Focusrite Saffire Pro 10I/O 10 In/10 Out Firewire Audio Interface Feature

  • 20 channels of I/O (26 in, 26 Out)
  • 8 Focusrite mic pre-amps plus dual ADAT I/O, S/PDIF
  • Comes bundled with Focusrite Compression, Reverb, Amp Modeling & EQ VST/AU plug-ins
  • 19-inch rack-mount with detachable rack-ears
  • Ultra-low latency Firewire interface
Saffire PRO 10 i/o features the same microphone pre-amplifiers and monitoring control software as 26 i/o. Housed within a similar stunning 19-inch rack-mount case with detachable rack ears, Saffire Pro 10i/o combines eight channels of Focusrite pre-amplification with eight balanced line outputs and stereo SPDIF i/o. The pre-amps featured in Saffire PRO 10 i/o are a derivative of the award-winning Green Series. This pre-amp design upholds the same high bandwidth philosophy whilst boasting class-leading specifications. In addition, the converters adhere to performance specifications far beyond other similarly priced interfaces. As with all Saffire solutions, the unit can be either bus-powered or powered via an external PSU. The unit has also been designed to take full advantage of the external PSU and to maximize performance when powered in this way. SaffireControl PRO delivers a control application that avoids any annoying dropdown menus and provides comprehensive custom mix solutions. It also offers quick-select 'tracking' and 'playback' solutions, as well as both the float and shrink/expand facilities found in the original. Saffire Pro 10 i/o also features MIDI I/O alongside a host of additional processing features. Two channels with DI are also provided, eliminating the need for a separate DI box. The front fascia also boasts two independent headphones outputs with volume control, again customizable within SaffireControl PRO. In addition to the control software, Saffire Pro 10 i/o comes bundled with the same acclaimed Compression, Reverb, Amp Modeling and EQ VST/AU plug-ins for use in the mix.

Focusrite ISA One Classic Single-channel Mic Pre-Amplifier with Independent D.I. Feature

  • Single Channel Original ISA Series Pre Amp in a robust portable metal Chassis
  • Choose one of four carefully selected input impedances, including the original ISA 110 setting, to suit any microphone.
  • Direct Instrument inputs including high and low impedance options to provide a comprehensive DI solution
  • Dedicated insert point allows you to place extra processing between the pre-amp or D.I. and the optional converter
Focusrite is dedicated to bringing you the tools you need to enhance the way you work. Our products are made with pride and principle by engineers who themselves are musicians and understand the part our products play in your process. The ‘ISA One’ microphone pre-amplifier delivers Focusrite's prestigious ISA transformer-based pre-amp in a rugged and portable chassis, at a groundbreaking price. ISA One features the classic vintage microphone pre-amplifier topology from the original ISA110 module, including the Lundahl L1538 transformer and bespoke zobel network. The pre-amp is complemented by a line input and an independent D.I. channel, complete with dedicated gain control, active or passive impedance switch, a TRS Jack output for routing to an amp and an independent XLR output on the rear. This flexible independent D.I. makes the ISA One ideal both for engineers wishing to blend a D.I.’d guitar signal with a mic’d guitar cabinet, and for demanding performers who require a single classic solution for both guitar and vocals. ISA One also features an insert point, for extra processing between the pre amp or D.I. and the optional converter. Phantom power, phase reverse and a 75Hz, 18dB/octave high-pass filter are also available from the angled front fascia. Independent input metering for both channels is provided by a moving coil VU meter with variable calibration to suit analogue and digital recording media, alongside two six-LED peak meters; inputs can be metered either pre- or post-insert. The meter calibrations utilize all the same reference points as Digidesign's Pro Tools HD system, allowing effortless line-up. ISA One’s headphone output features a dedicated volume control to deliver an external stereo cue mix fed to the headphones via two TRS jack inputs on the rear of the unit. At Focusrite our focus on quality is all-consuming. All of our products are easy to use, logically designed, and give years of class-leading, top-notch performance.
