Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP

A truly unique and necessary addition to your DAW.




The Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 DSP is Focusrite's
latest 16 In/8 Out FireWire audio interface, featuring real-time
DSP-powered tracking and mixing solutions tailor-made for the modern
home studio environment.

Alongside DSP-powered Compression and EQ
for latency-free tracking and "comfort" reverb for vocal monitoring, is
VRM; a Virtual Reference Monitoring technology that lets you hear your
mix in different environments, through different speakers and from
different positions, all just using headphones.

VRM makes Saffire
PRO 24 DSP the only interface capable of simulating over one hundred
different monitoring scenarios through your headphones. VRM overcomes
the major obstacle for mixing with headphones by giving you multiple
perspectives on your mix, as if you were listening through speakers.
Indeed, noise levels from mixing through speakers can make it impossible
for most to mix at home, especially late at night; with VRM, you can
mix anytime, anywhere. Using any pair of monitoring headphones, VRM
let's you choose your mixing environment from a living room, a bedroom
studio, or a professional studio. You then simply choose where you are
positioned in that room and what speakers you listen through.

Saffire
PRO 24 DSP draws on twenty-five years of mic-pre excellence. The two
Focusrite pre-amps capture every subtle nuance of your sound whilst
ensuring low noise and distortion. Meanwhile, high-quality digital
conversion and JetPLL jitter elimination technology ensure pristine
audio quality as your audio flows between the analogue and digital
domains.

Saffire PRO 24 DSP's other real-time DSP-powered effects
also exhibit Focusrite's uncompromising approach to audio quality. EQ,
Compression and "Comfort" Reverb sonically derived from the 'Focusrite
Plug-in Suite' (also included as VST/AU plug-ins) are all integrated
within the Saffire Mix Control software, providing professional
latency-free tools for tracking and monitoring.

Alongside the two
Focusrite pre-amps are a host of I/O options; two additional analog
inputs, six analog outputs, ADAT inputs (for expanding the interface
with, for example, Focusrite's OctoPre), stereo SPDIF I/O and 2 virtual
"loopback" inputs for routing digital audio between software
applications - ideal for capturing online audio. Front panel 5-LED
metering for each analogue input offers accurate viewing of levels.

Saffire
Mix Control, the zero-latency 16 x 8 DSP Mixer/Router software provided
with Saffire PRO 24 DSP, sets a new standard at this price point for
audio interface control. It features flexible output routing and
monitoring, as well as intuitive one-click setup solutions designed to
help you track, monitor and mix as easily as possible.

Saffire
PRO 24 DSP also comes with all the additional tools needed to start
making music right away. These include the latest version of the
Focusrite Plug-in Suite, which provides a significant upgrade from your
standard sequencer effects. The suite includes Compression, Reverb,
Gating and EQ VST/AU plug-ins.

Focusrite's established Xcite+
bundle is also included. The bundle features Ableton Live 7 Lite (for
all your production, performance and compositional needs), Novation's
Bass Station soft synth and over 1 gig of royalty-free samples from
Loopmasters and 'Mike the Drummer'.

Saffire PRO 24 DSP combines
two award-winning Focusrite pre-amps and a host of other I/O with VRM
Virtual Reference Monitoring, integrated real-time tracking and
monitoring effects, and easy-to-use mix control software. Together, they
deliver the most comprehensive professional compact music-recording
interface to date.

Focusrite’s popular Saffire Firewire
interfaces are fully compatible with Thunderbolt ports on Mac computers.
All you need to connect the two is a FireWire 400-800 cable (included
with all new Saffire interfaces later this year) and the Thunderbolt to
FireWire 800 adapter (not included). Simply plug this into the
Thunderbolt port on your computer and connect the FireWire interface –
it’s as simple as that. Saffire interfaces are 100% compatible with
Thunderbolt using this adaptor.
