FireWire 1814 - 18-in/14-out FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface w/ ADAT Lightpipe
The FireWire 18/14 is an 18-in, 14-out audio interface complete with ADAT Lightpipe for multi-channel communication with other digital devices. It features 8 x 4 analog 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 input and output routing, 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.
Features:
-18 x 14 FireWire audio interface (16 x 12 simultaneous).
-8 x 24-bit/96kHz analog inputs (1/4” TS).
-4 x 24-bit/96kHz analog outputs (1/4' TRS/TS).
-2 x 4 24-bit/192kHz analog I/O capability.
-8 x 8 ADAT Lightpipe I/O.
-Digital S/PDIF (coaxial) I/O w/ 2-channel PCM.
-Digital out also supports pass-through of AC-3/DTS surround-encoded content.
-Dual mic/instrument preamps (Neutrik XLR/ 1/4” TS) with:
-input level controls,
-20dB pad,
-phantom power,
-signal LEDs.
-Two independently assignable headphone outputs with individual level controls (1/4" TRS).
-Flexible software-controlled mixing of hardware and software I/O
aux sends on all channels and aux output assign allows for dedicated headphone mixes and sends to external effects.
-User-assignable front-panel level control (output, input, software return, aux send).
-Near zero-latency hardware direct monitoring.
-Low-latency ASIO software direct monitoring.
-Momentary switch for A/B cueing two software-assignable headphone sources or switching ASIO monitoring on/off.
-1 x 1 16-channel MIDI I/O.
-Wordclock (BNC) for sync to external devices.
-Power on/off switch with indicator LED.
-Powered via FireWire bus or included DC power adapter.
-Two convenient high-bandwidth FireWire ports.
-Rugged steel construction.
-Includes Ableton Live Lite music production software, so you can make music right away.
