FireWire audio interface designed with today s project studio in mind,
delivers the sound quality of much more expensive interfaces.
Focusrite's
unparalleled pre-amp legacy forms the foundation of the Saffire Pro 40
interface, with eight award-winning Focusrite pre-amps. These are
combined with the latest in FireWire interfacing technology to deliver
seamless integration, excellent routing flexibility and future-proof,
rock-solid driver stability.
With the Saffire PRO 40
interface, sonic integrity reigns supreme. The eight Focusite pre-amps
ensure low noise and distortion, while quality digital conversion and
JetPLL jitter elimination technology ensure pristine audio quality as
your audio flows between the analogue and digital domains.
Alongside
the eight Focusrite pre-amps are a host of I/O options; 10 analog
outputs, ADAT I/O, stereo SPDIF I/O, and 2 virtual "loopback" inputs
for routing digital audio between software applications. Every channel
features phantom power, with the first two channels also featuring -9dB
pads for additional headroom. Front panel 5-LED metering for each
analog input offers accurate viewing of levels.
Saffire PRO 40
comes with the Focusrite plug-in suite. Focusrite Compression, Reverb,
Gating and EQ VST/AU plug-ins provide a significant upgrade from
standard sequencer effects, bringing a touch of class to your session.
Focusrite s established Xcite+ bundle is also included. The bundle
includes Ableton Live Lite, Novation s Bass Station soft synth and over
1 gig of royalty-free samples.
Saffire PRO 40 Control, the

PRO 40, sets a new standard at this price point for audio interface
control. It features unparalleled output routing and monitoring, as
well as intuitive one-click solutions, a clear and concise mixing
layout and large on-screen metering for inputs, outputs and submixes.

speakers from spikes when booting up or shutting down. Front panel
