FireWire 410 delivers powerful performance for FireWire compatible computers. Its 4-in/10-out configuration is perfect for personal recording where you build up tracks one at a time yet need multiple outputs. FireWire 410's ten outputs allow your computer-based recording system to behave more like a traditional analog recorder or sampler, where signals are bussed to multiple channels of an analog mixer or to multi-channel monitoring systems. Software-controlled DSP handles all internal routing and mixing. And FireWire bus-powered architecture also means that you have the flexibility of mobile operation for everything from field recording to tracking on the run.
